Handout 2 The wild side of the USA

The United States is bigger than a lot of other countries, so it has a more
varied landscape. There are beautiful tropical beaches in Florida on the
east coast (Atlantic Ocean) and California on the west coast (Pacific
Ocean). There are also high peaks in America. The Rocky Mountains,
which stretch north - south almost 5,000 km from Canada to the USA,
have snow - capped mountains, green valleys and pine forests.
In the Midwest the Mississippi River irrigates the land before flowing
south to the sea, making the soil one of the most fertile in the world. This
is also the region of the Great Lakes and their connecting channels, which
together form a very large fresh water system. The Niagara River
connects two of the lakes, Erie and Ontario, and sends up to 3,000 m of
water per second over the spectacular Niagara Falls!
The US also has arid deserts, where little vegetation grows. The Great
Basin Desert in the north - west has colder temperatures and higher
altitudes, while further south Death Valley in the Mojave Desert is much
hotter and drier than any other desert in America.
There is a great choice of National Parks across the USA: the Grand
Canyon, with its colorful rocks and deep gorge, Yosemite, with its
powerful waterfalls; or Mount McKinley in Alaska, which is actually
higher than Mount Everest, from base to peak, but is lower because
Everest sits on the Tibetan Plateau, over 5,000 m above sea level.
America also has lots of volcanoes, some of which are still very
dangerous Mount St Helens in Washington State erupted in 1980, killing
people and destroying their homes.
Nearly 318 million people live in the United States Although the country
is more or less as large as Canada, there is a much higher population
density with 34 inhabitants per km, compared with only 3.7 in Canada!

Handout 2 The Worst Jobs in History!

What were the worst jobs in history? In Roman Britain, it was perhaps
the work of the gold miners, which was difficult, boring and dangerous and
often an unpaid punishment for criminals.

In Saxon Britain (4th - 11th century AD), many farmers were also
bricklayers and bakers all at the same time, and there wasn't any pay for their
work, which was physically hard and dirty without machinery to help them.

During the Middle Ages, working conditions were difficult for the
barber surgeons (a kind of doctor and hairdresser) who were responsible for
people's hair and their serious illnesses without much equipment, information
or medicine to help them!

In the 16th century, theatre jobs were only for men. Shakespeare's Juliet
was a boy with heavy make - up, not a girl! It wasn't a stylish or a respectable
job, as there was no pay, the make-up was poisonous and the women's clothes
were very uncomfortable!

During the 17th century, the work of painters in churches and cathedrals
was infinite and very dangerous, but the painters themselves weren't famous
or well - paid.

In Georgian Britain (18th - 19th century), the job of an artist's model
was also poorly paid, tiring, boring and physically heavy, as it was necessary
to hold uncomfortable poses for a very long time

Finally, during the 20th century people were responsible for extremely
repetitive and boring tasks as office workers. Even the writer Charles Dickens
was the office boy for a lawyer when young! So, was there a worst job in
history? No there wasn't just one. There were lots of them!
