PART 1

It is common knowledge that several facilities need

the extra amount of money that is offered by our
local authorities. But which one should receive it?
This is a topic that is often discussed but rarely
solved.
On the one hand, the increasing number of
childhood illnesses caused by pollution and the lack
of green spaces influences the will of our community
to spend more money in public gardens. Even
though the positive consequences of encouraging
our government to invest in such facilities are not
seen in the short term, the reduction of contaminant
gases may be observed after a few years. In
addition, many people agree that everyone would
enjoy having more parks.
On the other hand, it is a fact that our cultural
heritage is in danger due to the lukewarm passion of
our community. Consequently, spending money in
our local museums in order to improve their features
and arouse the interest of neightbours appears as
an important issue. Furthermore, modernising these
institutions may attract unexpected tourists to our
town.
Taking all arguments into consideration, it seems to
me that our local authorities should spend money
on public gardens. At first sight, I would say that
investing in museums is as necessary as improving
parks. Nevertheless, according to a recent survey,
only few people would find museums interesting,

whereas the hole town could enjoy better public

spaces.

PART 2, 4)
Dear Chris,
Thanks so much for your letter. It was so good to hear
from you. Im really happy for the news! It will be nice
to meet up that week! I will now give you some
personal recommendations that will help you to enjoy
your stay in Buenos Aires.
First of all, you have to take into account that there are
several places that you can visit. My city is huge, and
you cant miss a chance to visit Palermo and La
Recoleta, two beautiful communes. I remember you
spoke about how much you loved big public gardens.
Well, Los Bosques de Palermo will definitely amaze
you!
Secondly, there are many things you must do during
your visit. You know that friend of mine I told you
about? He is a tourist guide! He can show you our most
important monuments. If I were you, I wouldnt lose
this opportunity! As well as visiting them, you should
try to learn their hidden history! I guess you will
discover a lot of interesting information.
Doing a guided tour not only will allow you to visit
Buenos Aires must-dos, but also to become an
unusual tourist that cares about our city. Anyway, you

will have time to be a conventional one and try our

local meals such as asado and empanadas!
I think thats all for now. If you have any questions,
please write back. Im looking forward to seeing you
soon!
Best wishes,
Juan Pablo
