23. Activity 1 Listening
Listen and choose the correct words
Direction:
Listen to the audio visual about
“Who really discovered America?.”
Then circle the correct words.

24. Columbus was an Italian sailor and cartographer.
In 1492 he (sell /sailed) from Spain with three (ships /
sheep ). He traveled west across the ocean to
(find / fine) a new route to Asia for buying and selling
goods. After two months at sea Columbus and his
men
( reached / rich ) The Bahamas—he discovered America.
Many Europeans then traveled across the Atlantic Ocean
to make new settlements in America. America became
known as the “New World.”

25. However, Columbus was not the first European to arrive
in America. Almost 500 years earlier, a young Viking
explorer named Leif Eriksson traveled (west / wet ) from
Greenland, looking for new lands he had ( hurt / heard )
about. Greenlanders’Saga, a story written about Eriksson’s
adventures, (tail / tells ) how he found a rocky land. He also
saw forests and white sandy (beaches / beat). He made a
settlement on an (Ireland/island) ,which he named Vinland
(land of vines). His old settlement has been found on the
island of Newfoundland in Canada.

26. Even though he found America much later
than Eriksson and by accident, Columbus is still
credited with the discovery. “Columbia” is the
name of a university, a movie company, a space
shuttle and even a country. But Leif Eriksson’s
name is (hard / heart) to find anywhere.
