People often call New York 'The Big Apple'. Why? In the 1920s and 1930s, jazz 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!' Yes, everybody wanted some of The Big Apple- and they want some today, too!
New York is a book in the Oxford Bookworms series. It's in the Facfiles sub-series, the nonfiction counterpart of the Oxford Bookworms Library. It's a Stage 1 book. The book is divided into nine chapters: The Big Apple, In the beginning, Visiting the city, Some places to go, Looking up!, Shopsping and eating, Entertainment, We love parade!, and New York and New Yorkers. These nine chapters are followed by a map and as with other Facfiles books, some exercises and a glossary.
The book as a whole has 17 pages, and each chapter comprises about 2 pages. The language, as one would expect with a Stage 1 book, is very simple. For example, the 14 sentences on page 12 have the following lengths (number of words): 10, 13, 10, 14, 22, 15, 11, 9, 10, 15, 7, 8, 21, and 17. This yields a mean of 16.4 words per sentence.
The chapters that appealed to me the most are Chapter 4: Some places to go and Chapter 7: Entertainment. The bulk of this review will be devoted to these two chapters.
If you can go to New York you enjoy Chinatown, Little Italy and so on. New York has a lot of places to go. So more than twenty milllion people visit New York every year. There are beach, aquarium, park, roller coaster and so on!
And then New York has a lot of entertainments. For example theeatre, ballet, tennis center, baseball stadium and so on! You can enjoy these entertainments. 313/9764
