world.

Dear Marco,
This is my third time
visiting Paris, and I
think it is one of the
most beautiful cities in
the world. Paris, as I’m
sure you know, is the
capital of France. Today I
walked along the Avenue
des Champs-Elysees, which
is the most famous street
in Paris. I think it may (Group 3 read the 3 paragraph.)

be the most famous street

in the world. It is lined
with beautiful trees,
fountains, and flowers.
There are shops, theaters
and restaurants and many
sidewalks’ cafes.

I had a wonderful lunch

at one of the sidewalk
cafes. The pastry I had
for dessert was especially
delicious. Paris is known
for its fine French
cooking. I noticed on the
café menu that they serve (All the group read the 4th

escargot, snails in other
words! I don’t think I’ll
be trying that while I am
here, though.

When you think of Paris,

you probably think of the
Eiffel Tower. Anyone
visiting Paris has to see
the Eiffel Tower. You can
see the top of the Eiffel
Tower from anywhere in the
city. It is almost 1,000
feet tall. When it was
built, it was the tallest
building in the world. You
can walk up the stairs to
the top, or you can take
an elevator. From the top Facts refers to something that
