Original:

I plan to travel to Paris in this April with my mom and my college. I plan to visit the Eiffel Tower and go to the famous museum to see the famous dry Mona Lisa, and I plan to try the local food, but I don’t know what’s their famous local food. I also plan to visit the country near France, but I haven’t decided which country I will go. I think go to Europe, shopping is the happy things and maybe my friend will let me buy something for them. And I will take my camera to there to take some photos. I hope I can take amazing photos and I hope the weather there can be nice.

I hope I can take amazing photos and I hope the weather will be nice.
