E: welcome back! How was your vacation?

T: it was fantastic, but I'm glad to be back! Being 1 a tourist is really tiring!

E: where did you end up going?

T: because it's off-season, we got a really good package deal to Paris, so we went there.

E: I've always wanted to go to Paris. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous tourist attractions 2 in the world! Did you go to the top?

T: that was the first thing we did. I have a few pictures. Do you want to seet them?

E: sure. What's this one a picture of?

T: oh, that's a picture of me on our fourth day of travelling. I'm standing 3 next to a famous founation in the centre of the city.

E: you don't look very happy in that picture.

T: no ,by that time, I was sick of sightseeing. I had had enough of art galleries, cathedrals 4, fountains 5, statues 6, and palaces!

E: so what did you do?

T: we spent that afternoon walking around a flea 7 market. We had a few coffees, watched a movie, and went for a swim in the pool at the hotel.

E: my travel agent always seminds me to plan a day of relaxing for every 3 days of sightseeing. Did you go to the Louvre?

T: of course! You can't go to Paris without going to their famous art gallery! I was surprised by how small the Mona Lisa was though.

E: that's what everyone says! I can't wait to see it for myself some day.

欢迎回来!假期过得怎么样?

好极了。不过回到家我还是很高兴。毕竟出门旅游还是挺累的。

那你后来决定去哪里了?

由于属于旅游淡季,我们赶上了一个去巴黎的特别优惠的旅游团,所以我们就去那儿了。

我一直都很想去巴黎。埃菲尔铁塔是世界上最著名的名胜之一!你登到塔顶了吗?

我们第一站就是去那儿。我拍了一些照片。你想看看吗?

当然。这张拍的是什么?

这是我在旅游第四天拍的。我站在市中心一个特别有名的喷泉旁边。

你看起来怎么高兴啊?

不是,那时候我对观光已经有点腻了。我参观了太多的美术馆,教堂,喷泉,雕像和宫殿!

那你怎么办?

那天下午我们去逛了逛跳蚤市场。喝咖啡,看电影,然后回酒店泳池游了泳。

我参加的旅行社总是提醒我每观光3天就要腾出一天时间来放松身心。你们去卢浮宫了吗?

当然去了!去巴黎怎么能不去最有名的美术馆呢!但是蒙娜丽莎那幅画怎么那么小啊,真让我大吃一惊。

每个去过的人都这么说!我已经等不及了,一定要找时间亲自去看一看!
