chiiko-style: BR 2-31: NEW YORK

New York - The Big Apple. The history of the city and some of the things you can see and do there today – the skyscrapers and the subway, the shops and the sports, the museums and the restaurants – and the people themselves. All the things that make New York the most exciting city in the world!

New York is a book in the Factfiles subseries of Oxford Bookworms. Factfiles is a nonfiction subseries, as you may know.This book has nine chapters, The Big Apple, In the beginning, Visiting the city, Some places to go, Looking up!, Shopping and eating, Entertainment, We love parade, New York and New Yorkers.

The chapter that appealed to me the most was Chapter 9: New York and New Yorkers. This chapter is written about things that we have to remember about New York. For example; Don’t carry a lot of money with you; Don’t travel on the subway alone at night; New York can be very hot in the middle of summer and very cold in the middle of winter. And my images of New York are New Yorkers look like always busy and many cars and buses stop and start.

Next, I would like to write about chapter 6; Shopping and eating. Girls must like shopping and eating. Fifth Avenue has some of the biggest names – Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Lord and Taylor, Gucci. Other famous shops are Bloomingdales on third Avenue and 57^th Street, and Macy’s on Broadway and 34^th Street. And in New York, there are lots of fast food shops to buy something to eat quickly. For example, pretzels, hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches. I want to eat a big hamburger in New York.

The end of this book, there is a picture of map of New York. You can see the shape of New York and you can know the name of cities and where is it.
