Los Angeles, California is the most
exciting city in the USA. It’s got
Hollywood, Disneyland, fantastic beaches
and the LA Dodgers baseball team.
But LA wasn’t always exciting. In 1900 it was smaller
and quieter, and Hollywood was a small village. Then
film studios arrived, and the village of Hollywood
changed. Today it is part of LA, and Hollywood’s ‘Walk
of Fame’ is the most famous place in the city.
It’s got more than 2,000 stars on it!
It’s always sunny in LA and there are lots of
different attractions. You can go shopping on
Sunset Boulevard (it’s too expensive for me!),
or you can surf on Venice Beach. There are
theatres, museums, the biggest theme parks
in the USA and the noisiest sports stadiums.
LA is the best city in the world!
