Discuss these questions in a comment.
- Look at the picture (click to enlarge it). Do you know where it is? What makes it special?
- What do you like or dislike about the way it is designed?
- Think of three other famous buildings or structures from around the world that you feel are well-designed. What makes them interesting or beautiful?
- Choose a famous building or structure from your country (just one). What do you like about its design? What do you dislike?

Write for readers who have not seen the questions you are responding to. As always, you can address them in any order, writing as little or as much you need to in two or three paragraphs of response writing.
