State Parks, freeways,

and other things I love about the US

J enny Cla r k an Australian mom and college student who lives in California, says the

US isn't just OK-it's paradise These are some of her reasons

Coffee

American cups of coffee are very big! A small cup of coffee in the US is like a large cup ofcoffoe in Australia If you're in a hurry, you go to a drive-through and buy coffee from your car It's so easy!

State Parks

California has 278 state parks, and they are beautiful On the weekends, I bring my family to a state park in my area We explore

the forest, find small animals, and enjoy the tall redwood trees

Malls

I love shopping, and in the

US, the malls are very big

People walk around and shop for hours US malls have many different stores, and the salespeople are friendly and help you find things

Fall

I love the fall weather in the US A good fall day in California is cool, but not too cold I also love the trees

They change from green to yellow, red, and brown

a Look at the photos In which one can you see ?

Freeways

I prefer the roads in the US The freeways are very fast, and in California they have a lot of car lanes It's really easy to drive from one place to another

Theme Parks

Theme parks are very popular in the

US, and we live near the Great America

Theme Park

My children like the rides and water slides

Sometimes the

I ines for the rides are long, but that's OK

We need rest!

Red Robin

Red Robin is

a restaurant that has great hamburgers

I don't eat meat, but I like the french fries and lemonade at Red Robin I think the fried cheese sticks are fantastic, but sometimes they aren't on the menu Maybe that's because they aren't very healthy!
