Querida Eva:
?
¡Fue un viaje estupendo! Primero fui a Buenos Aires y estuve sola allí cuatro días. Pude ir de compras a los grandes centros comerciales como Alto Palermo y Galerías Pacífico, donde también me sentaba a tomar un café por las tardes y leía o escribía mensajes de texto. Me encanta la vida en las grandes ciudades.
?
Días después, Rafael también vino a Buenos Aires y nosotros hicimos varias cosas juntos. Fuimos a los clubes de tango y miramos cómo bailaba la gente. Nosotros también lo intentamos, ¡pero es muy difícil!
?
Después, fuimos a Mendoza. Tú dijiste que tu madre nació allí, ¿verdad? Estuvimos tres días en Mendoza y yo le di una sorpresa a Rafael. Hice reservaciones para ir a Bariloche a esquiar. Rafael no supo de mis planes hasta la última noche en Mendoza. Esa noche le di los boletos de avión pero, ¿sabes qué? ¡Rafael no quería ir! Lo discutimos por bastante tiempo y por fin yo supe por qué.
?
Rafael me dijo que él también tenía una sorpresa para mí. ¡Me dio boletos a Iguazú, para ver las cataratas (waterfalls)! Pues, al final, ¡tuvimos que ir a los dos lugares! Nos divertimos mucho. Volvimos aquí ayer, cansados pero muy contentos.
?
Bueno, te puedo contar más en otro correo electrónico.
?
Un beso,
Bea

In the past, the activities of political parties often had a very direct effect on citizen's everyday lives. In the 1930s, for example, strong party machines dominated local politics in many large cities. In some cities, such as Chicago, the party machine was almost omnipresent. Had you been living in such a city, the party machine would have affected your everyday life. Party machines then
bestowed government contracts on loyal supporters. The machines often helped the poor and the unfortunate with gifts of food and clothing (particularly before an election). Today, there are no real party machines. Nonetheless, political parties do affect your everyday life, if more indirectly. Consider that whichever party has the most members in Congress dominates that institution. Congressional leaders and committee chairs come from the dominant political party. Thus, a particular political party's success can often lead to new laws and regulations that affect your daily life. You may have to pay higher or lower taxes, face more or fewer employment opportunities, or experience changes in the social environment around you. Suppose, for example, that you live in a city with a relatively high and rising crime rate. If a political party that wants to spend more government resources on crime reduction wins a majority in Congress, your everyday life could be significantly affected. Similarly, political parties play important roles in state legislatures and governorships. A state legislature controlled by Democrats will create and implement different policies than a legislature controlled by Republicans, and vice versa. These policies could affect the amount of tuition you pay, the amount of state taxes that are withheld from your paycheck, the speed limit on your state's highways, the job opportunities available to you, and so on. What is the overall organizational pattern of the second paragraph? a. cause and effect b. listing c. classifying d. contrast
