Pani Konsul Stella Lowder z Konsulatu Generalnego USA w Krakowie w czasie swojego wystąpienia na konferencji metodycznej dla nauczycieli języka angielskiego z częstochowskich szkół - opowiadała dużo o swoim mieście, nazywanym STOLICĄ ŚWIATA.

Nowy York - bo o nim mowa to miasto wielu zachwytów, tajemnic, spełnionych i niespełnionych marzeń. Mówi się, że "You are not successful if you are not successful in New York!" Pani Konsul pozostawiła nam pytania, na które możecie spróbować odpowiedzieć.

UWAGA! Maturzystom wiedza ta może się przydać na maturze (już za dosłowną 'chwilę'), a wszystkim pozostałym (za trochę dłużej!) i ... kto wie? Może kiedyś dane Wam będzie NYC odwiedzić? Jak pewien Anglik kiedyś powiedział: "NOBODY KNOWS!"
