(Essay) Is it a good thing that countries spend a lot of money on preserving their heritage?
Today, Nowadays the vast majority of countries spend a lot of money to maintaining their cultural and historic architectural (?) heritage. However, there is a growing concern among citizens as towhether or not it the financial outlay is justified.
In the first place, all the countries are supposed to preserve their heritage in spite of the important significant cost that implies involves. What is more, Moreover, the budget for this issue purpose in some countries, like ours, is almost the same of as that for research and development. But for a charming tourist country like ours it is of vital importance to preserve our heritage.
Whereas Although the importance of preservation of heritage is indisputable, some people are rethinking about the possibility of transferring responsibilities to local councils. After all, developing tourism is the main reason for preserving heritage and this expenditure is carried out much of the cost in the cities is met by tourists. Consequently, they must be local municipalities whose are should have responsibility for the preservation of their own local heritage.
In short, the importance of heritage preservation of heritage is beyond doubt. The question is: who which sector should be the right administration to face the bill bear the cost?.0 votedJuly 5, 20181It was a sad day today.
As I mentioned in another (previous would be better) entry here, I'm not into soccer but when it has comes to do with the World Cup I really enjoy the games and in the contest for the cup.
Today Colombia played againt England. Before the game I was so nervous and anxious (or nervous but not both as the meaning here is the same) It's incredible how a simple game can touch all your evoke such strong feelings. The game was dramatic. It seemed that it was never going to end. One of our players made a fouled England's the best player of England and the referee mark out a foul, called it, so England had was awarded a penalty to its favor. The same player who had been fouled kicked the ball and it was scored a goal, England 1- Colombia 0. The match in general wasn't very good. Both teams defend their field a lot played very defensively and the game was kind of quite dirty, Both teams played crudely. When everything seemed lost our stair star from Barcelona F.C., scored for us in the last 5 minutes of the game.
With the game drawn, they teams had to play the extra time until they the game eventually went to the a penalty series. shoot-out. At By that point I had already suffered a lot. The penalties came and at the end The Colombian players didn't take advantage that of England's failed first miss on goal and they erred ended up missing two shoots shots on goal themselves

1. That's just (exactly) what I wanted
2. My team just won = my team won by a very small margin (also, depending on the context, my team won its match only a short while ago)
That car just missed hitting me (by a small margin)

Subject:Hello!!
Hi Anabel.
Please excuse me for not writing sooner, but we had a flood in our house and we have been busy cleaning up everything -
furnitures, walls, the garden, etc. We were not expecting a flood in the summer and we were caught totally off guard. I had to stop going to university clases because of the cleaning and I will probably have problems passing next week"s exams. Wish me luck!
But,what about you?, Are you and your family doing well?. Although we had a flood,at least we are in good health and we are doing well in our lives. My sister just got a promotion in her job a few days ago and now she is extremelyr happy, ordering people about at work. Also, i think she is becoming quite bossy in our house!. My parents are doing well, although they spend all day watching about looking up information about flood insurances on the internet.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Adrian.

It's the first time that I am writing here so please feel free to correct me. Thank you.0 votedJune 13, 20180
