Once, this semester (2019-1), I was teaching a lesson to my sixth-semester-of-English students at UASD, San Francisco de Macorís, Dominican Republic. That lesson was related to places somehow. As a strategy,I prompted my students to quick write about a city or town they like. We quick wrote, shared our first drafts, and gave feedback to one another. Since I noticed that they had written very good paragraphs, I asked them to send their paragraphs to my e-mail. They did. I liked all of them and decided to share two of them with you all. We would appreciate if you shared a comment with us. Which aspect pointed out by Nikaury about Las Terrenas called your attention the most? Imagine you are visiting Punta Cana, what nightlife activity shared by Hellen in her paragraph about Punta Cana would you do?
Las Terrenas
By Nikaury Ortega
Las Terrenas is
a small town located in Samaná, in the northeastern part of the Dominican
Republic. In spite of being a small town, there are many things you can do in
order to have fun and also experience an unforgettable vacation. Las Terrenas
is well known for its marvelous touristic places. It has the most beautiful
white sand beaches you can find, and there are many luxurious hotels where
comfort is the priority. During the day, you can go around the town riding
special four-wheels; moreover, there are many stalls where you can get
souvenirs, which you can use to represent our country or remember your time in
Las Terrenas. When it comes to foods, there´s no need to be worried. You will
be astonished by the variety of restaurants. You can find Mexican, Italian,
Chinese restaurants, and so on. People who visit those restaurants have the
amazing opportunity to taste foods originally from other countries. Besides,
you have the chance to meet people from
everywhere. Many tourists visit Las Terrenas. It is a perfect opportunity to
get to know more about different cultures, which is good because it helps you
to discover more about your own culture. On the other hand, talking about
nightlife is not less important but interesting. There are many discos you can
visit around the town, on the seashore, or near any hotel you are staying in. To
sum up, you will have a perfect time. I´ve been there, and I’m looking forward
to the summer to go to Las Terrenas again and have another amazing experience.
PUNTA CANA
By Hellen Recio
Punta Cana is one of my favorite places in the
Dominican Republic. It has many beautiful beaches where you can find a lot of
tourists from many countries around the world. Also, there are many excursions
where you can enjoy and learn about marine life. Its hotels are amazing, one of
my favorite is Barceló premium Punta Can, but there are a lot others that are
very good, too. Nightlife in Punta Cana is interesting because, believe or not,
for tourists it’s very expensive, but for local people it’s not expensive at
all. There’s a good and famous Disco which is located in San Juan mall and it’s
one of the most popular attractions there. In conclusion, I think Punta Cana
has it all and it’s good for us as local people and for tourist, too.
