Hi Jane,
I’m looking forward to your visit next week! Can´t believe you will be here for a whole week.
I want to ask you a couple of questions. I’d like to take you to Disneyland Paris one day. It’s a little expensive, almost 50 euros. Would you like to do that or would you rather spend that money on something else? I was also thinking about food, do you have any dietary restrictions or allergies? Finally, is there anything special that you would like to do during your stay here? I just want to plan everything so that you can have a perfect week!!
Can´t wait to see you,
Marie.
Congratulations! You have finished your course!

Agadir a place worth visiting.
Agadir is a small city located in the South-West of Morocco. Even though the city may be small it is growing at a rapid pace, but besides the cize of the city the beaches and other attractions are unforgetable.
The main reason for why Agadir has so many tourist is because of the wonderfull beaches accompanied by their luxurious hotels. The beach in Agadir has a wonderfull boardwalk that allows you to acces many restaurants and shops that are on the beach side.
But that is not all, because if you want more acction in your trip you came to the right place, not anly can you go surfing in the ocean waves but you can go explore the sand dunes. These dunes may not be as big as the ones in the desert but they allow a lot of tourists to have a greate time.
Agadir is a great place to go visit and I am happy I live there!

exercise A:
Hi Marie!
I am so glad I am going to see you next week, I am also looking forward for that!
So, about that question, Disneyland Paris! Just shut up and take my money! Of course I want to go! That makes me want to leave home right now. I will be looking forward for that.
About food, I am only alergic to crab and scool so I am fine, but I have some problems when trying something new, so just dont prepare some odd looking french food.
I dont know of other places to go, we have similar likes and dislikes so jut take me where you like going. I might want to visit the Louvre and what is left of the Notre Dame though.
Can not wait to see you too!
Jane.
Good job, Tom! Great email! I also want to visit Paris now!
