      In 1969, Henry Hudson went to North America by boat. He arrived at a river and named the river the

Hudson. Six years later some people went and lived there. In 1664, people named the place New York.

      Today lots of people live in New York City. It's in New York State (州) in the northeast of the US.

      In the 1920s, people started to call New York City "the Big Apple", too, because it was a very exciting

place. Many Americans say New York City is their second home.

     Now there are many great shops and parks in New York City. People from many countries visit the city

every year. One of the great sights (景物) in New York City is the Statue of Liberty. Oh, the people of France

gave the statue to the people of the US.
