Vacationing
Imagine you are taking a vacation
to this country. Write a story of 8-10 sentences about your vacation.
You should include the following:
·
what cities will you visit
·
what activities can you do there
·
what museums are there and what can you see there |
For this section,
you should just google TOURISM and your country. It will give you
plenty of websites to cruise and visit. You will need details- not
just "the beach" but the names of beaches or cities that
you will visit. If you've chosen the US, your vacationing should focus
in areas of Spanish influence where there are many Spanish speakers-
this will take some research! |
