Task for the 6th level

Hi boys and girs of 6th level! 

Here is an example of the task I ordered you

had to do yesterday. Pay attention is only to

follow the structures.

Places to visit in Monzon

Monzon is a small town in the north east of Aragon. I was there  last weekend. Here are two places I can  recommend.

The castle is a very popular tourist attraction in Monzon.It´s one hundred metres tall. I recommend it because you can  see incredible views of the area. From the top of it you can see the cathedral and the river La Sosa. On a clear day, you can see the Pyrenees. The castle has got five towers from the Middle Age.  You can find information online about prices and opening times.
