Are you a crazy chocolate fan? Have you heard about Hershey's Kisses? Do you love the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? If your answer was, "yes", to any of the questions, then my experience will make you jealous (妒忌的). I just went to the famous Hershey Chocolate Factory!
The other day we drove from Washington DC to the small town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. When we arrived at the factory, we realized that this was much more than just a factory. The whole town is a chocolate-themed amusement park. The sweet smell of chocolate is on every street corner. There are even road signs that say things like, "Chocolate Ave(大道)" and "Cake St.".
As we were walking towards the park, Jason, our tour guide, began telling us about this quiet little town. Hershey chocolate has been a brand in the world over the past hundred years. It is the biggest company that makes and sells chocolate in America," he started. "I guess you get the chocolate in China, don't you?"
I nodded(点头) without thinking. How could I possibly not know those lovely little candies when I've been eating them all these years?
Jason went on, "The factory first started on a small farm. It developed very fast. So they built this town for factory workers to live in. Then they built hotels, hospitals, stadiums(体育馆), theaters and even museums with the theme of chocolate. Isn't that cool?"
"Yes, a hundred times yes!" I yelled (叫喊 )with delight.
