BR 2-30: NEW YORK

1. The Big Apple

New York - The Big Apple. The history of the city and some of the things you can see and do there today.

     I read NEW YORK. It was written by John Escott. This book is written about New York. New York often called 'The Big Apple'. Because, in the 1920s and 1930s, lazz musicians all wanted to work in New York. 'There are a lot of apples on the tree,' they said, 'but when you take New York City, you take The Big Apple!'
     More than twenty million people visit New York every year. Most of people say it is the most exciting city in the world. I think New York is the center of the world. But I haven't been to there. I want to go New York! (142 words / 10,307 words)
