1. A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

  


Welcome everyone to your first blogging assignment. As you might have noticed in the title of this post, you'll have to write about a country you'd like to visit. In order to accomplish this task, you'll have to answer the following questions:


1. Which country would you like to go to? Why?
2. What do you know about it?
3. What would you like to do there?
4. Would you like to study / work / live there? Explain.
5. Upload pictures



Don't forget that:
1. You have to leave comments on 3 of your classmates' posts and another on mine too.
2. Your text should have no less than 160 words.

Heart of language and culture

It's hard to believe that a teacher of English has never been to an English speaking country. Well, I'm a teacher of English who's never travelled abroad, but who's always wanted to visit England. 

I’d like to visit it because England is the birthplace of English. Believe it or not, the English that people speak there today is quite different from the English that was spoken long ago. If you were to read Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the first bestseller in the English language, someone would have to explain to you what many words mean.

Another important reason why I'd like to visit it is because I consider this country's contributions to literature and music important. It's hard to imagine what my teenage years would have been like without J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, or English performers such as The Beatles.

If I go there someday, the first thing I’ll do is to explore London, since this city is full of monuments, historic buildings and other interesting sights such as The Tower of London.
Second, I’ll travel around the country and visit other remarkable places like Stonehenge, Britain's most famous prehistoric monument, or the Cotswolds, a popular tourist area, famous for its beautiful scenery and pretty towns. I’d love to stay there for a long time, maybe a year, so that I could meet people and know more about their culture.

Well, I hope that one day my dream and also yours come true.

Write no less than  230 words . When I was at university, I studied Spanish-French-English translation at my beloved faculty of Humanities and Art at my beloved alma matter, the University of Concepcion.

I wouldn't know how to define the architectural style that this faculty has, but...
