Test & Exercises
Translate this text from English to French
“This pool of water is worth checking out. Situated across a tall building, it has simple attractions on its middle that should make you stop to check it while walking by. Check it out and you’ll find a funny looking white skull with blue eyes and red lips. The skull looks more like a clown than a scary figure. It is perched over some metal bar structure. If you happen to pass by the area as you visit Paris, don’t forget to take a picture of this skull like we did.”
