The Discovery of America
Everybody knows that the word America can mean different
things. First of all America is the name of the country whose
official name is the
United States of America.
Then Ameri ca is the name (сократите текст на Английском)
of the two continents —
North America and South
America.
Christopher Columbus discovered
America in 1492.
He was the first man from
Europe to get there.
Christopher was born in
1451 in Italy but he lived
in Spain for many years. Columbus was a seaman and made a
lot of sea voyages. In those days people in Europe were much
interested in India and other countries which were situated in
Asia because ships sailed east to Asia and brought gold and
other riches from those places. A lot of seamen sailed east
and came back rich people.
Like many people of his time Columbus knew that our planet
is round. He was sure he could also get to India if he sailed
west.
In 1492 the King and Queen of Spain gave Columbus money
and ships to make a voyage to India. So with three small
ships Columbus and his men sailed west. They sailed for three
weeks and then on October 12, they saw an island. It was
situated in Central America. But Columbus didn’t know that
then. He thought he was in Asia and gave the people he met
on the island the name of Indians. Altogether1
Columbus made
four voyages to America
before he died in 1506.
People began to speak
about the new land as “the
New World” saying that
Columbus’s disco very was
one of the most important
things in history. Many
people know these words:
“In fourteen hundred and
ninety two Columbus sailed
the ocean blue.”

Открытие Америки
Всем известно, что слово Америка может означать разные
вещи. Прежде всего, Америка - это название страны, чья
официальное название
Соединенные Штаты Америки.
Тогда Ameri ca - это имя (сократите текст на Английском)
двух континентов -
Северная Америка и Южная
Америка.
Христофор Колумб обнаружил
Америка в 1492 году.
Он был первым человеком из
Европа, чтобы туда добраться.
Кристофер родился в
1451 в Италии, но он жил
в Испании в течение многих лет. Колумб был моряком и сделал
много морских путешествий. В те времена люди в Европе были очень
заинтересованные в Индии и других странах, которые находились в
Азии, потому что корабли отплыли на восток в Азию и принесли золото и
другие богатства из этих мест. Многие моряки отплыли на восток
и вернулись богатые люди.
Как и многие люди своего времени, Колумбус знал, что наша планета
круглая. Он был уверен, что он может также добраться до Индии, если он плывет
запад.
В 1492 году король и королева Испании дали деньги Колумба
и корабли, чтобы совершить плавание в Индию. Таким образом, с тремя небольшими
корабли Колумбус и его люди отплыли на запад. Они отплыли на три
недель, а затем 12 октября они увидели остров. Это было
расположенный в Центральной Америке. Но Колумб не знал, что
тогда. Он думал, что он в Азии и дал людям, которых он встретил
на острове имя индейцев. Altogether1
Колумб сделал
четыре рейса в Америку
прежде чем он умер в 1506 году.
Люди начали говорить
о новой земле как о
Новый мир ", заявив, что
Дискотека Колумба была очень
один из наиболее важных
вещи в истории. Многие
люди знают эти слова:
«В четырнадцати сотнях
Девяносто два Колумбуса отплыли
синий океан. "
