请从正文部分开始听写The Statue of Liberty represents a woman holding a torch of fire. It stands on an island at the entrance to the New York City harbor. It is almost 93 meters tall, one of the tallest statues ever built. Its complete name is "Liberty Enlightening the World". The Statue of Liberty was a gift
to the people of the United States from the people of France. It was an expression of friendship and the goal of liberty shared by the people of both countries. The statue was designed and built in France. France officially presented the statue to the United States Minister to France in Paris on July 4th, 1884. The statue was then taken apart and sent to the United States. New York City celebrated with a huge parade. Since then, the Statue of Liberty has been a symbol of freedom for people all over the world.
