presentation. There are THREE options for you to choose:

37
 History of the city.
 Tourist attractions in the city.
 Famous citizens of the city.
I have to make a presentation about a famous city, I think my emphasis will be put on the
tourist attractions of the city because it seems that this is the information that most
listeners want to know. People are usually interested in the beautiful places in a city so
that they can come when they have time.
The history of the city is also important as it provides people with the knowledge that
they may know little about, but it should be brief as history is not always interesting.
I don’t choose Famous citizens of the city Because I don't think it's appropriate,
sometimes people who are famous for me are not special to them.
In conclusion I choose famous city because I feel this fits my interests and personality
very well.
