My name is Camilla. Last summer I was in the United States. The voyage by plane was long and tiring and the plane ticket was quite expensive. It took me 10 hours to get to the  New York airport.

My friend Katie was there waiting for me. I was surprised by the size of the JFK airport.  

It was huge and there were very many people. I was glad my friend was there,  otherwise I would probably get lost.  

A few minutes later we were in a cab. It was a typical NY cab – big and yellow. We  were in the car for an hour. There were poor, run down neighbourhoods and rich, luxurious  ones. The city centre was fantastic. There were huge skyscrapers, and big  roundabouts. The largest and busiest roundabout was the famous Colubus Circle. There  was also an enormous traffic jam.

We went to Katie’s apartment to leave the luggage and rest a bit. It was small and cozy with   a nice view of the park. I wasn't very tired so we went to see the biggest fountain in New  York. It was the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park. There weren't many people in  the park, because it was still early in the morning.  Later we had lunch and were at some nice museums. In the evening we were at the world  famous Times Square. There were hundreds of people, huge neon lights, billboards and  advertisements. And there weren't any cars because it was a holiday and the square  was closed to traffic. I was amazed!!! We also were in one of the Broadway theatres  to see a musical. It was great!
