HELLO, WORLD! 8
Video 1
Hola! Me llamo Diego y soy de Nueva York. Soy puertorriqueño: like many other people from
all over the world, my family came to New York from Puerto Rico in search of a better life,
dreaming of making it big. Together with other nations and cultures, our Puerto Rican
heritage has helped build and shape the City of New York as we know it today. If you ask
me, it is this mix of different people and cultures that makes NYC great. But this
cosmopolitan city is not familiar to New Yorkers only: many of its streets and places are
famous all over the world. With a population of over 8 million people, making it the most
populous city in the US, New York attracts over 60 million visitors a year! It truly is the city
that never sleeps. I live in a brownstone rowhouse in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is one of the five
boroughs that make up the city of New York. The other four are Manhattan, the Bronx,
Queens and Staten Island. Manhattan, or the City, as New Yorkers call it, is the smallest
borough, but millions of tourists go there for its unique sights and tastes. You name it,
Manhattan has it! Times Square, also called the Crossroads of the World, is full of neon-lit
billboards, stores, entertainers and people. From there, you can go to Broadway and check
out its many theatres and shows. Culture lovers can enjoy the world-famous museums and
galleries. And those interested in shopping can go on a spree on Fifth Avenue! If you’d like to
try out your business knowledge, the Financial District with the famous Wall Street is the right
place for you. With so much to see and do, you’ll definitely get hungry. Why not have a hot
dog on the go? For a taste of New York’s staple foods, you can also try bagels, pastrami on
rye, or pretzels. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss out on New York cheesecake or the
black-and-white cookie! You can also enjoy ethnic food in many delis and restaurants across
the neighborhoods of Little Italy, Chinatown, Greenwich Village and SoHo. Or pop over to
Brooklyn and join the thousands who visit Smorgasburg, NYC’s largest weekly open-air food
market. When you get tired of the concrete jungle, relax in Central Park, New York’s famous
green oasis. You can also grab a cab, take the train or walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and
enjoy the view of New York’s iconic skyline. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a helicopter
tour or one of the ferries on the Hudson and East Rivers to admire the city from a different
perspective. Catch a breath after all this excitement and chill on stoops: one of my favorite
places to be. Talking to family, friends and my neighborhood Brooklynites: nothing beats that.
And this fall I’m welcoming Hiro, a Japanese exchange student from Tokyo, to join my family.
But that’s not all: I’m also getting a Japanese dog, a Shiba Inu pup! I’m looking forward to
learning about Japanese culture and showing them the places and the people that make up
this great city. We’ll visit other places, as well. Upstate New York has lots to offer, too. And
Washington, DC, Philadelphia and Boston are just a ride away. Nevertheless, for me it’s all
about my city. Just as the song says: “New York, New York / I want to wake up in a city /
That doesn't sleep / And find I'm king of the hill / Top of the heap / These little-town blues /
Are melting away / I'll make a brand new start of it / In old New York / If I can make it there /
I'll make it anywhere / It's up to you / New York, New York”.

Hiro: Hello, Diego! It’s great to see you, too! I’m very excited about the trip. I’ve made a list
of things I’d love to see in New York when I arrive. Could you tell me something about your
favourite places in the city?
Diego: Sure! The city is so big that I know just a tiny part of it. I’ll definitely take you to Coney
Island. It’s in Brooklyn, not far from my house, and it’s a place where you can have loads of
fun. There’s a beach I go to for a swim with my brother. There’s also an amusement park
with lots of different rides. I hope you’re not afraid of heights, because you can’t skip a ride
on the Wonder Wheel!
Hiro: Oh, I’m not. Sounds fun! The amusement park is actually on my list; I love going on
roller-coaster rides.
Diego: Great! Then I was thinking of taking you to my favorite place in New York. It’s not in
Brooklyn but in Manhattan, so we’ll need to take the subway. It’s the Museum of Modern Art,
or MOMA, as people usually call it. I’m really into art, and some of the paintings by Andy
Warhol are displayed there. He’s my favorite artist!
Hiro: Oh, I’d love that! I only know his work from what I’ve seen on the Internet; I can’t wait to
see it in person. Are there any other places worth visiting?
Diego: I’m a big fan of everything relating to superheroes, and New York City is quite famous
for the locations where superhero movies have been filmed. Maybe we could go on a themed
tour? My sister and I are really into movies in general, so we often go to see them together.
There’s a cinema just a few blocks from my house. We can go there, as well, if you want.
Hiro: Sure, that would be great! I like movies, too. One of my favorites is ‘Godzilla’. It’s about
a Japanese monster that almost destroys New York. Have you ever seen it?
HELLO, WORLD! 8
Diego: I sure have, and I loved it! I didn’t enjoy seeing my city getting destroyed, though!
Hiro: Yeah, I’m sure you didn’t! Look, I also like to go for a jog in the morning. Is there a park
nearby with some good routes?
Diego: Sure there is. There’s Prospect Park, a huge park in Brooklyn where I often hang out
with my friends. It’s very nice and pretty quiet, since it’s not as popular with tourists as
Central Park. We can go for a run or ride a bike or skateboard there together!
Hiro: Deal! Wow, we’re going to do so many different things!
Diego: That’s the beauty of New York: there’s something for everyone here, and it never
gets boring. Oh, and I forgot to tell you about another hang-out I love. It’s the stoops right in
front of my house. It’s a New York thing. I often sit there with my friends; we chat and have
fun. Seeing and hearing the buzz of the city can be very relaxing.

volunteer at a help centre for teenagers, I have met a lot of kids whose friends were a bad
influence.
Hiro: I understand... In Japan, I had a friend who had a really bad influence on me. Have you
ever let your friends copy the homework you have worked hard on? Have you skipped school
or your sports practice? I have done it all. I suppose I was worried he would make fun of me
and stop hanging out with me. I don’t know. Anyway, we have fallen out and I haven’t spoken
to him for months.
Diego: But things have worked out really well for you, I see!
HELLO, WORLD! 8
Hiro: Yeah, I have learned an important lesson, too: never do things against your will. True
friends support you no matter what.

Track 1.3
1 Dear beep, I understand that you’re fed up with it, but bullying back is not the answer. That
would just give the mean girl more reason to pick on you. Have you tried answering calmly,
saying something like “Want some? It’s delicious” and pretending that you don’t care? Get
support from your friends, too. They shouldn’t just be silent bystanders. Bullying usually
stops when peers intervene. And if it doesn't, report it to your teacher, and the bully will have
to face the music.
2 Hi, beep! Talking about it is definitely a step in the right direction, and you should feel
proud of yourself for doing it. Being a passive witness is almost as bad as being the bully. If
you feel safe to do so, you can stand up for the boy next time they harass him. And if you’re
afraid to do that, talk to an adult who can help. If you help to stop this from happening ever
again, you’ll feel much better about yourself!
HELLO, WORLD! 8
3 Dear beep, first of all, block and report anyone who is bullying you online. Also, keep
records of any online bullying by saving messages or taking screenshots. And, most
importantly, don’t let a handful of envious people discourage you from reaching your goal.
Have you considered turning what they’ve done to your advantage? Show your fellow
students that you will do everything to stop that kind of behaviour if they vote for you. The
bullies might end up regretting what they’ve done.
4 Hey, beep! Chin up! What you’ve just described is a very sneaky way of bullying. People
who gossip and do things behind your back are, in fact, really insecure and often feel very
bad about themselves. They pick on other people to make themselves look better. Have you
tried confronting the boy? Be confident. It might make him lose his power. And report the
graffiti to the school authorities. They should find the cause of the problem and deal with the
offender.

Hiro: That’s true. I’m googling all the Spider-Man sites in New York I’d like to see, but it
seems that putting myself in the shoes of my favorite superhero will take time.
Diego: You’re staying here for six months, so we’ll have enough time to see everything. Well,
almost everything. I’m not sure anybody has ever discovered the whole of New York. Let’s
start planning, what do you say?
Hiro: Yes, let’s! What did you have in mind?

all. We must take a selfie at the New York Public Library. You must meet Patience and
Fortitude, the Library Lions. They’re among New York’s most popular statues!
Hiro: Is that where Peter’s uncle, Ben, gives that famous quote: “With great power comes
great responsibility”?
Diego: Yeah, right there! And then we could visit the Flatiron Building. It’s really unusual –
skinny and triangular – so you can’t miss it. The Daily Bugle, the newspaper that Spider-Man
works for and sells his photos to, has its headquarters there. Or we could go to Columbia

at Columbia, too.
Hiro: This all sounds fantastic, but why don’t we go back to the real beginning, before the
spider bite, and start where Peter grew up: at Queens, in Forrest Hills?
Diego: I’d love to! I’ve never been there. OK, so let’s start our tour in Queens and then visit
the other places after. We can take the Queensboro Bridge tramway on our way to Forrest
Hills.

Brandon Stanton is a New York photographer and chronicler of street life. His photoblog and
books are famous all over the world and have millions of fans. In 2010, he decided to start a
photography project and create a catalogue of 10,000 New Yorkers. He would stop a random
person in the street, take their photo and start a conversation with them. That’s how Humans
of New York, or HONY for short, started. People often wonder why complete strangers open
up to him. He says it’s because he is really interested in what they have to say. He actually
takes time to listen to them, which is something many of us don’t do that often in our busy

Hi! I’m Hiro, and I’m from Tokyo, the world’s most populous city. Tokyo is a lot like New York;
it’s a city that gives you an unlimited choice of things to do and see. My grandparents live just
a 90-minute ride away from Tokyo by express train. I always enjoy the ride, because the
scenery is breathtaking. Spending time with my grandparents is equally interesting. My
grandpa is the most intelligent person I know. He’s the person I always turn to when I need a
piece of advice. He is also very traditional. I’ve never seen him argue with anybody, even
when he knows the other person is wrong. He believes that pushing your own beliefs on
other people is disrespectful. This is exactly what he taught me: to respect others. He is not
very talkative; he speaks only when he has to. (laughing) I wish I could say the same about
my grandma! When I was younger, she would tell me fun stories she’d invented. She still
makes me laugh every time I visit! My grandparents are both very hardworking, and they’ve
passed that trait on to my dad. He is also very responsible, and he never jokes about work.
HELLO, WORLD! 8
He takes it very seriously. He’s like that at home, too. Mum is the exact opposite, though:
she’s cheerful all the time, and she never stresses about things. They both work a lot, and
we don’t have much time to spend together during the week, but that’s why we make our
weekends all about us. We love discovering new things together, and Tokyo is a paradise for
foodies like us! We either choose one of the many restaurants and street-food stands, or we
stay at home and order takeaway. My dad and I always eat from the takeaway plastic boxes,
which is probably on the top of my mum’s pet-peeves list. She hates it when we do that.
‘Respect your food! Use a plate!’ she yells. I don’t like it when she gives us orders. That’s my
pet peeve! Although, when I think about it, I miss it a little now that I’m in New York.

Jake: I often visit the iconic places of New York, and I can never get enough! I don’t mind the
crowds, the tourists or their selfie sticks. One of my favorite landmarks is the Brooklyn
Bridge. Walking across the pedestrian walkway and taking pictures of the city through the
steel wires is one of my favorite things to do. You can even see the Statue of Liberty from the
Bridge. I’ve visited Liberty Island a couple of times: going there is always a day well spent!
However, if I had to choose just one landmark, it would most definitely be the Top of the
Rock open-air observatory, from which you can get an amazing view of Manhattan with the
Empire State Building in the centre. Finding rooftops with nice views and taking photos of the
city skyline is my favorite pastime.
Leona: I enjoy every part of New York, but I’d say that my favorite place is right in the heart
of Manhattan. I love the fact that you are in the middle of the city and there’s no skyscraper in
sight, and no traffic. I feel very peaceful and calm there. I always bring a packed lunch and sit
on a bench looking out across the lake. My number-one spot is definitely near the
picturesque Bow Bridge; it’s so romantic! I love the colour of the trees in autumn. I could
spend hours lost in Central Park. But when I get tired of the peace and quiet that the park
offers, I take a subway and go to Coney Island. In summer, my friends and I head for the
beach to swim in the ocean and joke around. I never go on a roller-coaster ride, though.
Heights make me sick; I prefer staying firmly on the ground.
Luis: I love how New York changes all the time, but it also gives you the sense of belonging
to a place – and to the world! When I find myself in Time Square, I can understand why they
call it the Crossroads of the World. With all those flashing lights and billboards, it definitely
feels as if you’re in the centre of the universe! And if you like exploring different cultures and
trying different food, you should definitely visit Brooklyn’s food festival, called Smorgasburg.
It’s full of surprises for the senses, and, to me, it smells like home. There’s an area in the
middle where you can even spread out a picnic blanket. It’s located on the waterfront, so you
HELLO, WORLD! 8
can eat your ramen burger while enjoying the killer skyline views. I love how the market is
both a meeting place for people and a melting pot of cultures!
