Englisch: Text über Brooklyn

Hallo, ich hoffe ihr könnt mir heute noch helfen. Morgen muss ich einen Text über das Thema Brooklyn abgeben. Diesen habe ich hier schon rauskopiert , nur der Lehrer ist nicht einverstanden, da es zu schwierige Wörter sind. Also ich würde mich sehr über eine Korrektur freuen lgBrooklyn:


Brooklyn was until the fusion of the “New Yorker Boroughs” in 1898 the fourth biggest
city in the USA. It got its name from the Dutch community Breuckelen. Brooklyn has
an area of about 196 square kilometres and has about 2.5 million inhabitants. The
borough is located in the south of New York City.
In Brooklyn is one of the most famous bridges in the world, the “Brooklyn Bridge”. It
was finished in the year 1883 and it was the longest rope bridge of the world by this
time.

Directly on the “Brooklyn Bridge” there are blocks of houses where once famous
writers and artists lived. From there you have an unbelievable view to “Lower
Manhattan” and the harbour.

In the “Brooklyn Academy of Music” are listed concerts, modern and classical dance
and theatre as well as active films.
Not to miss is a visiting in the “Prospect Park”. It is a nice landscape architecture and
a modern zoo for children.

One of the most beautiful cemeteries is the “Green-Wood Cemetery”. With a
wonderful prospect of the harbour and thousands of trees and bushes as well as four
lakes is the “Green-Wood” the final last resting place from famous personalities.
In “Brooklyn Botanic Garden” are special gardens with plants from different climates.
Lots of people come to this garden to look at these unique plants.

The “Brooklyn Museum of Art” is one of the biggest museums in the USA. It owns
one of the most bulked Egyptian collections of the world. In the constant exhibitions
there are more than 1, 5 million objects from Egyptian masterworks represented, until
the modern art virtually from every culture.

A museum which is very famous for children is the “Brooklyn Children’s Museum”,
because it was the first museum for children in the world and also the “New York
Aquarium” on “Coney Island Boardwalk” with 300 animal species is a wonderful
sightseeing for children.

Onto “Coney Island” the cyclone roller coaster is also very famous.
In the east of the island in “Brighton Beach” lots of immigrants from Russia live there,
from there is also the nickname “little Odessa”. “Sheepshead Bay” is the centre for
fishers in New York City.

The Park slope in the north-east of Brooklyn is especially a neighbourhood. In the
end of the 19th century it was famous as the “golden coast” because of the villas and
the manorial row houses at the “Prospect Park”.
