Lesson 8.6, Exercise 3
Answers will vary. Sample answer is shown.
To spend time in Paris would be wonderful. Learning about it in my French class has made
me want to visit. I would like to spend time touring the museums, climbing the Eiffel Tower, and
taking a boat cruise on the Seine River. During the day, I would explore famous landmarks. On
my last night, I would eat a delicious dinner while sitting at an outside cafe. Wearing a fancy
outfit from a French designer, I would feel like a true celebrity!
