Last winter Helen A) went with her family to the mountains. They B) went skiing every day and enjoyed the fresh air. Helen thought the mountains were much C) nicer than the city because everything was clean and quiet. She also tried snowboarding for the first time. It was difficult but very exciting. In the evenings the family sat near the fireplace, drank tea, and played games. Right now Helen D) is putting photos from the holidays in her album. She says it is one of the most wonderful trips she has E) ever had.
