An exercise for B2

Αγαπητό Β2, όσο το Β1 θα εργάζεται σε αυτά που θα τους δώσω σύγχρονα, εσείς, αφού η εφαρμογή e-me assignments δε λειτουργεί κανονικά, μέχρι που να βρεθούμε σύγχρονα να διαβάσετε το παρακάτω κείμενο (που μοιάζει με αυτό του Unit 1 του βιβλίου σας) και να κάνετε την άσκηση. Τις απαντήσεις σας θα μου τις στείλετε με προσωπικό μήνυμα στο e-me, εφόσον είστε όλοι στις επαφές μου. Οι απαντήσεις θα δίνονται ως εξής: 1. Τ, 2. ΝG (δεν αναφέρεται) κλπ.  Ερωτήσεις μπορείτε να κάνετε στον τοίχο, εδώ σαν σχόλιο πατώντας "σχολιάστε", ή και με μήνυμα...

THE FIRST AMERICANS

According to science, modern humans first appeared in Africa. They spread all over the world. But how did they reach America?

Today North and South America are joined together and separated from Europe by an ocean. But thousands of years ago it wasn't so. There was a land bridge called Beringia (Bering Strait) that connected America with Asia (see the map!). People could walk from Asia to America and they did not need boats to travel.

People in those times were nomads who followed the animals that they hunted. They also needed new land to gather fruit and berries. Over hundreds of years they followed the animals and travelled huge distances. At around 11.000 years ago these people came to America.

These Indians settled all over North and South America. There were many different groups of Indians. The historians put them into 2 groups:

  1. ENVIRONMENTS (where people live) If the Indians lived by the sea then they fished. If they lived in forests or plains, then they hunted animals.

 2. LANGUAGES: (how people speak) There were probably about 200 different languages. The Indians did not write down their languages. So our knowledge comes from what white people saw and wrote. Many of white people did not like the Indians.
