11. Introduction We think it is better to go on a holiday overseas because it is a one in a lifetime opportunity.

12. Firstly we think it is better to go overseas because you get a good experience out of it and you enjoy yourself.

13. Secondly you get to try new food and also you get to see sights you would not have seen before.

14. Finally you get to meet new people and see how they live, dress and how they travel around everywhere.

15. So that is why I think that an overseas holiday is better than having a holiday in Australia because every country is different with the cultures, food and sights. Also it is a good way to explore and you also get a good experience out of it. You also try loads and loads and loads of new things. Also in New York there will probably be a lot of gift shops so you will be able to bring back a few souveners. You could also get a few gifts for your friends and family.

16. Thanks Thank you for watching our trip to New York!!!! We really appreciate it thank you for your time.
