US CITIES: Vocabulary builder for ESL students: ATLANTA, GA

Here's a new way to learn and practice English: We've developed a series of exercises based on descriptions of some of the most famous American cities. Here's a description of Atlanta, GA. Read it and choose the right word for each blank space :) Good luck!

Atlanta is the (capital/capitol) and the most (population/populous) city of the state of Georgia. It is a very big city, and over the past 20 years, it has seen rapid (urbane/urban) sprawl, (economic/economical) development, and growth. In the last decade, the Atlanta (metropolis/metropolitan) area added over 1,150,000 residents - the fourth-largest gain of any metropolitan area in the United States. Many of these people came here to work - After the Olympics in 1996, Atlanta became more well- (known/famous) as an attractive place to live. At the time, the economy here was (rising/booming). Atlanta is currently (recognized/admitted) as one of the main cities of the "New South". It is famous for being the home of CNN and Coca Cola. Even though Atlanta is in the American South, it's actually rare to hear Southern accents on the street, partly because many people who live here are (originally/effectively) from out of (state/luck).
