9th B grade TERM PAPER

I. Read the passages and choose the correct options according to the readings. 

One of my favorite vacation places is Mexico. I really like the weather there
because it never gets cold. The people are very nice too. They never laugh at my bad
Spanish. The food is really good. Mexico City is a very interesting place to visit. It has
some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels are too expensive to
stay but there are more affordable options. For example, you can stay at one of the beach
resorts like Acapulco. If you are planning to visit Mexico, you should definitely see the
Mayan temples near Merida.
