II – Read the two texts. Say
what places they are about.
Do
you know where the Hawaiian Islands are? Do you what country they belong to?
They are I the central part of the Pacific Ocean and belong to the United
States of America. Hawaii became the 50th state of the USA in 1959.
Captain Cook found these islands just a few years after he discovered
Australia. He put these islands on the map and gave a name.
The
famous Rocky Mountains in the USA begin near Denver in Colorado and go up into
Canada. South of the Rocky Mountains there are many beautiful canyons. Do you
know what a canyon is? It is a deep narrow valley. On of the biggest canyons in
the world is the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
a)Millions of
years ago, in the times of the dinosaurs, the Colorado River was much bigger.
Today, in the Grand Canyon you can see how big it really was. The word ‘grand’
means ‘very big’.
b)He called them the Sandwich Islands. Why this name? it
was not because he stopped there to have a sandwich. The Earl of Sandwich was
paying for Captain Cook’s expedition and this was how the Captain thanked the
Earl.
c)When tourists take part in Hawaiian feast, a luau,
they have fish, selfish, coconut pudding, and pineapple, music and hula
dancing. The hula dancing is one of the, most beautiful dances in the Islands.
Some Hawaiian children learn to dance it when they are two years old and it is
part of the school lessons
d)The Canyon is over 349km long and more than 1.5rm wide
in places.
e)May 1st is a lei day. A lei is a garland of
flowers which people wear round their necks. It symbolizes Hawaiian
hospitality.
f)The Canyon has many beautiful colours that change
during the day such as red, green, yellow and deep blue. A lot of tourists come
to Arizona to see this wonder of the world.

questions
Where will Mr. Green go for

new country to visit. This year he would like to go to a warm place and try
some new food, for example, some seafood. He would like to learn more about
people’s traditions, and take photos.
