【盐仓24秋】外研版(2024)英语八年级上册B本Module 9 Population Unit 1 第二课时
Chicago is the third most populous(人口众多的) city in the US, with a population of about 2,700,000. Its other famous name is "The Windy City". It is for a good reason. The city lies right next to Lake Michigan and heavy winds blow through the city.
Chicago is famous for its art and culture (文化). In order to know the art and culture, you must pay a visit to the Art College of Chicago. It is not only a school, but also a world- class art museum. If you don't want to visit a museum, you can take some special photos. Then your best choice is to take photos at the Cloud Gate. Chicago has lots of fun things to do. If you enjoy heights, visit the famous Willis Tower! You can go up to the top of it and walk onto a glass box. You'll be standing over the city, but don't worry— It's completely safe. Doesn't Chicago sound like a fun city?
