- Now, children, I’d like you to know some about the USA. And today we start speaking about the geographical outlook. So, please, listen to me attentively and be ready to answer the questions
- The United States of America occupy a large territory. The USA is situated in the Central part of the North American continent. It is washed by the Atlantic Ocean in the east, and by the Pacific Ocean in the west. It stretches from Canada in the north to Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico in the south.
- In size the USA is the 4th among the nations after Russia, Canada and China. The USA is divided into 3 areas: 1) Eastern area – a highland, where a big mountain chain, the Appalachians, is situated; 2) Central area – a plain; 3) Western area – which is mountainous and includes another big mountain chain, the Rocky Mountains (or the Rockies).
- The north-eastern part of the country is the region of the 5 great lakes: Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie and Ontario. The Niagara Falls, one of the main American attractions, join Lakes Erie and Ontario.
- Many rivers cross the United States. But the greatest is the mighty Mississippi. Among other big rivers are the Colorado River which rises in the Rocky Mountains, and the Missouri.
