VI. Read the text, then do the tasks.

Los Angeles, California is the most exciting city in the USA. It’s got Hollywood,
Disneyland, fantastic beaches and the LA Dodgers baseball team.
 But LA wasn’t always exciting. In 1900 it was smaller and quieter, and Hollywood was a
small village. Then film studios arrived, and the village of Hollywood changed. Today it is part
of LA, and Hollywood’s ‘Walk of Fame’ is the most famous place in the city. It’s got more than
2,000 stars on it!
It’s always sunny in LA and there are lots of different attractions. You can go shopping on
Sunset Boulevard (It’s too expensive for me!), or you can surf on Venice Beach. There are
theatres, museums, the biggest theme parks in the USA and the noisiest sports stadiums. LA is
the best city in the world!
