Answer Options
A.
Dear Ada,
I hope you're doing well. I just returned from a short trip to Lagos last month. We stayed there for two days, arriving on Thursday evening and leaving Friday night.
Lagos is a bustling city, and I spent most of my time shopping at the markets. I did try a boat ride on the lagoon, but it was very crowded.
The trip was okay, but I missed the quiet of the countryside.
Maybe you could visit sometime, but I'm not sure when I'll go again.
Love,

Dear Ada,
I hope you're well! I just got back from a wonderful three‑day break in Badagry last weekend. We arrived on Friday afternoon and left Sunday night.
Badagry's sandy beach was stunning, and I loved strolling along the shore at sunrise. The highlight was a boat ride on the lagoon, where we spotted colourful birds and even a dolphin!
The whole trip left me feeling completely refreshed and reminded me how much I enjoy the sea breeze and the laid‑back vibe of the town.
You must come with me next time - we could explore the historic market together and maybe try some fresh seafood.
Can't wait to hear from you.
Love,

Dear Ada,
Just got back from Badagry where I spent a wonderful five‑day vacation last month. We arrived on Monday and left on Saturday.
I spent most of my time at the hotel pool and didn't get to see the beach. I did try a local restaurant, which was delicious.
The trip made me feel bored and I wish I had done more.
You should definitely come with me next time - we could relax together.
Love,
[Your Name]

Dear Ada,
I'm writing to tell you about my recent holiday in Badagry. I went there last weekend and stayed for three days, from Saturday morning until Tuesday evening.
The beach was nice, and I enjoyed walking along the shore. I also visited the historic museum, which was interesting.
The experience left me feeling a bit tired, but it was nice to get away.
Let's catch up soon.
Love,
