Activity 5 Read the email and answer the questions.
Dear Jiang,
Great to hear you’re coming to the US! I hope I can convince you to stop by and visit us in New York. There’re so many things to see and do here in the Big Apple. It would take a lifetime to list them all! But knowing you as I do, I’d suggest walking through Midtown Manhattan. It’s one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US and just can’t be missed!
Broadway district with its cafés, street performers and enormous and colorful signs really captures New York’s loud spirit! As Broadway is the heart of the American theater industry, it’s at night when it truly comes alive. Broadway is famous for its big theaters, showing Shakespeare, modern drama, dance shows or musicals – take your pick! With your love of singing and interest in amateur dramatics, I’d recommend a musical. It’s a moving and intense experience that I’m sure you would love – a bit like Peking Opera! Quite a few musicals are based on classic stories like Les Misérables or Peter Pan, and they might even inspire you to read the books, too!
My big news is that we’re all thinking about doing a big trip in China in the winter vacation. We’re looking for a combination of fun and traditional culture. Can you recommend a place of cultural highlights
See you soon! (Fist bump!!)

Dear Selena,
Thank you for all your recommendations, which have definitely inspired me to include New York in my trip. I can’t wait to see you there!
I’m so excited to hear that you’re coming to China! I can easily suggest places for you to visit because there are so many interesting ones. First of all, I must recommend my own city, Chongqing. Located in the south-west, it would give you an experience of urban China different to that of any other Chinese city.
Chongqing is a hilly city with a unique landscape, so the best way to travel around is by the light rail. Most of the light rail is above ground, so it’s a great way to get a feel for the place. Chongqing is also the perfect spot to see the amazingly clear line where the emerald waters of the Jialing River and those of the sandy Yangtze River meet. The city is beautiful at night, with its shining lights reflected on the rivers. The most spectacular nighttime views are from one of the surrounding mountain tops.
Last but not least, you absolutely mustn’t miss out on Chongqing food – it’s spicy, yes, but I promise that after trying our local hot pot, you’ll be hooked. There are loads of other things to see and I’d be very happy to show you around!
See you soon in New York!
Yours,
Jiang
