CAUSATIVE
A city of Adjectives
Pete:” New York can be called a City
of Adjectives . Do you know why?"
Dave:” I really don't know, but I
suppose it's because in New York many World Records were broken"
Pete: "You're right!
In New York was built the first building using the idea of vertical
city in the world."
Dave: "Really? What building
are you talking about?"
Pete:”
The Empire State Building ! It was the highest building in the world in
1931".
Dave:"Yeah I know it! But after
even higher buildings
were built, like the Twin Towers in the World Trade
Center 420 meter high, that doesn't exist anymore. What else can you
tell me about New York ?".
Pete:” Well,
at Rockefeller Center you have the largest theater
in the world with more than 6,200 seats. Do You know its name?.
Dave:” It’s
the Radio City Music Hall . I’ve been there to watch a Rock
Concert."
Pete: "You have also Macy´s
which is self named as the world's largest store
and in Manhattan there are the most expensive estates in the world. And the most famous statue in the world
is in New York , It’s the..."
Dave:” Don’t tell me! It's the
Statue of Liberty, right?"
Pete:” Yes right! It is 154
feet high statue which makes it one of the biggest sculptures in the world."
Dave:” That’s the” Big Apple" I
know. But there's a negative point in it. The worst crimes happened there, mainly at Central
Park at night."
Pete:” Well, nothing is perfect but
the good part is bigger than the
bad one. Don’t you think so?"
Dave: Yes I do. In New
York there's always someone or something that is richer,higher,faster,more beautiful or more
dangerous than in any other place in the world."
Pete: So you see why it's called the
City of Adjectives "
Dave: I do! Specially the
superlative ones."
By
the way:” Big Apple is the nickname of New York City "
