5 The writer traveled on a subway. A True
I have often thought about moving from my small town to a big city like New York. Life in a small town is quiet, and I’ve always found the bright lights and crowded streets of a city very exciting. However, after a recent visit to New York to do some holiday shopping and see the holiday decorations, I was very happy to get back home!
After an expensive coffee, I did my shopping. Well, I tried to do my shopping. There were so many people on the sidewalk that I had to walk in the street. Everyone was in a hurry. They were pushing and bumping into each other with their bags. No one talked or smiled. Then, of course, it was time to go home! My feet were hurting, and it was raining again, so I decided not to walk. I got a taxi, but the ride took 45 minutes because there was so much traffic. I can’t remember the train trip home . I slept. Now I know why I live in a small town. Life may not be as exciting or as fast as in the city, but there’s more room on our buses and in our stores, and the people talk to you. But the holiday decorations in New York were beautiful!

8 Most of the people the writer saw in New York were very friendly. A True B False C Doesn’t say
There seem to be more people in New York than ever before! It was crowded everywhere I went: the streets, the sidewalks, the stores, the restaurants, and the subway. Everyone was trying to get somewhere quickly. I traveled to New York by train, and the train was so full that I had to stand for the whole trip. Then I wanted to take the subway. That was a big mistake! There were hundreds of people on the platform, and when the train arrived, it was full! But the people on the platform just pushed and pushed and finally got on the train! I didn’t. I went back to the street and walked to Fifth Avenue. It was raining and freezing cold, but it was better than the crowded subway.
B False
