Unit 9: Exercise 6
Read an email about a visit to New York. Choose True or False.

Hi, Max!

We arrived safely last week. Our hotel is in the centre of the city, near most of the tourist
sites. On our first day, we went on a trip round the city on a tourist bus. It was fantastic!
We’ve already been to Central Park and taken a boat trip on the river. We’ve also visited the
Statue of Liberty. This morning, we went to the zoo in Central Park. It’s quite small and
doesn’t have many big animals. There are no lions, tigers or elephants, but it’s really
beautiful and has really good views of Manhattan.  

Have you ever been to New York? Have you read anything about the history of the city?
Have you heard about other interesting places to visit in New York?  

I’ll write again before we leave.

Read the email. Choose the correct endings for the sentences.

Hi, Sara!

I’ve just gone online and read your email. Thanks! It was good to hear from you. Your first
holiday in New York sounds fantastic. As you know, I’ve been to America several times, but
I’ve never visited New York City. I’ve usually spent time further north in some towns on a
big river near Canada. I’ve also sailed in a small boat across one of the Great Lakes into
Canada. That was really exciting.  

I’ve seen TV programmes about Central Park, but I didn’t know there was a zoo in the park.
I’ve also seen lots of photos of the Statue of Liberty and I’ve read a lot about its history as
well. I think it was a present to the American people from France. Am I right?  

Have you eaten many American beef burgers yet and have you drunk any real cola? I think
they are both so much better than what we can buy here. Or am I dreaming?  

Bye for now,

Max
