Pilar Santos Tambo A Tribute to New York B % * Before starting this section, take a look back at the strategies and tips we saw in the previous section(s). A. Before reading. Look at the title of the activity and the two pictures that accompany the text. What do you think it is going to be about? What information do you expect to find there? People say that you haven’t been to NY if you don’t ride on the subway. So, you go out of your youth hostel and look for the nearest underground station. But before you do that, answer the following questions and discuss them with your partner: a) Have you ever used the underground? b) In which Spanish cities can you find it? c) What are its advantages and disadvantages? $ 5 # 9 ! ! ! !

Once you have read it, can you say what those words in italics refer to? For example: a) the natives (lines 1-2): the inhabitants of New York b) them (line 2): the sights to see in New York c) d) e) … Words like each, its, this, etc. make connections between different parts of a text. Sometimes they may refer to a word, phrase, etc. which is “far away”. Other times the connection is not so evident, and one of the words may be an example, an illustration, etc. of something that has been said previously or that will be said later. C. Below there is a text 29 about the Big Apple Greeters 30 , an organisation of volunteers that will show you around their city on the subway for free. Read the text attentively. % ! ! 5 ! ! 9 ) # $ 9 ) ! 8! ! # $ 9 ) ! " " ! ! " " # ) ! " " ! ! 9 ) ! # $ 9 ) ! ! ! ! ! ! " # 6 9 ) ! ! ! " 9 ) ! 4 " 5 $ ) ! # 9 ) ! " " ! 9 ) ! 3 !
