Thank you for your card.I’m glad you’re having a good time，but I’m not surprised.Washington，D.C.is wonderful at this time of year.

The most expensive part of New York is Manhattan.This island is famous for its skyscrapers(摩天大楼)．Broadway is a famous street in New York.It is known for its theatres and you can see wonderful shows there.
There are many museums and art galleries(画廊) in New York.Pupils often visit museums and have their art classes there.Schoolchildren often visit the Bronx Zoo.It is the largest of the New York City zoos.It opened in 1899 and since then has always been a favorite place for animal lovers and children.

I hope that I’ll meet you in my city in August.
