Unit 16 The United States ofAmericaPeriod One Listening and speakingActivity 1. A brief introduction to The United States of AmericaThe USA is a very young country in the world, which has only a history of 200~300 years. Most people in the country are immigrates. The head office of the UN was set up there. Two World Wars didn’t take place there. Now it is the strongest country of the world.Activity2. Look at the map of USA on P41 to find out the following cities: New York, Washington, Florida, Texas, California,Alaska. Then please look at the two pictures and tell whatplaces they are.Suggested answers:The first picture ：It is the famous White House, where the president of the US works and lives with his family. It is made of gray stone and called the President’s Palace During the war of 1812,it was burned by British soldiers. Afterwards, it was rebuilt. The walls were painted white to cover up marks left by the fire. Then people began calling the President’s Palace the White House. The name caught onand has remained in use ever since.The second picture：It was taken before the date September 11,2001，because in the picture, we can see many skyscrapers. Among them, the World Trade Centre and the Empire State Building are most famous, but now the World Trade Centre is already gone. It was exploded by terrorists. New York is America’s cultural capital, where there is the statue of Liberty, the skyscrapers, the beautiful shops on Fifth Avenue, and the many theatres on Broadway. Manhattan, the smallest island in New York, is the real centre of the city. When people say “New York City”they usually mean Manhattan. In 1605,the first Europeans came to Manhattan from Holland. They bought the island from the American Indians for a few glass necklaces, worth about $26.The most crowded part of New York is perhaps Harlem, where most Black Americans live. The crime rate is among the highest in the Western world.Activity 3. Pre-listeningFinish Exercise 1&2 on p41&42Activity 4. Listening practiceFinish Exercises 2&3 on p42.Activity 5.
