We’re reading “A Carousel of Dreams.” It’s an article about carousels. The writer says that one carousel is the most fantastic in the nation. That’s just his opinion—it can’t be proved. There are facts, too. For a park in New York City, kids’ drawings were used to make the animals on the carousel.

Estamos leyendo A Carousel of Dreams. Es un artículo acerca de los carruseles. El escritor dice que un carrusel en especial es el más fantástico de la nación. Eso es sólo una opinion ya que no se puede comprobar. También hay hechos. Para un parque en la ciudad de Nueva York fueron usados dibujos de niños para hacer los animales en el carrusel.
