I am doing really great. I am really enjoying my tour of the museums of Europe. I
have been to the Louvre in Paris. It was really exciting seeing the real Mona Lisa, but I was
disappointed because it was so small. Right now I am in Spain. I have visited Madrid and
now I am in Barcelona. There are so many museums to visit that I don’t know where to begin. 5

everything that I wanted to see. Some days I have to choose between having lunch or going
to a museum. However, the museums in Spain are not as expensive as the museums in
France. I want to go to Italy next. I hear that Florence has the best art of any city in Europe. (1)

Read the following advertisement and letter
If you are the kind of person who just can’t seem to lose weight no matter what you do,
don’t give up. There’s still hope. You need to try the Caraway Diet. The Caraway Diet is
the creation of Janet Caraway. She once weighed 200 pounds, but she finally got tired of
being overweight and having people making fun of her(1). Janet studied nutrition, and then
she came up with her own diet. Thanks to that diet, she lost 10 pounds in the first month (3),
and she eventually got her weight down to the 110 pounds that she currently weighs. The
Caraway Diet is approved by doctors and is completely safe. You don’t have to take lots of
exotic vitamins, and you don’t have to do rigorous exercise every day. Just follow the diet,
don’t eat any junk food, engage in twenty to thirty minutes of light exercise a day, and
watch the pounds come off (2). It’s the perfect diet for people who are on the go and don’t
have time to join a gym. You’re guaranteed to lose 5 pounds a month. If you don’t lose that
much in the first month, we’ll refund your money in full. Call now to sign up for the
Caraway Diet. You’ll be glad you did!
------------------------------------------------------------------ Dear Better Business Bureau:
I would like to report the Caraway Diet for fraudulent advertising. The Caraway Diet
promises its members that if they don’t lose a certain amount of weigh after the first month
of membership, then it will refund its client’s money. I tried the Caraway Diet for two
months and failed to lose any weight; in fact, I gained two pounds (4). Unfortunately, when
I requested a refund of my money, my request was denied. I was not even given the benefit
of a reason. The money that I lost was minimal. I’m not particularly concerned about that.
However, I don’t like to see advertisers lie about their product. That’s why I’m writing you
this letter. I would like for you to conduct an investigation of the Caraway Diet, or, if that is
not possible, at least to keep this letter on file so that others interested in the Caraway Diet
will not be fooled like I was. Sincerely, Nancy Roberts
