We show by elementary methods that there are symplectic embeddings from standard (R2n, ω0) into (Σ x R2n−2, ω ⊕ ω0) and (T2n−2k x R2k, ω ⊕ ω0), where (Σ, ω) is a closed two-dimensional symplectic manifold, and (T2n−2k, ω) is the torus with a constant symplectic form ω. Some estimates of Gromov's symplectic capacity are given for bounded domains in these manifolds.
