Original:

I plan to French on April the 28. These days I do the plan for my trip. My airplane will arrive French in the morning of April 29, so I want to go to the Montmartre in the afternoon of that day. And the second day in France I want to go to the Loire Valley. I want to go there with a travel group. There will have local travel agency to sell this service. And the third day of my holiday is the Labor Holiday, and I think the shops and the museums will closed, so I just have a city visit for that day. On May 2nd and 3rd, I want to buy a two-day card for museum, then I can go to the museum on the list, and I can use the fast express with that card. I haven’t planned for the last two day for my trip in France. I want to go to the Disneyland, but I think my colleague and my mom don’t want to go there.
