Dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States
from the people of France, The statue was administered by the United States Lighthouse Board until 1901 and then by the Department of War; since 1933 it has been maintained by the National Park Service.
The statue was closed for renovation for much of 1938. In the early
1980s, it was found to have deteriorated to such an extent that a major
restoration was required. While the statue was closed from 1984 to 1986,
the torch and a large part of the internal structure were replaced.
After the September 11 attacks
in 2001, it was closed for reasons of safety and security; the pedestal
reopened in 2004 and the statue in 2009, with limits on the number of
visitors allowed to ascend to the crown. The statue, including the
pedestal and base, closed beginning on October 29, 2011, for up to a
year so that a secondary staircase and other safety features can be
installed; Liberty Island remains open. Public access to the balcony
surrounding the torch has been barred for safety reasons since 1916.
FAST FOOD... DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS???
Many Americans have the bad habit of eating on the go, especially in the
car. Therefore, the drive-through fast food restaurant has become a
standard of American culture. It's known for unhealthy but tasty menu
items. Depending on the chain, you can get practically anything from a
fast-food restaurant, including tacos, hamburgers, Chinese food,and
salad. Restaurants with drive-through windows are everywhere, and an
average-sized city will have some that are open all night (especially by
popular nightspots). Many roadside stops along highways have this type
of fare for busy motorists to stop in, relax, stretch their legs, and
have a bite to eat; the type of fare that is offered from place to place
may vary from just a single McDonalds to a larger establishment with
multiple restaurants and multiple choices (some may allow you to pick a
slightly healthier meal, ie, eating fried chicken vs. picking up a plate
of spaghetti and meatballs.) Look for blue information signs with white
lettering on the shoulder of the highway to see what fast food fare is
available at the next exit.
Is interesting to know about other cultures as it is here where I can account for the extent of the globalization that even in culture can appreciate.
ReplyDeleteIs very interesting the history of the Liberty Statue, I didn’t know that French people gave it to the Americans. I would like to go one day to know it, it would be gorgeous be in the crown and see all that beautiful landscape.
ReplyDeleteIn other way, American people must be more healthy in their alimentation, cause only eat junk food and rarely vegetables, fruits and healthy food. I don’t like hamburger either French fries and the other junk American food. I prefer take care of my body. Betty Garcia
Betty, there are two Liberty Statue, one is in The United States, and the other in France.

ReplyDeleteI think it is very important to know about art and the different monuments around the world, especially those ones that belong to the American people, so i can say that The Statue of Liberty is the most important monument in our continent.
ReplyDeleteAbout the fast food i think that it is a bad habit, although it is delicious and tasty, people must eat healthy food, not only for beauty but health, because now when we are young we don't feel anything, but when we get older the damages in our bodies will be severe and irreversible.
The fast food is delicious but isn´t good for our health, so take care about it
ReplyDeleteI would like to travel and visit somo pleace la this, i think it´s great!
IT IS VERY INTERESTING TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, ESPECIALLY THE PART OF FRANCE, BUT THAT STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SO MAJESTIC AND BEAUTIFUL GIFT.
ReplyDeleteON THE VERY DELICIOUS FOOD IS ALL THAT MAKES THE WORLD, BUT FOR OUR HEALTH IS THE WORST, AND people get used to NOT STOP EATING YOUR SEAT IS NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE AT HOME, SO IF WE LET HAVE A SOCIAL DECAY AND IRREPARABLE INCREDIBLE.
Hi dear students; I´m happy for your excellent comments and participation, I agree with you, It´s important to know the culture of the foreign language what we are interested in to learn...
DeleteNote: What kind of information would you like to know and to learn?
what good gift for the united states thanks to it there are so many tourists
DeleteI like to know history of other country
healthy eating is the most recommended but each country has its customs, I the respect I prefer to take care my health

Hi! I love the blog, It's great to share our tastes, know the history of cities and their different cultures, I personally would like to meet Paris, its buildings and various tourist attractions, also China for its food.
ReplyDeleteIn Colombia there are many places to meet and visit also, we have a great culture to offer tourists who come to our country, it's great. So... there is much to know and enjoy our planet.
Thank you!

is very important to know of places on the world, especially the tawer iffel, i like because it is a place of tourist attraction.
ReplyDeletemy opinon the fast food , i do not like
Personally I think travel is one of the pleasures of life by allowing us to meet and learn different ways of living and language, also enjoy the different landscapes of each country and that many of them are wonders of nature and other volved by the men as in the case of the statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower, the muralal China, etc..
ReplyDeleteEach country as well as each region of our country has a variety of foods fails to imagine the delight that one can find in different places, like anything in excess is harmful to health in this case what happens fast food in USA people suffering from obesity by the amount of consumption of these foods, do not lead healthy lives, but equally a burger a day is another very rich.
Bay.........
Hello teacher and peers, I hope they are well.
ReplyDeleteFeed that the statue of the liberty is a signal of the who means the sisterhood between U.S. and France, this statue has a great history between these two people.
For me one of the most important things is to know about all the differents cultures that we have, because culture, can make us or I mean like growing up our minds, and alto to abolish ignorance.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the article of fast food, I´m totally agree with it, we are a society that we were carried away to a world crowds of uncounscious minds, that truly don´t think about the welfare of each ones, so if we dont think in our welfare How can we do? how we gonna change the thoughts that only thing on cheapest thing? let me tell you as says in spanish ¨lo barato sale caro¨ and there´s too many ways for us to be healthy, so SAY NO to FAST FOOD
The Americans are rooted in the culture historic and gastronomic. for example, in the New York's city the statue of Liberty is a national symbol that identifies this city and thousands of curious tourists who want to know the story that has this statue.
ReplyDeleteAnd the fast food for their easy preparation and taste is the favorite the Americans. However, is not healthy. They have the highest rates of obesity worldwide for this type of food.
Fast food is a style of food very common in many parts of the world. It is very rich, easy to prepare, but it is important to note that excessive drinking can cause diseases such as overweight and colesterolentre other. It can be consumed in moderation.
ReplyDeleteClaudia Hernandez Mora
You´re right Claudia
DeleteIt is very good to find out about things of general culture and especially about a country as U.S.A and better much to know of historical facts like that the statue of the freedom is a gift to the close conditions and realize the American culture.
ReplyDeleteCamilo Pinzon Coriat
yes, You´re right, It´s important to understand the culture about a country and after, You can learn the language spoken.
DeleteThis text is very interesant, because open our eyes over this form "modern" of eat in all site and your bad results in our bodies and health....
ReplyDeleteIs best have not this here, is much go the form of live that have the people for the tecnology.
Thanks,
Bye
I've read your comentaries, and you all are right, the Liberty statue history is very interesting, and the statue is one of the places more visited in The United States.
ReplyDeleteI don't like the fast food, I think it is a very american way life, here in our country, we have the necesary time to cook delicious food.
Santiago Flòrez.
I think that Americans should change their lifestyle for health, since most are obese. This should change to have good habits and also be healthy, eating vegetables and healthy stuff.
ReplyDeleteMaria camila arenas
Very interesting, really did not know the of the statue another contribution to my life, talking a little fast food, eventhough it is rich does not bring good results as advice should change its feeding not only good for them but for the whole wordl because that is no loger being viewed only in EE.UU but in various parts of the wordl
ReplyDeleteIt´s good to know this kind of information, the culture plays an important place if we want to learn other languanges, it helps to understand better some idiomatic phrases.
DeleteI really liked to read this, because you can know the culture in other places of the world, and yeah it's true how the people in United States eat this kind of food EVERYTIME and they of course get fat and have a bad health. But for me this is one of my favorite foods. My brother lived in U.S.A for 2 years and he told me that most of the people eat fast food. I went there 3 times and everytime I ate in Mc Donalds, Pizza Hut, etc. Of course I eat healthy food and go to the gym sometimes, at least do excersise, but some of that people don't like to do it and eat bad food, that's why they are so fat.
ReplyDeleteBye!!!!!

Hello Daniela;
DeleteThat´s true, it´s hard to see american people going to the gym.
the main problem is that havent responsability our obligations. we must defend our nation and our principies, we identify how colombian people, the customs must be taken by the word. this is an invitation for think.
ReplyDeleteJesika Julieth Rodriguez

whats up! ok so ive been in the statue of liberty in New York and is pretty awesome, and actually like the text said it was closed since the 9/11 attack and it re-opened to the public in 2009 (i went to the statue in 2009 so i wasn´t actually able to go to the top of o it).
ReplyDeletenow talking about the fast food... i love it! it´s very delicious and not healthy at all hahaha i remember some buffets in the US that i used to go "they were the food paradise" i mean you just had to pay the entry and then you could eat everything you wanted and repeat as many times as you wish "of course i drived crazy in there" but i started to get a little fat by doing that so now i eat healthy food and i workout on the gym everyday :)
good day!
ReplyDeleteabout the statue, this is a interesting information, isn't it?, certainly, the statue was a wonderful gift, isn't it?, off course. before, I could enter the statue, aren't I? .yes, but since the september 11 attacks, the statue already not open, is it?
about the fast food, this is worrying, many people enjoy eating fast food in their cars, don't they?, but they are destroying your health, aren't they?, sadly if, they should at least to stop in the restaurant and look something healthy for eat, shouldn't they?

ReplyDeleteHave a representative statue is amazing, Isn't it?. It means be important and admirable, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt is nice see a country so beautiful and advanced, isn't it?
A tourist big statue is an important attraction, isn't it?
Is a great resources font.
The idea of have a drive-through fastfood restaurant, it means progress and a entrepreneurship in the midst of stress, isn't it?
Let's go to know those wonders, shall we?

I think that this information It's very interesting, because It is showing the bad way of eat in North America, apart that is not healthy is delicious and for that the people in America is presenting so much health problems for overweight, and this is a big danger to the persons and news generations. Sometimes the Americans use the GYM to try loose weight, but if they follow eating this food, it just doesn't going to serve for nothing, but some persons use the GYM and do diet because they want that their life going to be healthy.

The Statue of Liberty is a symbol known worldwide, and more appreciated as it symbolizes the desire for freedom in the world, I also find it very moving that this symbol has survived in the history for more than 100 years, is really amazing that this structure has survived this long.

It is interesting how you call them "big items". That's how it is with cultural aspects, they become "living elements" and they, therefore, create stories that become part of the history.
DeleteIt is very interesting to know the history of the Statue of Liberty, as it is important to know as restored as changed over time. I would love to meet her.
ReplyDeleteToday there are variety when eating, it's desicion of yourself, know that it is healthy and what not. Not always healthy food is ugly.
Hello Ferney.
DeleteAs you say, there are a lot of healthy options that are also tasty; e.g. fruits. Now, maybe in NY fruits all the year are not an option as they are here, but still, I think there are many options.
It is interesting to know other cultures and more is in our Colombia many and we do not enjoy them but we seek other countries undersides being opposite first travel around our OAIS and there if recorer others.
ReplyDeleteThere are many different cultures and habits as the statue is a symbol of libertadque lideralismo for all
