SA: Well, in the first place, it’s important to
explain why the building or the place is
interesting, isn’t it?
SB: Of course, so you would have to say how
old it is and also include some of the history of
the place.
SA: Yes, I agree. In my opinion, you should also
explain the purpose of the building or place,
who built it and why.
SB: People will need to know how to get there
as well, and how much it will cost them to visit.

17. 8 p 77

SA: Yes, we should include that information. I
don’t think that we need to say whether we
like it or not, but we should mention how
popular it is.
SB: Definitely, people like to go to well-known
places.
SA: And if it is a place that is being
threatened by something, like development, or
it needs repairing, we should mention that
because then maybe the visitors will donate
some money to help.
SB: Yes, that’s a good idea.
