Sample Answer:

Dear William,

It is always great pleasure for me to write you. Hope this letter will find you in sound health. As you already know that I spent two weeks in France tour. You would be very glad to know that I visited the famous Musee du Louvre.

The Louvre is one of the largest museums of the world. I was astonished with both the art collections and royal palace including parts of medieval castle concealed in the basement. You know anyone will be mesmerized if he sees the scale and sheer wealth of Louvre. The Louvre’s collection includes ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, paintings, Mesopotamian antiquities and Egyptian relics, Italian Renaissance paintings, French Neoclassical and Romantic Painting, Islamic art and so on. Without question, the Louvre’s most attractive part is the Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”. It was an inexpressible experience for that I was enchanted with her enigmatic smile. Overall, the visit to the museum is my lifelong experience that I will never forget.

Even though I was so exhausted after visiting the museum, I have learned lots of things in a single day. I hope you certainly will enjoy if you visit it.

All the best,
Richard
