2. Read the passage and, in your group, answer the questions below.
Singapore is a small city-state in Southeast Asia. It is a lovely place to visit. The attractions are quite close to each other, so travelling between them is convenient. The food here is varied- all kinds of Asian food. The outdoor food, and it is cooked right before you. Then you go and eat it at a table outside. It’s a great way to meet people. But what I like most about Singapore is that it is multicultural- Chinese, Malay, Indian, European, and Vietnamese. For me, that’s the best thing about Singapore.

The city I’d like to visit most is New York. There are many things to see and to do there. You can ...
New York is a big city in �United States of America (in Southeast Australia) . This city is one of many cities which has the largest population and also the most cosmopolitan in the world. New York stands out because people who live there go by public vehicles mainly, so we can travel more conveniently and cheaply. We also want to firsthand to see the statue of Liberty - one of the most famous places in the world. Central Park is as fascinating for us as the statue of Liberty. It`s enormous and very beautiful, we can go on a picnic, or draw a picture about its scenery. But the most thing we like about New York is American Museum of Natural History. It is an exciting place, this is the only place in the United States specializing in showcasing the history of human evolution with many famous artifacts such as fossils.
