John Parker is an English language teacher. He was always good at languages at school, so he decided to take his degrees in French and German. When he finished his university studies, he began teaching in a secondary school in England. Two years later, however, he met someone by chance who offered him a job teaching English to foreign students during summer holidays. His students were adults and he enjoyed the work enormously. He soon found he was more interested in teaching his own language to foreigners than in teaching foreign languages to English schoolboys.

      Since then he has specialized in this work. He has found that one of the advantages of the job is that it enables him to find work almost everywhere in the world. First he went to Africa for two years and then he spent a year in Asia. After this he went to Italy where he has worked for the last two years. He hasn’t been to Arabia yet, but he intends to go there next. He has taught men and women of all ages and of various nationalities.

New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.

You might want to do some shopping in New York. Fifth Avenue is probably New York’s famous shopping street, but if you go, be prepared to “window shop” only. This is shopping for the rich. There are other less expensive shopping areas nearby, and you’ll soon come across famous store such as Bloomingdales, Macy’s and FAO Schwartz.

And if you’ve brought your rollerblades, then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large, open park right in the middle of Manhattan, but if you thought that people came here to relax, sit down for a few minutes and get away from the rush of New York life, then you’d be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run, jog(慢跑), and most of them rollerblade.

When you leave New York, you might be tired, even poor and overweight, but the one thing you won’t be is bored!

1). You would probably only “window shop” in Fifth Avenue because it is a famous shopping street.
