​Find the "opinion"

Sophisticated travellers visit museums. Forget beautiful parks, and trendy cafés – what tourists really want, you’re told by the tour guide, is to spend an ‘unforgettable hour’ inside the city’s thrill-a-minute Pencil Museum. Apparently, it hosts drawing workshops for families and the biggest pencil collection in the world ... can’t wait.

Hi mum,

​

Only sophisticated turists go to museums. No body really wants to go and the only reason people go is because tour guides tell you its unforgetable. It's well boring. They tell you there's loads of stuff to do but I never want to go. Bye.

​My improvement

Hi Mum,

​

Only cultured tourists go to museums. No body really has the desire to go and the only reason some visitors visit them is because more often than not, they are bribed by tour guides who market the experience as once-in-a-lifetime. However, it's tediuos. They tell you there's a plethora of activities but I don't see the appeal.

​

Lots of love,
