For years the Italian city of Venice has been struggling with a few concernsSaint Mark's Square is often floodedVenice's waterways require repairsBut by far the biggest problem is the rapidly growing number of visitors to the city
So city officials have decided to require all visitors to pay a fee to enter VeniceThe money will help to pay for cleaning and other services that help to keep the city beautiful
Venice's Mayor Luigi Brugnaro explained the decision to international media during a visit to Rome last weekVenice is a wonder of the world and only in this way can it be saved the mayor saidThe fee process will be experimental at first he added
A oneday visit will cost about 7City officials have yet to decide when the fee collection will beginThe money will be collected by transport companies that bring the tourists to VeniceThe city will set up cameras for those arriving in private carsAnd there will be fines for those who do not pay the feeStudents some workers and children under the age of six will not have to payNaturally anyone born or living in Venice is exempt
City officials hope this will prevent the overcrowding that often comes with large numbers of touristsSome people living in Venice say they do not believe the fee plan will workLawyer Roberta Pierabon says it will be impossible to collect the money from everyone who visits the cityVisitors arrive from all sidesShe does not believe tourists can be controlled and adds that she disapproves of the planOther Venetians like the ideaThey say it will make tourism less aggressiveVenetians love their city and know it will never stop appealing to visitorsVenice is so special they say that it belongs to the whole of humanity

My sister Priscilla and I just came back from a weeklong vacation in Portugal with lots of photosI'll remember so many wonderful things about my trip to the cities of Lisbon and Porto but one experience in particular sticks out something that happened on our last night in Lisbon
Before the trip I put together a very detailed route of places to seeOne of the mustvisit places on my list was Livraria do Simao the smallest bookstore in LisbonOn our very first day in Lisbon Priscilla and I searched for itWe found the oldest bookstore in the worldBut the smallest one was impossible to find Back at the hotel where we had WiFi I looked the bookstore up again hoping we'd have time to find it on another dayBut our schedule was delayed and we probably wouldn't have time to look for it
On our last full day in Lisbon Priscilla and I took a day trip to Cascais a coastal town outside the cityWe decided at the last minute to visit a historic flea market (跳蚤市场).We walked for about an hour up many steep hillsWhen we finally reached the market completely out of breath all the sellers were closing up shopNot to mention that we were both tired and hungryPriscilla and I argued over the directionsI insisted we turn right which ended up being another bad decisionWe climbed up more steep hills farther and farther away from any area we recognizedWe made another right turn onto a random street and Priscilla stopped to check the map Meanwhile I looked up at the street sign Rua da MadalenaI'd heard that name beforeWe continued a little farther up the street and I spotted a few people hanging out in a laneThere was something particularly familiar about the sceneI looked closerThere was a small store practically hidden in the laneIt had books in its windows
答案
Paragraph 1:
Oh my goodness The bookstore The very one Priscilla and I had so badly wanted to find on our very first dayWe took lots of photos of it in amazementOur delight must have been noticeable because one of the guys standing outside the store started telling me that it's the smallest bookstore in this city Not until he led us inside the bookstore did we know that he was the owner of the bookstoreInside this small store we became so addicted to the books that we completely forgot we were tired and hungry
Paragraph 2:
Soon it was time for us to say goodbye After waving the owner goodbye Priscilla and I tore ourselves away from the bookstoreOn our way back I couldn't stop smilingWe had just visited the smallest bookstore in Lisbon met the owner and taken a tour inside I couldn't get over all the little things that had come together to lead us thereIf we hadn't decided to visit the flea market at the last minute if I hadn't insisted we turn rightThat moment in Lisbon was a beautiful coincidence to me
