Select an interesting Spanish-speaking country and plan a tour. Make use of the Internet for gathering your travel information,
such as food and lodging, places of interest, and other relevant information. Then answer the following questions in Spanish: Which websites did you visit to gather the information? Why would you like to visit that country? What would you like to do there? What do you know about the place and its tourist attractions? Do you know anyone who has been there? What opinion does he or she have of that country? (You can do it in spanish or in english)
1. To provide reputable websites with accurate information, you can go to encyclopedia.com, nationalgeographic.com, britannica.com, etc. (don't simply default to Wikipedia, as it's not always a reliable source).
2. You can talk about wanting to visit Argentina due to their unique language. Although the country speaks Spanish, the dialect is rather different. The "ll" sound, instead of being pronounced as "y," is actually pronounced as "sh" or "j." This means that "me llamo" is pronounced as "me sha-mo" instead of "me ya-mo."
3. Since Argentina is a large country with many different landscapes, you can talk about wanting to see such diverse geography. For example, there are huge salt flats in the north, a cosmopolitan city (Buenos Aires) as you go further down, and finally a region called Patagonia, which has incredible hiking views and even glaciers, as you continue going down the country.
4. The tourist attractions are similar to the answers in number 3, because it is possible to go on excursions in the salt flats and the glaciers. Additionally, Buenos Aires itself, as the capital of the country, has several tourist attractions, including soccer games, flea markets, etc.
5. This answer will actually depend on whether or not you know anyone who has been to Argentina. It is not the most popular vacation spot, but is gaining popularity within the tourist industry.
6. Again, this will depend on whether or not you know anyone who has been to Argentina. In general, Argentina gives off a very European impression, although it is in Latin America. The people are very proud of their European descent, as there is much Italian and German ancestry among these people.
A topic sentence is a sentence that includes the main idea of the paragraph. It is a sentence that is usually found in the beginning of a paragraph, although not always. It is the sentence that states what the main idea of that particular paragraph is, and then the paragraph is there to support this sentence, not the other way round.
