　　Dear Brenda,

　　I have just come back from France. It was the first time I had ever been there. We spent one day at Disneyland Park. We all had a good time there as it is a very exciting place. I've got lots of news to tell you.

　　When we arrived in Paris, my brother John was very excited. He wanted to go straight into the park, but my mother told him that he would have to wait until we had to check into the hotel.

　　About an hour later, we bought some tickets and John and I ran into the park. We got on a streetcar. It took us along a road called Main Street USA. The street is like an old American street with old-fashioned shops. Next we went to Adventureland. We went to see the Swiss Family Robinson who were having a picnic in their tree house. Before long, we were all hungry so we had lunch in a lovely American restaurant. The food was very delicious.

　　After that we went to Fantasyland. I thought it was great. It was my favorite part of the park. I talked with Alice and had tea and cakes. John went to see Sleeping Beauty's castle in the hope of seeing Sleeping Beauty. Unluckily, she was sleeping so he wasn't able to see her.

　　We decided to go to Discoveryland next. On our way we saw Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. They are well-known cartoon characters. They were very big. They were much bigger than I had thought. It was late in the afternoon, but we thought we had just enough time to visit Discoveryland when John found he had lost a button from his shirt. We looked everywhere for the button, but we couldn't find it. When we arrived at the entrance to Discoveryland, there was a big sign on the gate that read “CLOSED”. We were too late. We were disappointed, but I agreed we had had a wonderful time.

　　I hope that we will go back soon.

Love,

Jenny
