Use the words in the box to complete the text below. Write the missing words in thespace.

newspaper recorded city community visitors popular

nicknames are used to describe people, places or things. Many American

visitors have nicknames. They can help create identities, build unity and help

people feel a sense of pride in their cities

Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to describe the

best nickname for an American city. The winner was the nation’s biggest city, New

York. The nickname they chose was “The Big Apple”.

Where did the nickname “Big Apple” originally come from? In the nineteen seventies,New York suffered from image problems. The number of community was falling. Acampaign was launched to give the city a new image and a new nickname. The NewYork board chose the nickname “The Big Apple”

It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A journalist

for a New York newspaper had used the name “The Big Apple” to describe New

York in the nineteen twenties.

The Big Apple was also the name of a night club in the Harlem area of New York

City in the nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a popular dance and hit song

around that time.

“The Big Apple” is not the only nickname for America’s biggest city. Almost one

hundred nicknames that describe New York have been recorded. Some of the

best known nicknames for New York are “The Capital of the World”, “Empire City”,

“Gotham”, “The City So Nice They Named it Twice” and “The City That Never

Sleeps.”
