A REPORT ABOUT A PLACE

The Eiffel Tower is a modern building in Paris, France, located in Campo de Marte, and it is  the most visited structure in the world. It was the highest structure in the world for over 40 years, until it was surpassed by another one.

The Eiffel Tower was built in 1887. Its name is in honor  for the creator, Gustave Eiffel. Its design is unique annd incredibly innovate. The first floor has 57 metres high , the second floor has 115 meters from the ground  and the last floor  has 267 meters. The total height is 324 meters. It looks like a big pyramid. It has 5 lifts and there are restaurants in each floor. When you go up, you feel a bit like flying! Hundred of visitors come every day to see  the abolutely fantastic views from Paris.

When the Eiffel Tower was finished, a lot of people felt like it was too modern and different from the other buildings. However, in my opinion, this is what makes it special and beautiful. The Eiffel Tower has become the most representative symbol of Paris.

WRITING TASK

Last summer my friends took me to USA. We went to a beautiful city called Tahoe City. Our hotel (Basecamp Tahoe City) offered us a tour guide, and we acepted even though we couldn't speak english very well.

At first, the trip on the tourist bus was lovely, yet so long. When we arrived in the first place, we were hungry, so we looked for a restaurant. Delicious food! After that, we ended up with a huge belly! We continued with the tour guide. There were many stops, yet the most important was the Lake Tahoe. As there was a large lake, we swam and have fun in it. While we were in there, the tourist bus left without us! I had never been so scared in my life!

Finally, a friend tried to call a taxi, yet it was no coverage. Another friend had the solution, go on the street and see if some car could take us to the hotel. It worked, although we had to pay. I think we all learned from our mistake!

WHICH IS YOUR FAVOURITE....

In our review this week, we compare three fun parks: Port Aventura, Disneyland and Warner California. They all work in differents countries. Port Aventura is a fun park that represents 
differents countries of all the world. It's really enjoyable, in it ,it's the highest rollercroster in Europe. Disneyland is a good fun park, the most important thing is that the characters of Disney sing and you can take photos with them. Warner California is similar to Disneyland,but the characters are from Warner California.

In our opinion, Port Aventura is the most exciting fun park. The rides are more intresting and they are bigger than in Disneyland. Disneyland is the oldest park but it's the park that has more ride. Warner California is the biggest park and has the best setting.

In conclusion, Warner California is the best park. We give it 5 stars. Port Aventura is a very good park but it isn't as good as Warner California , finally we give it 4 stars. Also, Disneyland is a good park but we think it is the worst fun park. We give it 4 stars because it is still great !

          because I have family there and we visited them.
        
          Romania is fantastic! There are many trees and plants and many places
          to explore. What I liked most was when we went to Târgu Mures, where
          we stayed to sleep in a hotel. We visited the zoo and sone really big pools.
          It was very  exotic.In Andorra we also stayed one night in a hotel. We
          went to Caldea. A good experience !

          I really liked this summer holidays because I stayed in places I've
          never been.

In the classroom ,there was a closet with toys. My first friend was
