In the water around New York City is a very small island called Liberty Island.On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty.It is one of the most famous sights in the world.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States.The Statue was made by a French sculptor(雕刻家)named Frederic August Bartholdi.The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel,the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris.

Liberty,of course,means freedom,and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one－hundred anniversary(周年纪念)of U.S.independence from England.The statue was built in France,taken apart piece by piece,and then rebuilt in the United States.It was opened for the public on October 28th,1886.

As you might expect,the statue is very big.Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue.If they want to,they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out over New York and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city.
