Text 1:Holiday in Disneyland Paris

Hello, My name is xxx . I’m 19 years old and I’m a huge fan of Disneyland Paris. Next week I’m going to France with my boyfriend. Our first stop is a hotel in Reims. It’s a budget hotel and we spend there 50 euros for a night. The next stop is my favorite themepark Disneyland Paris. We have booked a really nice hotel for 300 euros for 2 nights. We those for a extra stop on our way to Disneyland Paris because we want to relax and have enough sleep before we go to the park. Disneyland Paris is a lovely park because when you are there you are in a another world were you forget everything that is stressful. I have been there one time before and it was amazing. When mickey gave me a hug it feels so magical. Friday start our return trip, we have planned a stop in the Adrennen in Belgium. I love the little mountains there, because in the Netherlands we don’t have mountains. When we are back home we drive 800 kilometers in total. That’s a lot. But we have both a driving license, that make it easier to drive so many kilometers.

Text 2: My vacation in Switzerland

This summer break I went to Switzerland with my parents. Switzerland is known for it’s big mountains with snowy mountaintops! So I was really excited to see the mountaintops in real life. The car ride was long but so worth it.

 While entering Switzerland we were already surrounded by mountains and clear blue skies. It was so beautiful! When we arrived at the house and took all of our stuff out of the car we went hiking.

It was a long hike but the views are always worth it! The only thing bothering me was the temperature.. It was so incredibly hot! And imagine climbing up a mountain with 35 degrees Celsius!

The rest of the vacation we went on several more hikes but we also stayed at the house and read books in the sun. Which was relaxing after all the hiking.

I had a lovely vacation with my parents and really enjoyed the beauty of Switzerland and can’t wait to visit the country again when i’m older.
