Wall Street
No street has been more important to a city than Wall Street has been to New York. Wall Street is now the city's financial heart. And the New York Stock Exchange is also situated here.
The New York Stock exchange began as a simple area around an apple tree which grew at 68 Wall Street. It was here, in 1792, that 24 traders agreed to deal only with each other.
Read about some famous places of New York City
October 29, 1929, Black Tuesday was the collapse of the New York stock markets and this soon led to The Great Depression.
Throughout the years, the advance of technology has produced many changes at the stock exchange. Over 200 million shares are traded each day for more than 2,000 companies.
The massive bronze statue of a bull, the symbol of Wall Street, has long been a mascot for traders on Wall Street.

Manhattan
Manhattan is an island just 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. It is the center of American finance, advertising, art, theater, publishing, fashion - and much more.
Manhattan is divided into the East Side and the West Side. The dividing line is Fifth Avenue. So, for example , East 47th Street begins at Fifth Avenue, as does West 47th Street.
Manhattan is also divided into Lower (Downtown), Midtown and Upper (Up-town) Manhattan. Lower Manhattan refers to street numbers below 14th Street and Central Park, and Upper Manhattan to the northern part of the island.

Well Done!
Wall Street (are) is the banking center of New York. But it is also (many) much more. The business (doing) done on Wall Street makes New York City the financial center of the United States, in the same way that Washington D. C. is the government center.
People around the world think of power and big (crime) business when they think of Wall Street. That (was) is because people who work there deal with huge amounts of money every day. They work at the New York Exchange, international (shops) banks and large investment companies. They make business deals that (affects) affect millions of people.
How did Wall Street get (it’s) its name? To find out, we must go (forth) back to the early years of European exploration in North America.
