    These are the three states I choosed:

    I choose Alaska because we can see lots of animals (polar bears,
    beavers…) and because I like cold climate.

    I choose California because it’s a very big state with lots of sites to visit and because it’s near the Pacific Ocean.

    I also choose Washington D.C. because the president of the USA leaves in this state and because I want to visit the White House.

    I would like rather work on :

    - First : California because the sites are interessant (for exemple Hollywood, Death Valley National park, Warner brothers studio, golden gate bridge…); famous people who live: lots of groups of rock that I like are native of this state (The doors, Red hot chili peppers, Green day…)and in this state the activities are varied (surf, walking…)

    - South Dakota because there is Mount Rushmore national memorial, I think this site is the most incredible in this state.

    - Texas because there are NASA’s Johnson space center houston and Museums ; this state is famous for her tradition and her culture: music country, rodeo, baseball and famous people are native in this state (for exemple Janis Joplin).

    The States I would like present are

    Oregon
    Nature is everywhere : the Mt. Hood region in the North, Crater Lake in the South, the Pacific coast in the West, the Hells Canyon in the East, the high desert country in the center.
    So the presence of different environments offer a lot of possible activities like fishing, skiing, hiking, biking, clinbing, rafting, viewing the wildlife…

    Wyoming
    There are natural parks and of course Yellowstone. It’s a State of cowboys and cowgirls so there are demonstarations of rodeo, barrel racing or there’s cattle auction which is really funny (Auctioneers speak so fast !)

    Washington
    It’s above Oregon so there are common points for the Landscape (Hells Canyon for exemple) and Seattle is situated in this State. Known for Space Needle, the emblem of the city. And famous peoples were born there: Kurt Cobain, Bill Gates, Jimi Hendrix.

    Good afternoon (and sorry for writing too late..)

    I’d like to visit Rhode Island because even if it’s the smaller state of the USA, there’s beautiful sites. I want to go at the Roger Williams Botanical Center and zoo and see the waterfire at night. I can do varied activity like swimming in the atlantic ocean, diving or surfing, walking, photography.. and cultural activities, for exemple the festival ballet, visiting the First Baptist Meeting House and lot of museums of art.

    I want to visit New York because N-Y is a world-famous city and I’d rather see the Statue of Liberty and stroll in Central Park. I also want to look at and heard the Phantom of the Opera at Broadway because I like very muche the music (and the shouting at the beginning).

    I want to go in Alaska too because there is lot of wonderful animals (even if it’s very very cold..). I’d like to see whales and bears. And if I can, I would rather teach to fishing in the ice.

    I’m most interested for visited this three states:

    - The Louisiana because the biggest state ” New Orleans ” is known for his Jazz music, Louis Armstrong lived here. On New Orleans too, there is the National World War II Museum and I think it’s very interesting.

    - New-York because there are on it beautiful monuments ( the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building ) and a lot of museums ( Museum of Natural History, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Franklin D. Roosevelt Museum, … ).

    – Massachusetts because the historic city where the witch were burned, Salem, is on it and I think it’s interesting to visit it several centuries after the event in 1692.
