 A. Reading

Read the following text carefully.

Originally the Native Americans came from Asia. Over 20,000 years ago, they travelled
along land between Siberia and Alaska. Before the Europeans came to America, there were
over 300 different groups or tribes.
Not all tribes lived in the same way. Some tribes lived in small earth houses and grew
their own food. Some ate only the grass, nuts and fruit they could find. Other tribes were
fishermen and lived in wooden houses.
Most Native American tribes were very peaceful. They wanted to live happily with nature
and each other. They believed spirits lived in natural things such as rocks, trees or water.
They thought these spirits could bring success in hunting, farming, fighting or marriage.
They even organized special ceremonies with dancing and music for these events.
Native American songs and poetry were an important part of their tradition. Most tribes
didn’t have a written language or history, so it was a way of keeping their stories and culture
alive. Another tradition among some Native Americans was the peace pipe. Smoking this
pipe with a stranger, meant friendship and peace.
Now most Native Americans live in the empty lands west of the Mississippi River. Many
live on “reservations”, land that the Government recognizes is theirs. Native Americans do
not want their old traditions to die so they hold festivals called “pow-wows” in different
parts of the United States. They perform their dances and show their art and music. They
also have these ceremonies to help their children understand their culture and history. Two
very large festivals are the Bald Eagle Gathering in Glacier National Park, Montana, in late
October, and the United Tribes Pow Wow, which takes place each September in North
Dakota.

 Tapescript

Mari: Hi, I’m Mari. I’m here with Ron. Ron is from Hawaii. So Ron, what is so special about
Hawaii?

Ron: Well, Hawaii is my home, but to people not from Hawaii, I think Hawaii is famous for
its nice weather, its warm all year ‘round, also it’s known for its beaches. The beaches are
very nice. And it’s also known for its warm hospitality. The people are also very nice.

Mari: So can you tell me more about the weather? It’s always sunny? It never rains?

Ron: It does rain, but often it rains and it's sunny at the same time, so we have a lot of
rainbows. Hawaii is also famous for rainbows.

Mari: That’s nice. Can you tell me more about the beach?

Ron: We have beaches on all shores of the island -- all our islands. There’s many beaches to
choose from. And often, some beaches have big waves, some beaches have small waves, and
you can choose which beach to go to depending on whether you want to surf in big waves or
you want to swim where there’s no waves.

Mari: Can you tell me maybe about the nature in Hawaii?

Ron: We have forests, so there’s lots of animals, like birds, and small animals like wallabies:
we have Hawaiian wallabies and they live in the forest.

Mari: What’s a wallaby?

Ron: Wallabies, they’re those little mammals from Australia and they were introduced in
Hawaii and now they’re wild in Hawaii. They’ve become their own species.

Mari: What do they look like?

Ron: They look like little kangaroos I think.

Mari: Interesting. Any other interesting animals in Hawaii?

Ron: We have a lot of pigs, wild pigs. We like to go hunting for them and we like to eat them.

Mari: Are there any animals that live in the sea?

Ron: We have nice coral reefs, so there’s lots of beautiful fish in our coral reefs and many
people like to go snorkeling to look at our reefs. We also have turtles and seals in Hawaii.

Mari: Are there any whales?

Ron: We do have whales during the months of March till February I believe. They come from
Alaska and they come to Hawaii during those months and then they return to Alaska.
Mari: Wow, there are a lot of animals that live in Hawaii. Sounds like a great place to visit.
