A Short history of American Growth and Immigration

Columbus _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ( discovered )America in 1492. It ______ (be) the first time that most Europeans
(hear) about the “New World.”

1. The Spanish (take) advantage of the discovery immediately. During the next
century, they (find) and (fight) with the greatest nations of the Americas
in order to conquered them. By 1600 they (have) lucrative colonies in Mexico, Peru, and
the Caribbean.

2. The English (begin) permanent settlements in the Americas in a higher percentage

more than the century after the Spanish, starting with Jamestown in 1607.

In 1620-21, the local Indians helped the Pilgrims survive their difficult first year in New England.
That story of cooperation (be-singular) one of the few bright
moments in the conflictive history between the English settlers and the native American tribes.

3. During the 17th and 18th centuries (1607-1775), 13 English colonies _(be- plural)
established in the area that (become) the United States. People (come)
to the colonies from England and Scotland, as well as from France, Germany, and other parts of
Europe.

4. In addition, slave traders (bring) many Africans to work the land as slaves. Slaves
(be- plural) (buy) and (sell) in the U.S. until the 1860s, although many
Americans opposed slavery.

5. The British government _______ (do) not want the colonies to expand to the west. In part, it
_____ (be- singular) trying to protect the Indians. Legal limits (do) not stop the land-hungry
settlers, however. Before the American Revolution as well as after, many hunters, trappers, and
then settlers, (go) west looking for opportunity.

6. After the U.S. (win) its independence, it (grow) even more rapidly. In 1803
the U.S. (buy) the Louisiana Territory from France and doubled in size. More immigrants
(come) to the U.S. from all over Europe.

Describe your birthplace or a favorite place which did you have visited before, minimum ten sentences.

My Town  – Newquay

I live in Newquay. It’s a fantastic town on the Atlantic coast in the south of
England. It has got wonderful beaches and it is the best place to surf in the
UK. There are lots of surf schools where you can learn how to surf easy and
fast. I go surfing with my best friends every weekend. My favourite place is
Fistral Beach.
I love Newquay because there are lots of other things to do near the beach. If
you like water sports, you could go kayaking, water-skiing or coasteering. Coasteering is not a water sport
because it is rock climbing, jumping into the sea and swimming in the same activity, but you should always go
with a special instructor.
If you like animals you can also visit the Blue Reef Aquarium and see lots of different fish and even sharks. You
can also go horse riding on the beach or visit Newquay Zoo. There are lots of other attractions too such as mini
golf and bowling. Come and see by yourself!
Best regards Alex Howarth.
*Rock climbing: scale mountains
