Why was the bald eagle chosen as the national bird of the new country?
In 1782, soon after the United States won its independence, the bald eagle was chosen as the national bird of the new country. American leaders wanted the eagle to be a symbol of their country because it is one of the strongest birds. Today the bald eagle has almost disappeared from the country. In 1972 there were only 3,000 bald eagles in the United States. The reason for the bird’s decreasing population was pollution of rivers by pesticides. Today, the American government and the American people are trying to protect the bald eagle. We are sure that the American national bird will remain a symbol of strength and courage.

In the countryside things are not quite the same. People travel by car everywhere as buses and trains are not very frequent.

Visiting the USA has become easier recently. People who live in Argentina, Australia, Britain, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Uruguay and most European countries do not need a visa to visit the USA. They can visit for 90 days or less. All they need is a current passport and a return ticket.
Other visitors need a visa which they can apply for at the American Consulate or Embassy in their own country. This is a slightly more complicated procedure, but not too difficult.

Because of this, some parents start teaching their children when they are about three years old. Other people believe it’s better for a teacher at school to teach a class of children how to read, so many children don’t learn to read until they are five or six years old.
