Step ahead

Find more information about the ten monuments Naomi selected for you. Choose two of them and write to your English penfriend Oliver who lives in Liverpool.  Tell him what you now know about these two monuments and how excited you are to go to NYC with your class in June.
Write your letter (about 100 words) in a post in "comments" below.

Upset the apple cart!



Record yourself (1minute 30 seconds maximum). Convince your best friends Cécile and Nicolas (they are the apple of your eye) not to go shopping but to come and visit the two monuments you know so much about. Use as many modal verbs as you can.
