What is the most important event or person in American History? Anne: Does anyone have a good opinion? Olivia: What about the American president? If we know the president, we can understand the history easily! Anne: Wow, that’s a great idea! Roy: Starting from the first president, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, the 16th, Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd, John Kennedy, 35th, and more. There are many famous ones. Anne: That’s right. George Washington has led the victory in the revolutionary war and is known as ‘the Father of the United States’ Olivia: Lincoln was the one who ended slavery system in the American civil war. Roy: And, there is a symbol of liberal democracy, John F. Kennedy. Anne: Hmm. But over 40 presidents are just too many. John: Is it really over 40? What a headache! Olivia: I think we will never finish this. Is there any other topic? John: What about a war? Shoo! Shoo! Roy: I think that s good too. The wars that changed American history, such as American civil war, revolutionary war, or even world war 1 and 2 aren t bad either. Olivia: Um.. I don’t like a war topic... It’s still a fighting! Anne: Hm. What about a life change after the war? Roy: Hm. After the world war, there was the ‘great depression’. John: That’s too hard! Anne: Then what about this? I have a great idea! Roy: What is it? Anne: We should start from the beginning of America. The moment when Columbus finds the continent! John: Shifting a viewpoint! I know Columbus very well. Olivia: I love it! Roy: Great! let’s pick a topic on Columbus, and gather information and data from every one of us! John: Yes sir! Thanks for checking out the "English Singsing". © Amanta Inc.
