New York Prepared by student of class 10 Golovko Ksenia

New York is one the largest cities in the world. Its population is over 11 million people. New York is an industrial and cultural of the country.

Most business is centred in Manhattan Island.

The whole area is very small, that's why the sky-scrapers were invented in New York and, especially, in Wall Street.

Wall Street is a narrow street with big houses, but it is well known all over the world as the busiest street in the USA. People do business there.

There are two more world-famous streets Broadway and Fifth Avenue. Broadway is the centre of the theatres and night life. It is known as The Great White Way because of the electric signs which turn night into day.

It is the city that never goes to sleep. Buses and sub- way run all night. There are many drugstores and restaurants which never close their doors. There are cinemas with films that start at midnight. Fifth Avenue is the great shopping, hotel, and club avenue.

New York is the largest port in America. More than half the trade of the United States goes through this city.

There are many places of interest in New York. They are: the Statue of Liberty

The United Nations Building

Empire State Building

Columbia University

Citi Hall

New York Public Library and others.

When you come to New York you see lots of cars, big and small, black and yellow, old and new, you do not see any trees or flowers in the streets, but only cars. You'll see and hear advertisements everywhere. There is no getting away from them.

Advertisements fill the newspapers and cover the walls, they are on menu-cards and match-boxes, they are shouted through loud speakers and shown in the cinemas.

Thank you for your attention!
