Hi, everybody

I would be very grateful if you would correct this article and tell me what writing grade do you think I would have with it. (I'm going to do the FCE).

Write an article of between 120 and 180 words about a newly constructed modern building. Write in an appropiate style.

BARCELONA'S MODERN BUILDING

If you are a tourist who is visiting Barcelona for the first time or a bit of time has gone by since you came and you are interested in modern building you must visit the Agbar tower.

It is next to Glòries square, in the most modern zone of Barcelona, the new district called 22@. This is a zone destinated to place the headquarters of companies involved into technologic and scientific business.

It is a cilindric tower that is lighted at night thanks to some different coloured LED's. It has also got s decorating water system, that is because the company which required to build the tower has got business related to waters treatment.

I think most people like the tower, it is a sign of modernity of the city and its people, but they think that its form is a bit obscene.

If you ever come to Barcelona, the Agbar tower is a site that you must visit.

Thanks

jordi

More comments are welcome.

I don't know how these tests are graded so I couldn't say.
