Experience Chicago (2)

When you're tired of viewing art inside, go outside and explore nearby Millennium Park. On a hot day, play in the Crown Fountain with its glass brick towers. Admire yourself in the shiny surface of the nearby Cloud Gate. Locals call it "the Bean" because of its shape. The 110-ton sculpture reflects the city's famous buildings. Then head over to McDonald's Cycle Center. There, you can rent a bike and ride along the shore of Lake Michigan. Or join a bike tour of another area of the city.

All that exploring will make you hungry. And finding a great place to eat downtown is easy! Try a Chicago hot dog with mustard, tomatoes, hot peppers and more. Or head to Gino's East of Chicago for some delicious, cheesy deep-dish pizza. The restaurant's walls are covered with writing and pictures. If you're not a hot dog or pizza fan, don't worry. Chicago has more than 6,000 other restaurants to choose from.

Teaching Topic: Deep Dish vs. Thin Crust
芝加哥有名的 deep-dish pizza 深盤pizza,
跟一般紐約的 think-crust pizza 薄片 pizza,
1. 二者不一樣的就是crust (餅皮)
think-crust 經過烘烤之後, 揉嫩且可以折疊,
紐約人會把pizza當成三明治折起來吃,
芝加哥人deep-dish pizza因為非常厚, 所以會用刀叉吃,
2. toppings 指的是暗餡料,
傳統的pizza是把toppings放在top,
芝加哥是把toppings 放在餅皮裡面,
有約一英吋高度, 所以pizza裡面有濃濃的起司和餡料,
3. servings 每一份的量
薄片pizza可以當點心, 不一定要當正餐
深盤pizza是要坐下來當正餐食用
