Hello Boston!
This is my first trip to Boston, Massachusetts, and so far it’s been an unforgettable experience. We’re here
for ten days, and then we’ll be going to New York for another five days before going home. There are lots
of things to see and do here – we’ve already been on the old town trolley* tour, which was a great way to see
the sights of the city. 1 ___ Tomorrow, we’ve got tickets to go on the harbour cruise. I had promised my sister
that we’d do the pizza tour of the North End of the city tomorrow afternoon, but I’m not sure if we’ll have time
now. 2 ___ I’m going to do that with him, and Mum and my sister are going to do a walking tour of the old part
of the city. The tour takes two hours and they’ll have the opportunity to learn lots about the history of the city.
We’re all looking forward to going to the beach at Martha’s Vineyard later this week. We take a bus to Cape
Cod and then take the ferry from there. Then at the weekend, we’re doing a photographic tour of Boston –
it’s a tour where you are taught how to take good photos. 3___
Then, just before we go to New York, we’re going to do a very different type of tour – it’s a chocolate tasting
experience! 4 ___ I can’t wait!
*trolley – a type of transport similar to a tram

A I hear you’re taken to six different places to try out different types of chocolate made in the city.
B My dad wants to go to a baseball match at Fenway Park and do a tour of the place, too.
C My mum has an amazing new camera and lens, so that will be a good opportunity for her.
D I’m not particularly keen on chocolate but I love pizza.
E This afternoon we’re going to visit Quincy Market to do some shopping and then have dinner there.
