My trip to America

　　    On July 19, 2002， I received an invitation from the city of Danbury inviting me to visit America. I knew that I would be part of a delegation(代表团) of 13 people who were to visit the United States in August for 12 days.

　　   On August 22, I flew on a Northwest Airlines flight from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. We flew across the Pacific Ocean and arrived in Detroit at 10:30 in the morning, local time. Then we changed the plane and went to New York City. When we arrived there, the boss of Global Services International Company asked Luo Qianjing to pick us up. Then the cars took us to our hotel, which was for overseas Chinese students.

　　    During my trip, I visited many famous cities in the USA, such as New York, Washington D.C., Los Angeles and other interesting places. I visited the Statue of Liberty, United Nations, Wall Street and World Trade Center, which was destroyed one year ago. I also saw the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange). In Washington D.C., I went to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial，the Lincoln Memorial, Library of Congress, the White House and the Pentagon(五角大楼). In Los Angeles, I visited Universal Studios and Disneyland. On September 1, we went to the 50th state of the USA, Hawaii. That is a beautiful place with blue sea and sky. I love it. I also went to the USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Honolulu.

　　    That’s my trip to the USA. It’s wonderful. I will remember it forever.
