In May, I go on holiday to Paris with my friend.
We have a great time there. In the first few days,
we do a lot of sightseeing. We see many beautiful
places like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame and
other usual tourist attractions. I take hundreds of
photos. One day we get lost on our way back to
the hotel. It doesn’t matter because we find a
really good market with lots of little stalls. They
sell just about everything from apples to antique s.
We buy many lovely souvenirs there. We spend a
lot of money, but I feel very happy. I think those
are the best days. Paris is worth visiting.
What verb form (tense) is used throughout the text? Is that the best choice? Why?
