​LAST SUMMER:

​I'm Helen, last summer holidays, I went with my family to Paris. We went by car. There was me, my parents, my brother Tom and my little sister Susan. We live in Brighton, and we are English. We saw the most exciting places in Paris, like the Eiffel tower and the lower museum, and we made a city tour. I loved it because Paris is a beautiful city.

On the fifth day, we went to Euro Disney. ​That was fantastic. We all enjoyed ourselves a lot, we stayed in Euro Disney for four days. They were the most exciting days I had all my life. We were exhausted because we had to walk a lot to watch everything and enjoy the amusements. My sister is only four years old, and she loves it. I met all the Disney characters, and they were hilarious. We stayed at a hotel inside Euro Disney.
