Early last century, industrial piers stretched up the Hudson River from the Battery to the Upper West Side. Most respectable New Yorkers shied away from the working waterfront and therefore lived toward the middle of the island. But in today’s postindustrial Manhattan, the West Side is a highly desirable—and expensive— place, home to residential developments catering to the well-to-do who want to live close to the waterfront and its now recreational piers.

How the rocks in Central Park formed and metamorphosed during the Paleozoic Era About 400 million year ago, this region was shallow sea floor, off the coast of the American Continent, and was the site of deposition of great thicknesses of sediment derived from the erosion of the nearby land (Fig. 1).

The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

EFF Skill Sets Speak so Others Can Understand: Organize and relay information to effectively serve the purpose, context and listener. Industry Skill Sets Communicate with Others Activity 1: Analyzing Self-Introductions T starts the class by introducing him/herself using the following format: Good morning! My name is xxx. I’m an ESL teacher. I’ve been working at LaGuardia since ------. T asks class to stand up and get in a circle so everyone can see and hear each other; they will go around the circle and introduce themselves in a similar way. T models the introduction again and asks Sts to go around the circle. T asks Sts to brainstorm some of the characteristics of a good introduction. T writes them on the board. Speak loudly; pronounce your name clearly; make eye contact; smile; shake hands; use a positive forward motion, etc. T asks Sts to watch again, and models the introduction again, in a less effective fashion (looking down; reading from a piece of paper; mumbling, etc.), and elicits from Sts the differences between the two performances and asks Sts: Do you speak differently to your co-workers, supervisors and guests? Why? What are some differences? Now T asks Sts to go around the room again and pretend that they are all supervisors and to introduce themselves.
