Hello, I would like to tell you about my hometown. I am from Connecticut. It is

2
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:25,719
located in the northeast of the United States. Connecticut has four seasons

3
00:00:25,719 --> 00:00:32,960
spring, summer, fall, and winter. It's on the coast and has many charming towns and

4
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,399
rural communities. Yale University is located in New Haven, Connecticut. Yale is

5
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:46,280
one of the best universities in the country. The city of New Haven is very

6
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:53,000
lively and has many restaurants and parks. Connecticut also has the

7
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:58,399
University of Connecticut, also known as UConn. UConn is known for their

8
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:04,760
incredible basketball team. The women's basketball team is the most successful

9
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:12,159
team in the nation having won a record of 11 NCAA Division one national

10
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:18,799
championships. Connecticut has the Mystic Seaport and Aquarium. You can walk

11
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:24,140
around the lighthouses and see the marine animals. You can also visit Gillette

12
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:30,799
Castle State Park for more outdoor fun. Many people visit Connecticut for its

13
00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:37,340
casinos. The casinos are Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Mohegan Sun is actually one

14
00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:44,299
of the largest casinos in the country. I'm from a small city called Norwalk.

15
00:01:44,299 --> 00:01:51,500
Norwalk has a population of 88,500 residents. While in my town I like to

16
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:56,459
visit South Norwalk for the many restaurants or go for runs in Cranberry

17
00:01:56,459 --> 00:02:03,319
Park and visit the Maritime Aquarium. I really like the food in Connecticut. My

18
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:09,180
favorite pizza is from Colony Grill. A fun fact is that the first hamburger was

19
00:02:09,180 --> 00:02:14,580
created in New Haven at a restaurant called Louie's Lunch. It still serves

20
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:20,599
burgers today. I hope you enjoyed learning about the state where I'm from.

00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:21,599
Thank you.
