26. TOURIST ATTRACTIONS
Many people choose to visit cities to enjoy the culture associated with museums, art galleries, architecture or shops and restaurants. Cities such as London, Rome and Paris have a huge amount to offer tourists of every age. The natural landscape is also a major ‘pull’ for tourists, particularly mountains such as the Alps or beautiful stretches of coastline.
Physical or natural attractions are natural attractions such as beaches, climate, sea, mountains and rivers etc.
Human or man made attractions are built or constructed by humans such as castles (heritage), churches (cultural), theme parks etc.

27. ANNOTATING PHOTOS
Photos can be labelled directly with arrows to point out the features. The labels need to be detailed. Keep what you write clear, straight forward and to the point.
You need to be able to annotate and point out the physical and human attractions
