  1. As soon as I would arrive in New York City, I'd book a hotel room and stay in it for 1 hour. I would take the map of the city, and I'd make my schedule.
    So imagine, I'd get out of my room at 8 o'clock. I would directly go to the Empire State building, to avoid long lines. Then, I would go to Times Square, to do some shopping because I love it ! I'd also buy some souvenirs for my family and my friends. After, I would go to the Bronx zoo, to see all the animals and learn about them. It's now 11.30 a.m, and I'm starving ! So I would take the bus, to go to Coney Island. There, I would buy a sandwich and relax on the beach. At about 3.30 p.m, I would come back in New York City. I'd take the boat, around Ellis Island to see the famous statue of Liberty ! When returning to the city, I would go to Central Park, to eat an vaniglIa ice cream, because it's the best there, and visit a bit the park during an hour and a half.
    Even if my feet hurt, I would go to the Metropolitan museum for a little culture.
    Finally, at the end of the afternoon, I would go to the Madison Square garden, to listen to U2.
    This would have been a great day, and as soon as I have a chance, I would go back for a longer period of time.
    New York Is a really beautiful city.

    1. "I would go directly..." "I would go to Times Square to do some shopping..." (no comma necessary) "...to do some shopping. I love doing that!" "I would come back to New York City" "I would take the boat around Ellis Island to see the famous Statue of Liberty!" (no comma necessary and in English, we capitalize all important monuments). "When returning to the city, I would go to Central Park to eat a vanilla ice cream. It's the best there. Then I would visit the park for an hour and a half." (avoid run-on sentences). "The Metropolitan Museum" (see, we capitalize a lot!).
      "... I would go to Madison Square Garden to listen U2."

  2. I arrive in New York City for a day.
    First of all, New York City is a city with many places to visit like museums, parks..
    In the first place, I think I will go to see the " Statue of Liberty " because it's a dream for me to admire this famous monument ! However, I won't go on this statue because there are many people and I can't stare that !
    Then, I will walk in thé Central Park because I love nature and parks !
    Next, I will see the Empire State Building and Times Square of course ! In this last place, I won't stay a long time but we can't leave New York City without see Times Square !
    Lastly, at the end of the day, I will go to Museum of Modern Art to relax me !
    So, I think I will buy many souvenirs for my family.
    I know that this perfect day will cost me very expensive because I will take taxis. It's a very fast transport ! But, we don't go to New York City all the days !
    So, it will be my perfect day in this city.
    Finally, there are so many places, so we can go in New York again and again !

    1. "...the Statue of Liberty, because it's my dream to admire this..." (no need to put quotes around the monument). "However, I won't go inside the statue because there are too many people and I can't stand (?) that!" "And, I think I will buy..." "I know this perfect day will cost me a lot of money..." "It's a very fast method of transportation (or you can say method of transit)" "However, we don't go to New York City every day." (never start a sentence with the word but; it's grammatically incorrect)

  3. If one day I have the chance to go to New York City... I don't really know what I would do because there are so many things to do !

    First, in the morning I would go to Central Park because it's a quiet place, and for me who doesn't like mornings, it is better to wake up softly with the little ducks. Then I will eat one of those famous hotdogs in Times Square. To digest, I'll go for a walk in the streets of Brooklyn and if I have the chance, say "hi" to an American Rapper ! Next, I'll go have fun at the amusement park of Corney Island moreover I could even go swimming in the sea... why not ? Then in the evening I'll go and see a famous musical in Broadway such as Mamma Mia. And to finish perfectly the day in New York City, I'll go to Williamsburg Bridge enlightened.

    I'll finally come back in France with the head full of memories...

    1. "First thing in the morning, I would go to Central Park, because it's a quiet place. I for one don't like mornings, and it is better for to me to wake up softly with the little ducks." (beware of run-on sentences) "...hot dogs..." "To digest, I'll go for a walk through the streets of Brooklyn. If I have the chance to say "hi" to an American rapper, ... (what will you do?! Incomplete sentence!)" "Next I'll enjoy myself at the amusement park in Coney Island. (unfortunately it's not called Corny Island, although that would be an appropriate name!) (don't forget to beware of run on sentences!) Moreover, I could even go swimming in the sea. Why not?" "...the ocean..." (New York is on the Atlantic Ocean, not the Atlantic Sea). "... "Mamma Mia"..." (I believe musical theater titles are italicized, but I don't have that option in a blog comment). "And to finish the perfect day in...I'll go to the Williamsburg Bridge, enlightened" (that can be one sentence. Don't forget to put articles in front of a bridge, or monument).

  4. If I have the opportunity to go in New York I would go during Christmas times when it is snowing and is cold.

    I would take a room in a Hotel in front of Central Park. In the morning I would have a walk with a caffe and a chocolate croissant. I would visit Metropolitan museum and If I have enough time I would go to skate on the ice despite of my bad level in skating... Of course I would go to shopping in Time Square and maybe I could see my face on the screens of advertising!! I would climb the 102 steps of the Empire State Building to see all New York in its beauty. I love Asiatic Food so I would choose a lovely restaurant in China Town and bring memories for my family. One should not forget that we have to spoil them. There is so much thing to visit in New York that a day is not thus enough so I had a good idea.Why not take the helicopter during the night?That would allow me to see everything from above...

    In the end I would be fall in love with New York. This suggests that I would stay a little longer that planned!!

  5. I have always wanted to visit New York, I always heard about it : its museums, monuments, streets, avenues and parks. So what would I do and what would I buy if I go there ?

    In the first place, I think I would get up very early to have time to do a lot of things because one day is very short in New York ! So, first of all, I would have a typical american breakfast.
    Then I would go to the top of the Empire State Building and take a lot of pictures, it must be so impressive and beautiful to see this view (but I believe I would have vertigo !)
    Secondly, I would walk on the famous fifth avenue to buy clothes and souvenirs. So I will have to save up money before going there !
    After, I would go to Times Square to see the huge screens and to visit the m&m's store ! Next, I would go to the Statue of Liberty and have a boat tour, this statue is a symbol of New York but it reminds me France too. Then, I would go to Central Park to relax and maybe rent a bike to ride around this natural place in the heart of a city that is full of buildings, cars and pollution !
    Lastly, in the evening, I would cross the Brooklyn bridge (on foot of course) and eat in Brooklyn, in a dinner (if I can find one).

    In brief, this day in New York would be wearying but very enriching and I would come back with a lot of memories and things to relate. And I am sure I would like to go back to the city that never sleeps !

  6. First of all, I think I’m so excited to go in New York City. So, I don’t realize to be in this town. But, I re-keying me and I take the card placed on the console of my hotel room. If my hotel is near Time Square, I think I’m go to that place for shopping and exploring new stores that isn’t present in France like Forever 21, or Victoria Secret and many others … .
    Then, I would like to visit the famous Brooklyn Bridge and, surely the neighborhood also, to take a coffee in Brooklyn. And I think after this coffee break, I would go visit the Statue of Liberty because it’s the symbol of America and, especially, New York. I would also eat in Chinatown to discover the various district of New York. I think I’ll exhausted after this emotional day, so I return to my hotel room and sleep.
    I have seen a small part of New York, but I think the next day I still will visit New York trying to see as many things as possible in a day.
