The USA
The territory of the United States of America stretches from the Atlantic coast, across the central plains, over the Rocky Mountains to the densely populated west coast and then to the island state Hawaii.
At present the population of the USA is about two hundred and thirty nine million. The USA is called the “nation of immigrants”. The country was settled, built and developed by generations of immigrants and their children. Many different social and cultural traditions, ethic sympathies, racial groups and religious affiliations make up the people of the USA.
The United States of America was founded in 1776. The Constitution was adopted in 1787. Since then more than 25 amendments to the Constitution have been made.

I (decide) to go down to the village and use the public phone to call Alan. He’s my boyfriend. I never (like) Mum or Dad to be around when I (talk) to him. Especially yesterday, because Dad and I (have) a stupid argument about Alan the day before. It normally (take) quarter of an hour to walk to the village. Perhaps, it (take) less time last night. I can’t prove I (go) to the village. No one (see) me when I (walk) into the village. I (see) Gerald, that’s Dad’s business partner. He (stand) near the window in his sitting-room. He (no/see) me, though, because it was dark outside. He (talk) on the phone, I think. Alan (not/answer) the phone. Then I remember he (tell) he (play) in a concert that evening. So (I walk) home again. I (meet) Gerald just before I (reach) our house. He (look) for his dog. That was about twenty to ten. I came in by the back door and went to bed. I didn’t want to see my parents again that evening.
