Direction: Listen and read to this guided tour of New York and complete the missing information.
Welcome to Manhattan’s Central Park! This is where New Yorkers come to 1., cycle, line skate and jog, or simply to enjoy the natural surroundings. There are also many water play areas in the park, which are fun and 2. on a hot day. At the 3. end of Central Park is the famous Guggenheim Museum. Apart from exhibiting some of the world’s best modern and 4. art, the museum itself is an architectural icon in New York. From the outside the 5. is extremely striking and looks a little like a spiralling 6. animal shell. Where should you go shopping in Manhattan? Well, Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue offer the best in designer clothes. If you’re not keen on 7., but prefer a different sort of experience, then why not try Greenwich Village where there are gift shops, 8. and 9. clothes boutiques with reasonable prices. Finally, you can’t visit Manhattan without taking a trip to Broadway, to watch a good show, play or maybe 10. your favourite star!
