ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English New York City – Educational Trip Around the World
Welcome to our exciting Trip Around the World! Today, we’re going to explore the amazing city of New York.
Lily and Jeff came home from school feeling a bit worried. Their teacher asked them to learn about their family history, but they didn’t know where to start.
“Look, Dad! This map talks about our family. We can find out where our grandparents were born and learn about our other relatives,” said Lily.
“That’s fantastic! Kids, pack your bags! With this old map and my new invention, the World Whirler, we’re going to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors around the world. You’ll see how much fun doing your homework can be!” Dad replied.
First stop: New York, the city that never sleeps!
“There’s your cousin Martha! She’s performing a play in the middle of Central Park. Her mom told us she’s an actress here in New York,” Dad said.
Central Park is right in the heart of Manhattan, New York City. It’s a big, rectangular park and the most visited park in the United States. It has two lakes, several waterfalls, and two ice skating rinks. It’s huge!
“Hi family! I’m Martha. I’m so happy to meet you! We’ve just finished the play. If you wait for me to change, I can take you to discover the city of skyscrapers,” Martha said.
“Sounds good?”
“Great! I want to visit the Empire State Building. From the top, there’s got to be an amazing view! It’s one of the most famous skyscrapers in the world and even featured in the movie King Kong,” Jeff exclaimed.
After meeting their cousin, they took a picture with her in front of the Statue of Liberty.
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous landmarks in New York. It stands for freedom and was a gift from France to America in 1886 as a symbol of friendship between the two countries. The statue was built in France and then shipped to New York.

Family Tree Exploration: Create your own family tree! Ask your parents or guardians to help you gather information about your family members. Draw a tree on a large piece of paper and write the names of your family members on the branches. You can even add pictures if you have them. Discuss with your family where each person was born and locate these places on a map. This will help you understand your own family history and how it connects to different places around the world.
Central Park Adventure: Imagine you are visiting Central Park like Lily and Jeff. Create a mini Central Park in your backyard or living room using toys, blocks, or natural materials like leaves and stones. Include features like lakes, waterfalls, and ice skating rinks. Invite your family or friends to explore your park and share what you learned about Central Park. Discuss why parks are important in cities and how they help people relax and have fun.
Statue of Liberty Craft: Make your own Statue of Liberty using craft materials like paper, cardboard, or clay. Think about what the statue represents and why it is important. Once your statue is complete, share it with your family and explain its significance. You can also write a short story or draw a picture about what it would be like to visit the Statue of Liberty in New York City.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
