Read the following letter and then choose the correct option each of the following questions.

Dear Michael:

     I was very glad to receive your letter. You asked me how I spent my holidays.

     Well, I did many different things. I swam in the pool and played some sports with my friends. We also went to beautiful places by bike and had picnics there.

     I also went to the cinema and the mountains.

    My parents rented a cottage in the French Pyrinees and we wen trekking and climbed some mountains.

    We saw amazing places and lakes.

    In August we went to Cyprus. We spent two weeks there going to the beach everyday and visiting many interesting sites. The only problem was that it was far too hot for me there.

    How about your summer holidays? Did you have fun?

   I hope you had a wonderful summer too!!

   Sorry but I have to leave now. My mum needs some help at home.

   Looking forward hearing from you.

   All the best.

             Tom
