The Seven

Environments

Hello Grade 7’s! I am a new employee at Tripcentral travel agency and I am completely overwhelmed with work! Can you please help me plan a vacation for a difficult client of mine? All she has told me is that she LOVES THE HEAT! I will describe to you the environments of the places that I have in mind for my client. If you help me by the end of class, I can assure that Miss. Bozzelli will have a reward for you next class!

THANK YOU!
