One of my favourite holiday places is Mexico. It is in Central America, not far from the USA and the Caribbean. I
really like the weather there because it never gets cold. The people are very nice too. They treat tourists very well. The
food is really good, but it can be a little spicy.
Mexico City is a very interesting place to visit. It has some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. But
there are other options: Cancun and Acapulco, with their amazing apartments on the beaches, and the Mayan temples
are some places to visit in this warm country where you can find history, culture and relaxation at the same time.
Last summer I travelled there with my family and we enjoyed it a lot. I also met a guy. His name is Alfonso and we
started a relationship. I only hope it is forever.

1. The text is about the beaches in Mexico City. T F

2. Tourists can eat very well there. T F
3. Mexico City is very modern. T F
4. The writer travelled to Mexico with a guy called Alfonso. T F
5. She is married to Alfonso now. T F
