My connections
I liked learning about New York because I think it is a cool state, plus it has many interesting places to visit. For example New York has a 9/11 Memorial Museum. I I never been to New York so If I ever go to New York then I would want to see the Empire state building and the Statue of Liberty.
The most interesting fact that I learned about New York is that homeowners can request free trees. The reason this is the most interesting fact that I learned is because I thought in the U.S you had to pay money to get trees even as a homeowner.
Lastly, I would really want to visit New York because it's a very cool place to visit during summer. I really want to see all the cool things there, and I want to try the foods there.
