We've got the best topic by far - in my opinion anyway.	play_circle pause_circle
I was really hoping we'd get the Environment. I had my fingers crossed!	play_circle pause_circle
So did I! I was so happy when Professsor Brown announced it!	play_circle pause_circle
I saw your face light up when he gave the Environment to our group.	play_circle pause_circle
I heard you whispering to Sergei. You seemed pretty excited.	play_circle pause_circle
I was saying that we should do a feature on the Great Barrier Reef.	play_circle pause_circle
Carrie does scuba diving so she knows a lot about the reef.	play_circle pause_circle
I came across an article about it recently. It said that scientists have noticed the coral dying.	play_circle pause_circle
That's terrible! Is it true?	play_circle pause_circle
I'm afraid so. The coral is dying in some places.	play_circle pause_circle
Oh, there's so much we can write about!	play_circle pause_circle
Climate change - that's having a terrible effect on the Arctic.	play_circle pause_circle
The destruction of the rainforests - that's really important.	play_circle pause_circle
Renewable sources of energy - wind power, tidal power, that sort of thing.	play_circle pause_circle
Ooh! I can feel this website growing already!	play_circle pause_circle

Let's have a look at these photos then.	play_circle pause_circle
OK. The first one is Times Square. It's the most amazing, crowded place.	play_circle pause_circle
It's very colourful.	play_circle pause_circle
Look at all those Lights.	play_circle pause_circle
I know! I could watch them flashing for ages.	play_circle pause_circle
Is that where you went to the theatre?	play_circle pause_circle
Yes, that's where we saw The Lion King. This next one, Central Park.	play_circle pause_circle
It looks huge.	play_circle pause_circle
It is. And there's loads of stuff to do there.	play_circle pause_circle
What's this place?	play_circle pause_circle
This is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's absolutely massive.	play_circle pause_circle
You didn't see everything then?	play_circle pause_circle
No chance! It has more than two million works of art.	play_circle pause_circle
Two million!	play_circle pause_circle
Yes. And 5 million people visited every year.	play_circle pause_circle
Good heavens!	play_circle pause_circle
Now this one's Fifth Avenue.	play_circle pause_circle
That's where all the famous big department stores are, isn't it?	play_circle pause_circle
That's right. It's absolutely brilliant for shopping.	play_circle pause_circle
And spending lots of money, no doubt.	play_circle pause_circle
Dad, I didn't spend too much money.	play_circle pause_circle
What's this skyscraper? Is it the Empire State Building?	play_circle pause_circle
That's right.	play_circle pause_circle
That's the tallest building in the world, isn't it?	play_circle pause_circle
It was forty years ago, but not anymore.	play_circle pause_circle
You can go up to the top, can't you?	play_circle pause_circle
Yes, you can, but we didn't have time.	play_circle pause_circle
What a pity! I bet the views are amazing from right up there.	play_circle pause_circle
