Last summer I went to Paris with my family. We travelled by train through the Channel Tunnel. We stayed there for five days because we wanted to see the city and enjoy a short holiday. During our stay we visited the Eiffel Tower, walked along the Seine and tried French food. It was an exciting journey, and we came home with many wonderful memories.

Hi,

Last summer I went to Paris with my family. We travelled by train through the Channel Tunnel, which was very exciting. We stayed there for five days during our holiday. While we were there, we visited the Eiffel Tower, walked around the city centre and tried delicious French food. We also took lots of photos and bought some souvenirs. It was a wonderful trip, and I will always remember it.

Best wishes,
Alex
