    You have the opportunity to visit a foreign country for two weeks. Which country would you
    like to visit? Use specfic reasons and details to explain your choice..

    There are many reasons why traveling broadens our mind and perspective of the world. In
    my opinion, as an Argentinian citizen, visiting Spain can be a life-changing experience. I
    feel this way for two reasons, which i will explore in the following paragraphs.

    Firstly, it will provide me with useful knowledge to understand better the traditions and
    history of my country. Before becoming an independant country, Argentina was under
    Spanish command. Therefore, many of our customs and traditions originally belong to their
    culture. For instance, the music we listen to, as well as the language we use, and the
    dishes we eat, are proof of the Spanish legacy. My own experience is a compelling
    example of that. My mother usually cooks delicious, savory meals like paella or gazpacho
    which are typical in the hispanic couisine. Thus, exploring such a country would allow me
    to embrace and appreciate more our local traditions since i will associate them with their
    context and the places visited. Moreover, it will transform the way i think our historical
    background is.

    Secondly, as many argentinians are descendants of hispanic inmigrants i will find my real
    identity. When we became a Spanish colony, we lacked of enough natives to work and live
    in the vast territory. In consequence, many people traveled overseas in hope of a better
    future since there were many job opportunities. For instance, my father happened to be
    son of a Spanish salesman who emigrated to Argentina to start a new business. So, when
    i was younger, he would tell me stories about his mother country. He described to me the
    places he frequented as a child, the neighbourhood in which he lived, and the school he
    attended. As a result of listening to his childhood tales, i became fascinated with Spains
    history and decided i would travel there in the future to learn more about my heritage. After
    doing research, i found out that the house he lived at still exists but his school was shut
    down. For this reason, i strongly believe visiting Spain can be a worthwhile experience.

    In conclusion, i firmly believe that traveling to Spain can be a unique life time experience
    which will deeply help me grow. This is because it will not only make me understand who i
    am and were i come from, by investigating my linage and roots, but it will also allow me to
    cherish Argentinas history and culture.
