 My Adventures in New York
Read Oliver's travel blog about his trip to New York City and pay attention to the highlighted structures in present perfect and past simple
tenses. Note the time expressions used with each tense, and write them down. If you know of any others, feel free to add them to the list.
Hey there, my name is Oliver, and I'm excited to share with you my experiences in New York City. Last Friday I booked a flight and went to NYC. I've been
here for a few days now, and it's been incredible! I've already explored some iconic places, tried delicious food, and met some amazing people.
To start with, I've just visited the Statue of Liberty, and it was breathtaking! I've always wanted to see it up close. Two hours ago I took a ferry to Liberty
Island, and the view from there was incredible. The tour guide also told us about the history of the statue, and it was really interesting.
Next, I checked out Times Square. It was so lively and busy, with lots of people and bright lights. I saw some street performers and visited some shops,
and I really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Yesterday, I went to Central Park. It's such a beautiful park with lots of things to do and see. I took a bike ride around the park, had a picnic by the lake,
and even went to the zoo. It was a great day!
I am also planning to explore different neighborhoods in the city, such as Greenwich Village and SoHo.
Both areas have unique shops and restaurants that I'm excited to check out. Since I have never tried
American foods and drinks before, I am going to buy something popular, like a bagel with cream cheese
and a pumpkin latte.
Finally, I haven't gone up the Empire State Building yet, but I have already bought my ticket online, and
I'm planning to do it soon. The view from the top should be amazing, and I can't wait to see it!
Have you ever been to New York City? Let me know in the comments below.
Stay tuned for more updates about my trip!

 never have I ever...
One person begins the game by saying 'Never have I ever...' and completing
the sentence from the card in the present perfect tense.

Then, if it is true for them, other people say 'Yes, I have' or 'No, I
haven't'. For example, 'Never have I ever gone skydiving.' Anyone in the
group who has done the action mentioned in the sentence has to bend one
finger. The game continues with the next person in the group completing a
'Never have I ever' statement. Players who have done the action
mentioned in the sentence continue to bend their fingers.

Players are eliminated from the game once they have bent all ten fingers.
The last person with the most fingers still unbent wins the game.

Have fun!
