AMERICAN CITIES

The United States has many large cities throughout the country. New York is the largest of all. It is the financial centre of the country, the headquarter of the clothing industry and the publishing business. It has many schools and libraries and some fine art galleries and museums. The tallest building in the world, the Empire State Building is in New York.

New York was founded by the Dutch in the 17^th century. Legend says that Peter Minuit bought the whole island of Manhattan for 24 dollars. Beginning with a little Dutch settlement at the southern part of the island the city has grown, and the little colony of Dutch settlers is now a city of over 8 million people.

Two hundred miles south of New York is the city of Washington, the capital of the United States of America. There is a law against building structures more than 90 feet high in this city so it presents different appearance from New York with its skyscrapers. The low buildings and many trees make Washington a pleasant city. Many government buildings are grouped on the land between the Capitol where Congress holds its meetings and the White House where the President lives and has his offices. There are many places of interest for the tourists: art galleries, museums, and monuments.

Chicago is the second largest city in the United States. It is built on the shore of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes and is a busy island port. Chicago is the center of the meat industry. The city is famous for its stores, the Art Institute, and museums. Built on the site of an Indian village Chicago had grown to a big port and rail center, when in 1871 it was destroyed by fire.

San Francisco, on the Pacific Coast in California is considered by many as the most beautiful city in the USA. It has a fine natural harbour and the trade it carries on with other countries has given the city its cosmopolitan air. The city is built on hills which circle the harbour and face the famous Golden Gate. This city has suffered a disaster in the form of an earthquake. In 1906 an earthquake set off a fire that raged four days. Today San Francisco is the 21st century city, but the charm of early California can be felt in its narrow winding streets, its steep hills overlooking the bay.

Every American citizen as every citizen of other countries has his favourite city, the one where he grew up, the one he lives in, the one he wants to live in.
