I can't wait to see Vancouver's Convention Center. It has six acres of grass growing on the roof, and from its windows you can see Stanley Park and the North Shore Mountains in one direction and downtown Vancouver in the other. How fantastic!
Well, it's time to go. I'm looking forward to seeing you next week. Bye for now,

New York in one day … What can you see? What can you do?
I recommend Grand Central. When you walk into this old station, it's like a black and white photograph coming to life. Th is terminal is busier than the other terminals – so watch out for people in a hurry. You can also go jogging or bike-riding in Central Park.
If you like art, then I suggest the MET (Metropolitan Museum of Art), the Whitney or the Guggenheim. Th e Whitney is closer to Central Park and has more works by younger and less-well-known American artists. Th en have dinner at a restaurant around the livelier Times Square.
If you want the "tourist option", then go to the top of the Empire State Building. It's higher than the Bank of America Tower. Th en take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
If you like shopping, you can choose the cheaper option and go to Soho, or the more expensive option to Fift h Avenue. Th en, why not use the subway to see New York's multicultural neighborhoods, Chinatown and Little Italy?
I'm a practical person and, when I don't have a lot of time, I choose a bus tour that stops at every famous monument. It's a cooler and more pleasant option because there's air-conditioning inside.

19.1 Language Summary
Describing experiences and feelingsAt an amusement park , you can go on many rides , such as the rollercoaster and the ferris wheel.
On the rollercoaster ride, there were many people screaming. It was fun and at the same time frightening . The ferris wheel was quite boring and slow .
I put on some scuba-diving gear , such as my wetsuit, my scuba tank and my mask. I watched the sharks go around me. It wasn't dangerous because I was in a cage.
Seals are funny . They make the public laugh a lot.
The playground was fun for the kids. They had a great time! The scary dive coaster takes you up 250 feet.
When I got off, my legs were like jelly. I couldn't stand up.
It was tough because we had to climb so many stairs, but in the end we had a wonderful time. Yesterday evening, we all went to the spa for a relaxing hot stone massage.

Making comparisonsPicasso, van Gogh and Monet are some examples of well-known artists . They're all famous. New York has some multicultural neighborhoods, such as Chinatown and Little Italy.
How about doing something more exciting , like seeing the island by bike? Well, it's hotter today than yesterday, so I think the beach option is better . The indoor playground for the twins had 24-hour supervision, so it was safe . Modern cars are safer than old cars.
We always go to work by car, it's more convenient than with the bus.
It's worse on the ferry than on the hovercraft. The ferry is always crowded and slow. This terminal is busier than the other terminals.
The hovercraft is faster than the ferry.
Stingray City is farther than Seven Mile Beach. It's worse than I thought.
Stingrays are less dangerous than sharks.

Base-jumping is a sport in which a person parachutes from fixed objects, such as high buildings, cliffs, etc. Whitewater rafting is a sport of rafting down fast-flowing rivers, especially over rapids.
Heliskiing is an extreme sport . A helicopter takes you to remote mountains and you ski there. Dangerous sports are linked to the most serious injuries to your body.
A car racer needs the best sports car.
A racing yacht needs the most competent crew.
An amateur mountaineer needs to be trained by the most experienced guide.
Going to the spa is relaxing. Fishing and listening to music are the cheapest and easiest things to do. Today was my worst day ever. It was terrible from the moment I got up.
Some people think fishing is the least fun . They think it's a boring activity.
