Description of a Touristic Place

In our language class, we learned how to write a description of a place. After this we wrote in pairs a description of a touristic place. I worked with Ramiro Aizpiri and we wrote a description of the Iglesia del Pilar. Then, with our literature teacher we wrote a poem about that touristic place we have choosen.

This is our work:

Poem

Iglesia de Pilar

White as the snow, bright as the sun

the marvelous Del pilar church stands on

so special, so calm

that when you enter you feel warm

At the moment you enter

you feel like home

you purify yourself

you feel god

A place to show yourself,

somewhere to cry

to show your problems

without being judge.
