США
Соединенные Штаты Америки-четвертая по величине страна мира (после России, Канады и Китая). Она занимает южную часть Северной Америки и простирается от Тихого океана до Атлантического. Она также включает в себя Аляску на севере и Гавайи в Тихом океане. Общая площадь страны составляет около девяти с половиной миллионов квадратных километров. США граничит с Канадой на севере и с  Мексикой на юге. Она также имеет морские границы с Россией.
США состоит из 50 Штатов и округа Колумбия, особой Федеральной области, где находится столица страны, Вашингтон. Население страны более 270 миллионов человек.
Если мы посмотрим на карту США, мы можем увидеть низменности и горы.
Самые высокие горы Скалистые горы или Кордильеры и Сьерра-Невада. Самая высокая вершина-Гора Мак-Кинли, которая находится  на Аляске.
В Америке крупнейшие реки: Миссисипи, Миссури, Рио-Гранде и Колумбия. Великие озера на границе с Канадой являются самыми большими и самыми глубокими в США.
Климат страны очень различный. Самые холодные регионы находятся на севере. Климат Аляски-арктический. Климат в центральной части-континентальный. Юг имеет субтропический климат. Горячие ветры, дующие с Мексиканского залива часто приносят тайфуны. Климат на Тихоокеанском побережье намного теплее, чем на Атлантическом побережье.
США-высокоразвитая промышленная страна. Это ведущий в мире производитель меди и нефти и второй в мире производитель железной руды и угля. Среди наиболее важных отраслей обрабатывающей промышленности - самолеты, автомобили, текстиль, радио и телевизоры, оружие, мебель и бумага.
Хотя в основном американцы европейского и африканского происхождения, в массе они состоят почти из всех рас и наций, включая китайцев и коренных американцев.
Наиболее крупные города: Нью-Йорк, Лос-Анджелес, Чикаго, Филадельфия, Детройт, Сан-Франциско, Вашингтон и другие.
Соединенные Штаты-Федеральный Союз 50 государств, каждое из которых имеет свое собственное правительство. Место центрального (федерального) правительства-Вашингтон, округ Колумбия. Согласно Конституции США полномочия правительства делятся на 3 ветви: исполнительная во главе с президентом, законодательная, принадлежит Конгрессу, и судебная. Конгресс состоит из Сената и Палаты представителей.
