Read the advice below. Think how you write letters.
Are any of your ideas mentioned there?
When we write a letter about a famous sight, we can divide it into four parts (in addition to the opening and closing).
The first part includes the name of the place, where it is located and what it looks like.
In the second part, we write about the history of this place.
In the third part, we describe what visitors can see and do there.
In the last part, we recommend a visit to this place.
Present tenses are usually used to describe this sight and past tenses are used to write about historical facts.
The passive voice is also often used in this type of descriptions.
