Аудирование текста "From the history of  New York".

The first European explorer who saw Manhattan Island was Giovanni da Verrazano, an Italian merchant. The date was April, 1524.

Other Europeans followed Verrazanno , most notably Henry Hudson, an Englishman employed by the Dutch East India Company. The Hudson River is named after the navigator who set foot on these shores in 1609.

Even in those days when America was known as the New World, it was a country with the ability of its people to make a good deal. In 1626 the Dutch Trade Company bought Manhattan Island from the local Indians for twenty four dollars. It was probably the most spectacular deal of all times.

Here the Dutch founded their colony and gave it the name New Amsterdam. Forty years later the English fleet under the Duke of York captured the city and renamed it New York. After the war of Independence, in1783 New York became the first capital of the new republic - the USA.

The city grew very quickly .Today's New York is the greatest contrast possible to the island settled by the Dutch in 1624. In a sense, New York is one of the least historic cities in the world.
