THE TRIP TO CHICAGO, WASHINGTON DC AND NEW YORK Hi, my name is Evan.

I live in Vernon Hills, Illinois, US in Extended Stay Hotel. Every weekend or holiday my mother and father always took for a trip, either to downtown Chicago or to other cities. Last week, they took me to downtown Chicago to go to Millenium Park, Willis Tower, Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum. We went to downtown by metra ( an inter-cities train). The trip last an hour. When we arrived to the Union Station, we go to the Millenium Park by walk. I love to see Bean Gate that located in the park. Bean Gate is a gate that has shape of a bean. We can look ourselves on the gate. From the millennium park, we went to Willis Tower by walk. In Willis Tower, we can go to the top of the building to see of Chicago Citys scenery from the top. To see the scenery we can go to the transparent box. We went to Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium by bus. The Field Museum is a very huge museum. At the museum, we not only see statue of animals from any kind but also displays about countries around the world. The famous part of the museum is huge dinosaurs skeleton. If in Field Museum we only see dead animals, in the Shedd Aquarium we can see the living one. We can see many fishes from all over the world too. My trip last week was very excited; I cant wait to go for another trip. And today, my mother gives surprise for my winter holiday. She said that we are going to Washington DC and New York for the holiday. I am very excited and cannot wait for the trip. We will visit the White House and Capitol Hill in Washington DC and Liberty Statue in New York. White House is the home of President of the United States of America. Mr. President lives in the White House with his family. Capitol Hill is the house of representative (DPR/MPR in Indonesia). In New York we will go to Liberty Statue. Liberty Statue is a statue displaying a women figure holding a golden torch and a book. The statue is very high but we can go inside the statue and climb to the top using stairs or elevator. I cannot wait for my holiday trip. VOCABULARY: Trip Downtown Place Excited Near Visit Inter-cities Building Scenery Skeleton
