OTTAWA, BY ROSA BUITRAGO (1 BACH. C)
Ottawa is de capital of Canada, it is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country. It is really multicultural and it has many historic sites.
Ottawa borders with Gatineau, Québec, and together they form the National Capital Region (NCR). When you walk aroud the city you can see how clean it is; actually, it is the second cleanest city in Canada and the third in the world. It is known for its ancient Parliament Buildings, the luxurious Château Laurier, the crowed Byward Market and the amazing National Gallery. It also offers many stylish boutques, well-known museums, theaters, fascinating galleries, cafes, local bars and nightclubs.
In conclusion, Ottawa is a good and peaceful city to live. It is not as polluted and crowed as others and I really liked it. You should go!
CHICAGO, BY MARINA MARTÍN (1 BACH. C)
In October 2012, I went to Chicago, also known as the windy city. It’s in the east of the United States and it’s the biggest city in Illinois, where three million people live.
The center of Chicago offers a lot of amazing skyscrapers, one, that is very well known, is the Willis Tower because is the tallest building. In this part of Chicago you can also see ancient museums, like the museum of contemporany art or the museum of history, a lot of parks like the remarkable Millenium park where there is the fascinating monument called “the bean” because it looks like a big bean. A popular tourist attraction is riding a boat by the Chicago river, it’s amazing because the views are beautiful and you can see the sky line. In Chicago there are a lot of malls where you can go shopping or eat something.
Chicago is a very clean city, with not too much pollution, because most of the citizens go to work by train, because it’s very cheap and fast. A lot of people choose the bycicle to move around because it doesn’t pollute and you can enjoy the views.
I like Chicago, I think it’s the best place in the United States to visit because there are a lot of trendy and amazing buildings like in New York but it isn’t as polluted and crowded as New York.
