Lili’s Blog Welcome Mountain Lovers! Sunday, March 28
Enjoy! Share your adventures.

I have always loved (1) to climb (climb) mountains. I’d like
(2) (visit) the Alps more often, but it’s expensive. I plan
(3) (go) back there as soon as I can. Last year, I went to

the Alps with my brothers. I always expect (4) (have) a few
problems on the way up a mountain, but this time the weather was really bad. Halfway
up, we met some experienced climbers. They warned us (5)
(get) off the mountain as quickly as possible. My younger brother decided
(6) (take) their advice. But my older brother is a very

experienced climber. Together we managed (7) (reach) the top.
