Our Toy Shop

Hi, my name is Amy. I am twelve years old. We have a small toy shop in our neighbourhood. My father says Fridays are the busiest day in our toy shop. So after school, I go there to help my dad. That's another reason why I like Fridays.

We allow kids to play with the toys when they are in the store. My father says I am responsible for the toys and that I need to watch and make sure nothing breaks.

It is always noisy there. Because it’s full of babies and small children. Little girls tend to go for dolls, boys go for cars. Some just want to play with the toys, some actually want to buy them. It’s a bit tiring for me but I like going to the shop and helping my father.

Which of the followings is incorrect?

Mexico

One of my favourite 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.
