Book Review 2-5 New York

What do you imagine with the word “New York”?The megalopolis? Center of the business? The place of dispatch of brand new fashion and music? And, the center of all over the world?
More than twenty million people visit NY every year. When visitors think about NY they usually think about Manhattan- island 21.5 kilometers long and 3.7 kilometers wide. The city has 10000 kilometers of street and seven million or more people live there.
In the beginning of NY, Manhattan island was the home of Algonquin Indians. In 1609, Dutch explorer Henry Hudson came up to there. Today, the river in NY is called Hudson River. In 1626, Dutch man came to Manhattan, and he paid money for Indians to buy the island. He built some houses and called little town “New Amsterdam”.
But in 1664, the British took the town from the Dutch and they changed its name to New York. In 1790, millions or more people came to America from all over the world though already about 33000 people were living.
There are lots of things to see in Ney York. There are much traffic equipments like subway, bus, ferry, and cabs. These are very convenient and make easy for visitors to get to the different parts of the city.
At it different parts, are Chinatown, little Italy, green witch village, central park, and Coney island. And more interesting, I found attractive phrase that “if you want to look at the building, in NY, look up!” the city is full of skyscraper! These are very wonderful and very modern. For example, Empire state building, the United Nations Building, in Manhattan, and Statue of Liberty in Liberty island. Unfortunately, The World trade center was broke down by terrorist in 2001.
And NY has many entertainments. For example, we can enjoy theater, ballet, musical, band every night on the week. On week end night, we can watch an exciting sports game like base ball, basket ball.
NY has many attractive points and these always fascinate us. I want to visit there and enjoy the life style of megalopolis someday!
Home Alone 2 lost in Ney York was my first time to know about the NY. It was when I was 8 years old.Kevin explores many sight seeing spots in NY! I remember that I was so shocked how big and modern and I was glued to the movie! (400words)
