  8. 塔可馬報告:
    塔可馬是華盛頓州的一個中型城市。這幾十年來,塔可馬都發展得很好,所以人口一直在上昇。雖然目前的人口不是很多,可是塔可馬有很多醫院,這個特點對需要醫療服務的居民方便。還有,塔可馬的房價比較便宜,空氣很好因為這兒靠近海邊也常常下雨,交通也不錯。塔可馬整個居住環境都很好,所以很適合一家大小生活。因為所有的因素,塔可馬曾得到《全美城市》三次。

    除了有較好的生活環境之外,塔可馬的經濟發展都一直有進步,也受到很多人的認同。他們在評鑑塔可馬的時候都把塔科馬排名在前面。譬如,在1990年,一個很有名的美國雜誌,《錢雜誌》,決定那一個美國城市有最好的生活品質,塔可馬排名第四。另一個美國雜誌,《企業家雜誌》,決定美國那一個城市是最適合小型企業發展的,塔可馬排名第一。

    塔可馬社區的經濟發展引來越來越多的投資。目前一個較大的項目是準備在2012年的6月開幕的《美國汽車博物館》。這個博物館會是全世界其中一個最大的汽車博物館,包含超過五百部汽車,卡車,和摩同車。《美國汽車博物館》也會有一些李梅夫婦所收藏的二十世紀汽車。這個博物館蓋在塔可馬圓頂的旁邊。塔可馬圓頂舉行很多大型的活動,也是世界上最大的劇目體育場。由此可見,塔可馬的環境非常適合一家人居住,社區的發展也一直在提高人們的生活品質。

  10. 塔可瑪介紹文件:
    塔可瑪是一個很好的程式。塔可瑪在華盛頓州皮爾斯縣,就離西雅圖開要一個小時。
    其實塔可瑪有本名。在1873 年,塔可瑪成為北太平洋鐵路公司的西方總站以後,”夢想之城”就成為了塔可瑪的別名。最很有意思是從哪兒塔可瑪的名字來的。 ”塔可瑪“這個城市的名字是從雷尼爾山的印第安名字“Tacobet”來的,意思是水之母。晴天的時候,在塔可瑪能看到雷尼尔山,跟塔可瑪一樣漂亮。
    在塔可瑪市區2009工作的員工義工有四萬多人。根據2010年的調查,從去年增加了百分之三十三的勞工。很容易看到市區有越來越多的工作機會。不只是塔可瑪市區真特別。
    塔可瑪有很大的公園。 Point Defiance公園是全國第二大的城市公園,大概七百畝,只比紐約的中央公園小,那個公園大概八百畝。有一個動物園離Point Defiance很近,叫《Point Defiance動物園和水族箱》。
    這是一個程式趣談。賓。克羅斯比(英文Bing Crosby)是一位很老的以前的美國歌星和演員。美國目前這一代的父母可能都知道他是誰。他最有名的事是一片電影叫《白聖誕節》,他也唱很多聖誕節歌。其實賓。克羅斯比是在塔可瑪出生的。在1903年五月三日, 賓。克羅斯比在他爸爸健的房子出生的,這個房子還在北 J街1123號,就是一家博物館。
    到塔可瑪工作、學習或者去玩兒都好選擇。塔可瑪很漂亮,很好玩兒,有好發展。

  11. 塔可玛是我上大学的城市。我对它很熟悉,可是塔可玛肯定有一些陌生部分。但总体上我了解这个城市。塔可玛有特别的历史,文化,和经济。

    塔可玛的名字是从雷尼爾山的印第安名字“Tacobet”来的,意思是水之母。但是在1873年,塔可玛成为北太平洋铁路公司的西方总站。它成为西方总站以后就有,“梦想之城”这个别名。它有这个名字因为塔可玛有这个新的铁路总站让当地人很有机会。那时候的人非常有希望。塔可玛就成为工业和商业发展中心。但是现在这个铁路总站变成一个法院,现在只是轻轨。

    塔可玛埠是北美第六大的集装箱货港,占地超过2,400英亩,排名全球集装箱贸易前25位。港口服务包括15家轮船公司和两条横贯大陆的铁路。在皮尔斯县,超过两万八千的工作都跟塔可玛港口的活动有关。跟1993年类似的研究来比,工作机会提高了百分之二十五。

    塔可玛有Point Defiance公园!这个公园是美国第二大的城市公园。超过七百英亩,它只比纽约的中央小。里面有一条路,可以开车,人也可以走,这条路有五英里远。每年在这个公园有很多活动,比如说跑步比赛和各种节日的庆祝活动。每年Point Defiance公园吸引两百万人。它有自然森林和非常漂亮风景,真是个有意思的地方。在这你有很多机会做户外活动比如露营,骑自行车,帆船,和皮艇。

    塔可玛有很多好玩和有意思的事。去走一走找你自己最喜欢的地方。
