Read this letter from Ben to his friend Sheila and choose the CORRECT alternative.

Dear Sheila,

    In your last letter, you asked me to tell you about all the things I did during my summer vacation.

    We went to Vancouver (1) I have some old friends (2) I haven't seen for about three years. My friend Tim, (3) mother I wrote about in my last letter to you, came with me and we had a great time. We flew into Vancouver on Monday 24th, (4) was also my birthday.

    The first thing we did was to visit the wonderful aquarium in the city center (5) there are three killer whales and a whole crowd of seals, penguins and dolphins. We arrived in the late afternoon (6) all the animals are fed so it was wonderful to see the dolphins leaping out of the water to get the fish (7) they love to eat so much.

    The following day, (8) was cloudy and rainy unfortunately, we went to a museum (9) they have some dinosaur skeletons (10) local people have found in the area. The horrible weather never improved all day so we visited a superb seafood restaurant later in the afternoon and had an early dinner. The waiters, (11) were all dressed in traditional fishermen's clothes, were very friendly and told us about the history of the restaurant (12) name was The Jolly Whaler. The restaurant, (13) has been open since 1888, was once visited by the American President J.F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie.

    The skies were blue on Thursday and we spent some time out on the sea in a large boat (14) we hired. I caught a big fish (15) the captain said was the biggest he'd seen this year. I felt very proud! We left on Thursday evening after a mini-vacation (16) helped me to relax a lot and now I have returned to work.

    The next time (17) you write to me, you must tell me about YOUR last vacation.

Bye for now Sheila,
Ben
