"США. География и символы"

 для учащихся  6-х классов от 2 мая 2017 года

  Card № 5    

 You are to give a talk about the USA.  

Remember to say:  

 -  what you know about the geographical position of the USA; 

 - how many states there are in the USA;  

 - what official symbols you know.  

    I'd like to give a talk about the USA. The USA is the 4th largest country in the world. It is situated in central North America, between Canada (in the north) and Mexico (in the south). The USA has a sea-border with Russia. The USA is washed by the Pacific Ocean in the west, by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, by the Carribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico in the south. In the north are Great Lakes.  The size of the country is really very large. Thanks to its size, the country has almost every kind of climate, scenery and people. One can see rocky coasts, dry empty deserts, big rivers, wide plains and grasslands, lakes of all sizes, high mountains, great forests, sunny beaches, lands of endless winter. There are a lot of parks, and wildlands where you can enjoy the beauty and power of wild America. The Grand Canyon, Yosemity Valley, and Yellowstone are among them. The longest river is the Mississippi.  The famous mountain chains are the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians.

    There are 50 states in the USA. Two of these states, Alaska and Hawaii, are not connected to the other states. The capital of the USA is Washington, D.C. It is situated on a special territory which doesn't belong to any state - District of Columbia. 

   I know some official symbols of the country. One of them is the eagle. It holds arrows and an olive branch. The olive branch and arrows are symbols for the power of peace and war. The eagle symbolizes power.  Another symbol is the American flag. It is called "The Stars and Stripes". The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America, and the 13 stripes represent the 13 British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and became the first states in the US. There is another symbol. It is the Statue of Liberty. It is situated on Liberty Island in New York Harbour in New York City. It was the gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States.  

I'd like to visit the USA because the country is full of natural wonders. Besides, there are a lot of great cities where one can see many attractions.

 That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
