“Living in the USA” (P. 16)

I read this book. The title of the book is “The USA”. It is a little difficult to understand, but it is very interesting book. What do you think about the United States? What does America mean to you? Skyscrapers, President George Washington, President Kennedy, fast food, big cars, cowboys, black people ivory, or something? I think that the United States is famous for American football, baseball, ice hockey, basketball, the Statue of Liberty, fast food, Central Park, Grand Canyon, and Times Square. There are a lot of famous places in the United States, too. Think of a big, empty land with mountains, forests, lakes, animals and fish, but no people. This was America 30,000 years ago. I can’t believe it. It has a lot of history in the United States. You know that there are 50 states in the United States, don’t you? I didn't know that Florida was known as the “Sunset State” because it was so warm and sunny. Many people who live in the United States like fast food. In addition, pizza, hamburger, steak, Coca-Cola, and the others are very huge. I want to go to the United States, but I don’t want to gain weight.
