En Oxford hay muchos monumentos que atraen a turistas de todo el mundo. No es la torre sajona que abre a las diez y cierra a las cinco. No es la torre de Carfax, que abre a las diez y cierra a las cinco y media. Existe la biblioteca Bodleian, que es la biblioteca más grande de oxford, se abre a las once de un reloj y cierra a las cuatro. No es la Universidad de Santa María la Virgen, que es una de las mejores universidades del mundo. Los jardines botánicos también son famosos en oxford y atraen a una gran cantidad de turistas cada año. No cambiaría nada en oxford ya que es perfecto tal como es. Para mejorar el entorno en el oxford me aseguraría de que hay más coches eléctricos y más personas que utilizan el autobús, que ayuda al medio ambiente. En mi ciudad haré más clubes deportivos para que la gente esté sana espacilly la generación más joven.

In oxford there are many monuments that attract tourist from all over the world. There is the Saxon tower which opens at ten o’clock and closes at five. There is the carfax tower which opens at ten and closes at five thirty. There is the Bodleian library which is the biggest library in oxford, it opens at eleven a clock and closes at four. There is the University of St Mary the virgin which is one of the best universities in the world. The botanic gardens are also famous in oxford and attract a lot of tourist every year. I would not change anything in oxford as it is perfect the way it is. To improve the environment in oxford I would make sure there are more electric cars and more people using the bus which helps the environment. In my city I will make more sports clubs to make sure people are healthy espacilly the younger generation.

In English: Oxford - always capitalized, you have "a clock" once for "o'clock", St. Mary the Virgen, maybe "Botanic Gardens". and "especially". - Jubilado, Sep 29, 2013

To start with one suggestion would be that 'no es' can't be translated as 'there is'.

Also, gardens are usually referred to as 'botanical' rather than 'botanic'.

My suggestions for Spanish (I am not a native speaker however - JulianChivi and Chileno are)

No es la torre sajona que abre a las diez y cierra a las cinco. No es la torre de Carfax, que abre a las diez y cierra a las cinco y media.

Uno es la Torre Sajona que.... Hay otro, la Torre de Carfax que....

No es la Universidad de Santa María la Virgen, que es una de las...

Hay también la Unversidad de Santa María la Virgin....

Oxford (all usages), Jardines Botánicos, especialmente.
