Before starting this section, take a look back at the strategies and tips we saw in the<br />

previous section(s).<br />

Before reading. We are going <strong>to</strong> spend a few hours in Central Park, this beautifully<br />

huge recreation ground in the middle of Manhattan, which you surely know from many<br />

films. But first, answer the following questions in pairs/groups:<br />

What do you know about Central Park? / What is your idea of Central Park? Try <strong>to</strong><br />

define it.<br />

For a minute, make a list of all the possible leisure activities that you might practise in<br />

Central Park, and share the list with your partner(s).<br />

Read the text quickly (about 2 minutes) <strong>to</strong> get a general idea and write two or three<br />

sentences in which you can summarise that idea.<br />
