My family travels a lot. We visited a lot of places. Once we visited New-York. It is the most populated city in the United States.We got there by plain. We stayed in a small but a very cosy hotel. It was summer. The weather was nice. All people were friendly.  It was the city which never slept and the city of the skyscrapers.  We visited a lot of attractions. We walked in a famous central park which was used in many Hollywood movies. I saw three major airports of the country. This place contained the most complex network of subways in the whole world. There were a lot of hotels and restaurants. The food was delicious. We went  shopping  at the Fifth Avenue. I bought a lot of gifts for my friends.  In the evening we walked in the streets and saw different interesting people and places. It was a good chance to speak English. Of course I tried but it was difficult to  undestand them because they spoke very quickly.  It was great. I will never forget my journey.
