Unit One

Washington D.C.

Good morning, everyone. I want to welcome you to Washington D.C. Tour USA

is going to take

around nation’s capital this morning. I’m Martha Anderson and I will be your guide. The tour will

take 2 hours, so we will be back about noon.

We are starting at the Capitol Building, where the senators and representatives vote on laws for

the country. And there across the street is the Supreme Court, the highest court in the United States.

Next to the Court is the Library of Congress. Just imagine, the Library of Congress has a copy of

every book printed in the United States.

Here

is the Washington Monument. It is such a beautiful tall monument, reaching up into the

sky. That is one of the most popular sights in Washington. And there is the White House, where

the president and his family live. If you have time, you should take a tour of the White House and

see the rooms where the American president lives.

Now we’re coming to the Lincoln Memorial. This is one of the most loved places in Am

erica,

because Abraham Lincoln was such a great man. Now the bus is going across the Potomac River

to Arlington National Cemetery, where so many American heroes are buried.

If

you

have

any

questions

about

Washington,

please

ask

me.

I

hope

you

Good morning to you all! Welcome to Chicago, the Windy City! I’m Martin Chen, and I’m your

guide today for Tour USA.

We are driving along Lake Shore Drive, on the shore of Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan is one

of the Great Lakes, and as you can see, it looks like an ocean. . There are even sand dunes! If you

want to, you can take a trip on one of our tour boats to see the city from out on the water. As you

watch the trees bending back and forth, I think you can see why Chicago is called the Windy city!

But we hope the weather will be good for your visit.

Now

we’re

in

the

business

district

of

this

great

city.

This

is

the

Chicago

Board

of

Trade.

Chicago

is

one

of

the

most

important

American

cities

for

products

made

in

the

USA.

In

the

nineteenth century it was the central meat market for the whole country.

This city is also known for its fine museums. We are passing the Art Institute of Chicago. Y

ou

should try to visit this museum while you are here and see the paintings collected from all over the

world. There are more than fifteen excellent museums here.

Right now we are passing the Chicago Lyric opera House, where you can hear opera sung by

famous

singers

from

the

United

States

and

all

over

the

world.

There

are

opera

performances

Friday and Saturday evenings.

And now we are going by Wrigley Field, one of the oldest baseball parks in the country

. The

Chicago Cubs play here when they are in town. I’m afraid they are playing on the West Coast this

week.

Please ask me if you like any more information. I hope you have enjoyed seeing Chicago with

Tour USA.

Unit Five

New Orleans

Hi, everybody! I want to welcome you to New Orleans. Tour USA

is going to show you the city

which was once called the Paris of

America. My name is Louise Faraday and I’ll be your guide

today.

I

hope

you

are

hungry

because we will

stop

for

lunch

at

one

of

New

Orleans’

famous

restaurants. But you will be back at your hotel by three o’clock.

First we are going to drive along the River Road. Y

ou see the beautiful plantations, wonderful

old homes that have been kept as they were more than 100 years ago. These were plantations that

raised sugar cane. If you have time or you are in New Orleans, you can take a trip along the river

on one of the many tour boats.

Of course,

the

heart

of

New

Orleans

is

the

French

Quarter.

Notice

the

iron

balconies

and

the

courtyards

of

the

lovely

homes we

are

passing. They

look

French

or Spanish

because

they city

was

first

French,

and then

became

Spanish,

and

then

became

French

again!

Then

around

1800

New

Orleans

became

part

of

the

United

States.

The

city

has

kept

its

European

feeling.

Y

ou

should see New Orleans in the spring during the Mardi Gras Festival! That is the most exciting

time to be here.

We

are

now

passing

some

of

the

famous

jazz

clubs.

New

Orleans

is

the

home

of

jazz,

and

people come from everywhere to hear the great musicians play.

But

now

its

lunch

time

and

here we

are

at

Antoine’s,

one

of

the

most

famous

restaurants

in

America. Of course it

’s French! I hope you have enjoyed seeing New Orleans with Tour USA

.

Unit Six

Dallas

Good morning to you all. I want to welcome you to Dallas. Tour USA

is going to show you this

exciting Texas City. I’m Chuck Carter and I'll be your guide today. The t

our will take about two

hours, so you will have plenty of time to go to the rodeo tonight. Y

ou will find the rodeo a real

Western experience, with lots of cowboys and horses and fancy riding.

We are now going through the business center of Dallas, with its many new tall buildings. The

main offices of all the large oil companies are found here. But dress design and manufacturing is

also

very

important

in

the

business

life

of

Dallas,

as

you can

see from

this

huge

building,

the

Apparel Mart.

We are now driving out to let you see an oil field at work. That tall

iron structure is called a

derrick,

and

the

workers

are

getting

the

oil

from

deep

in

the

ground.

There

are

oil

fields

throughout the Southwest, so you can see this kind of sight in many other places.

Now we

are coming

to

Old

City

Park.

As

you can

see,

many

small

old

buildings

have

been

moved here to show how people lived

in Dallas more than 100 years ago. Notice those houses;

they are made of logs. That was the easiest way for people to make a house when they cane to

Texas.

If you are a sports fan, you should try to go to a game of football with the Dallas Cowboys.

They are a famous team and you will have a great afternoon. Here we are passing some of the
