Listening
Speaking about the discovery of America we know nothing about the people who lived there.
Columbus called them Indians because he thought he had reached India.
a) Useful vocabulary:
Read these words and guess what they mean:
shiny beads papayas hammocks avocados canoes
b) Listen to the text and say what new things Columbus and his people saw on the continent. (Play the tape twice)
Tapescript
The Indians have never seen men with swords. Why have they come? What will they do? Columbus gives the Indians shiny beads and tiny bells. The Indians give Columbus soft, cool cloth and colorful birds. People in Europe do not have cotton or parrots. The Indians are wearing gold rings.
Columbus sails further west to look for gold. He visits other islands. He meets more Indians. Most are friendly and helpful. They live in grass houses. They sleep in rope beds called hammocks. They travel in long boats called canoes. Columbus sees many new things.
Soon Columbus is ready to sail back to Spain with many new kinds of food-corn, sweet potatoes, tobacco, peanuts, papayas and avocados.
For the rest of his life, Columbus never knows how truly great his discovery is. It is called America!
c) People in Spain and even in Europe had never seen Indians and had never eaten corn, potatoes before Columbus’ travel. But nowadays all these things are ordinary things.
Have you ever slept in hammocks?
Have you ever traveled in long boats called canoes?

“The Plains Indians”
The Plains Indians didn’t live in one place. When they traveled, dogs carried and pulled their things. They didn’t use horses. When Spanish people arrived in America, some of their horses escaped. The Indians learned to ride the horses and used them when they hunted buffaloes.
The Indians cooked the buffalo meat. They used the skins for clothes and shoes. They used tipis, tents made of buffalo skins, and they painted them with pictures.
Indians loved their children. Mothers carried babies on their backs. Children didn’t go to school! They learned everything from their parents. They played with dolls and had fighting competitions. They played in rivers in the summer and in the snow in the winter.
Life for the Indians changed when Europeans arrived. Standing Bear, an Indian chief, said, “The plains were not wild for us. Then people arrived from the East and the “Wild West” started”.
