Promoting my country

I think it’s worth visiting Chile. I’m not saying this just because I’m Chilean and I’m proud of my country, I really mean it because it’s a privilege when you have different weather conditions and different landscapes in the same country. After a rainy day, you can see the Andes Mountain range if you take a look  at the East.  There are wonderful lakes, forests, volcanoes and waterfalls in the South.  You can see the Atacama Desert and geysers in the North and you can enjoy historical places in Santiago the Capital city.  Don’t forget the Ester Island which is part of Chile too, although it is not in South America.
If you want to taste Chilean wine, you won’t regret it because our weather has been a conspirator so our wineries are able to produce one of the tastier wines in the world.

I could mention a lot of places and cities you should visit here, but I think that you should come to Chile, meet Chilean people, talk to them, I’m sure they will be very kind, they will recommend you some places to visit and they will probably invite you to a relative’s house in the North or in the South. Just come here, and you’ll see. (206 words)

A COUNTRY I'D LIKE TO VISIT

There are many places I would like to visit for different reasons, but when I think about a dream vacation, I would like to visit Jamaica. I would like to go there because I’m interested in countries around the Caribbean Sea, but I’m especially interested in Jamaica because I enjoy reggae music and I dream about being in a beach club, listening to live music and dancing barefoot.
I would like to go sightseeing by myself, I mean, I don’t like the idea of taking a bus tour, I’d prefer to rent a bike and visit different places like museums, traditional market places, visit the countryside, meet local people, etc.

I don’t know too much about Jamaica; I watched a documentary about Bob Marley once, and I learned about Rastafarians, I know marijuana is not legal there (contrary to what many people think) and I also know that Jamaica is not a paradise because there is a lot of violence and crime in some cities.  Despite of that, I would like to go there because the scenery must be wonderful.  (180 words)
