III. Circle best option A, B, C or D to answer following questions: (0.2 x 5 = 1.0 pt) Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Thank you both for the wonderful wedding present. Both Jill and I have always wanted to go to France and visit the many museums. We were so shocked when we first saw the airplane tickets that we almost fainted! It was more than we could have hoped to receive airplane tickets to France as a wedding present! Paris is wonderful! The only trouble is trying to decide where to go. I want to go to the museums, but Jill wants to see more of the beautiful traditional churches. In the end, we decided to see the churches in the morning (when the weather is cool), and the museums in the afternoon (because they’re air-conditioned). This allows us to get the most sight-seeing done during our two-week stay. There are many coffee shops, too. Jill likes sitting outsite and watching people, but I like sitting inside where I can enjoy the smell of the coffee. French coffees are so much more aromantic and stronger than the coffee we are used to back home. Thanks again for the lovely trip! We sent you a postcard, but I think we will arrive back home before you get it. It is a picture of the Eiffel Tower. Love, Freddy and Jill
