Serge: Ehm… Where are we now? Jacob: This is the famous Brooklyn bridge. Serge: Wow! What a fantastic view of Manhattan. Oh, and there’s the Statue of Liberty
Jacob: I suppose you know that the statue was a present from France to the USA. Serge: Of course I know that. Jacob: Well, let’s go back to Manhattan. We can go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are two million works of art in its permanent collection! Serge: Perhaps we can go there tomorrow. Is there a place where we can sit and have a snack?
Jacob: We can go to Greenwich Village.
Serge: Greenwich Village?
Jacob: Yes. It’s a cool place. Lots of famous artists, writers and musicians lived there. There are lots of great shops, restaurants, art galleries and cafes.
Serge: Let’s go there. What about going for a walk in Central Park tomorrow after the museum?
Jacob: Fantastic! And sometimes there are free concerts and Shakespeare plays in the park too.
Serge: I don’t think that’s a great idea after the museum. I’d prefer to watch the dog walkers.
Jacob: OK. I see you don’t want to do too much. But I’m going to take you to the Empire State Building one day. We can visit the glass observatory on the 86th floor for a great view of New York… without the hard work!

Suggested answer: Hi Steven, In July my family and I are going on holiday to New York. We’re going there because it’s one of the largest and most important cities in the world. New York has some very important museums like the Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s also the place where immigrants arrived, so we want to visit Little Italy and Chinatown. My dad is a jazz musician so he wants to go a jazz club in Harlem. Mum wants to visit Times Square in the evening because all the shops, hotels and cinemas have bright signs. I want to see the 9/11 Memorial where the two hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Towers. We also want to visit the Statue of Liberty and go to Central Park. In Central Park there are lakes, iceskating rinks and a zoo. There are cyclists, joggers and rollerbladers too. I’m going to go rollerblading. We’re also going to see the John Lennon Memorial. He lived opposite the park and he died in front of his house. It’s going to be a fantastic holiday for all the family. Write soon, Marco
national parks
Grand Canyon: tratto del fiume Colorado, che, nel corso dei millenni, ha contribuito con i sui detriti a costruire l’immenso altopiano chiamato Colorado Plateau, che si estende in 5 Stati americani: Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico e la parte meridionale del Colorado. Yellowstone National Park: il nome ‘pietra gialla’ deriva dai fenomeni vulcanici attiv; la pietra gialla è dovuto allo zolfo presente nella zona. Il parco è famoso anche per i numerosi geyser. Everglades: vasta regione subtropicale e paludosa dell’estremo sud della Florida, per la maggior parte inaccessibile all’uomo. All’arrivo degli Spagnoli, a metà del 1500, la zona era abitata dai nativi Seminole, ma con l’arrivo degli Europei, gli Indiani americani furono confinati in riserve e i loro territori vennero bonificati, per essere trasformati in terreni agricoli. Nel 1947, il Presidente Truman decise di tutelare una vasta area del parco, istituendo l’Everglades National Park.

Mount Rushmore, in the Black Hills in South Dakota, is the greatest mountain sculpture in the world. It was created by the American sculptor Gutzon Borglum. The four presidents were chosen because of their roles in the first 150 years of American history. George Washington was the first president and represents America’s independence; Thomas Jefferson represents the idea of government led by people; Abraham Lincoln was responsible for the union of the states and the abolition of slavery and Theodore Roosevelt was responsible for the completion of the Panama Canal. Borglum made models of the heads of the presidents and marked the measurements on the mountain. Miners, not artists, had to make the sculptures because Mount Rushmore is made of granite. Dynamite was used for the basic shapes; then drills and chisels for the final details. 400 men worked on the sculptures from 1927 to 1941. The work cost 1 million dollars. The presidents’ faces are 18.3 metres high, the noses are 6.1 metres long and the mouths are 5.5 metres wide.
