Culture Video: New York

Start off in a true New York landmark:
Times Square, crossroads of the world.
At number ten, this hotspot offers up an
instance slice of life in the big city. Catch
a Broadway, show on the Great White
Way and make sure you leave plenty
of time for the free people watching in
one of the world’s most dynamic public
spaces. For number nine, take the one
train north a few stops to the beautiful
Lincoln Center. This cultural hub located
in Manhattan’s Upper West Side is home
to the Metropolitan Opera, the New York
Philharmonic, the New York City Ballet
and the Juilliard School, as well as several
other resident performing arts company.
Head just a few blocks east and you’ll
108
find a number eight ‘can’t miss attraction’: Central
Park, it’s one of America first and foremost major
urban public spaces, it receives nearly 35 million
annual visitors. Head straight down Fifth Avenue to
the Empire State Building and take in a view of New
York from the city’s highest observation deck.
Since you’re already on Fifth Avenue, take
advantage of what no trip to New York is complete
without: shopping! Browse the selections at Saks
Fifth Avenue, pick up a gift for the kids at FAO
Schwarz or maybe have a little breakfast at Tiffany’s.
New York’s Brooklyn Bridge, just a few steps away
from Chinatown, connects lower Manhattan to
the bustling revitalized borough of Brooklyn. At
number three, the Brooklyn Bridge, soaring over
the East River, is one of New York City’s most
famous routes both for tourists and born-and-
bred New Yorkers. Go ahead and walk across:
an elevated pedestrian path gives you the
opportunity to cross the river without being
bothered by the traffic that rushes past the
level below.
The Statue of Liberty Enlightening the World
was a gift of friendship from the people of
France to the people of the United States
and is a universal symbol for freedom and
democracy. The boat ride alone is worth the
price of admission. It offers up a spectacular
360-degree view of New York Harbour.

I still have a dream. It is a dream

these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal.’

I have a dream that one day even the state

heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of
oppression, will be transformed into an oasis
of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my
four little children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the color
of their skin but by the content of their
character. I have a dream today... I have
a dream that one day down in Alabama,
with its vicious racists, with its governor
having his lips dripping with the words
of interposition and nullification, one day
right there in Alabama little black boys
and black girls will be able to join hands
with little white boys and white girls
as sisters and brothers. I have a dream

Intvw Thank you for coming to today
show to talk to us about Air
Force One, the President’s private
airplane.
Expert It’s a pleasure!
Intvw So, what can you tell us about it?
Expert Well, technically it’s not one,
but one of two planes that carry
the President when on official
business. You can immediately
recognise them because of the
American flag and the words
‘United States of America’
written on them.
Intvw I see, and what is so special
about Air Force One?
Expert Well, each plane is very fast. It
goes at 620 miles per hour and
it can refuel in midair. It also has
very advanced communications
equipment, including 87 phones
and obviously a security system
to protect the President from
nuclear and other kinds of
attack.
Intvw And is the President
comfortable on board Air Force
One?
Expert Oh, yes! The airplane has three
levels, including a suite for the
President with a large office,
conference room and bathroom.
There are also two kitchens,
which can prepare food for 100
people, and there is even
a doctor permanently on board
if required.
Intvw What about the people who
travel with the President?
Expert There is plenty of room for them
on the plane too, as it is more
like a hotel than an airplane,
but it’s very expensive. It costs
£116,000 per hour to keep it in visitors each year. Built by William the Conqueror queens over the last five hundred years.

Int. How many countries actually
drive on the left and which
ones are they?
Ex. Well, Britain is one of about
25% of countries in the world
that drive on the left-hand side
of the road. Other countries
that do so include many
former British colonies such
as Australia, Sri Lanka and
South Africa, but also more
unexpected countries such as
Japan, Thailand and Indonesia!
Int. So, what is the reason for this
difference?
Ex. As most people are right-
handed, for much of history,
travellers stayed on the left
side of the road. For instance,
ancient Romans probably held
their horses’ reins with their
right hands and a whip with
their left so they didn’t hit
drivers of other chariots coming
towards them.
Int. This doesn’t however explain

on the right-hand side of the
