A. California is a state on the west coast of North America. It has the largest population of any of the U.S. states and one of the best economies in the world. Many people know California because of Hollywood and the film industry, as well as Silicon Valley, the global center of high technology, Internet and computers.

B. Texas is a state in the south of the United States. It is a very big state, smaller only than Alaska. Throughout most of its history, Texas has been dominated by four main industries: oil, cotton, timber and cattle. The importance of the cattle industry to the state’s economy led to the traditional image of the Texas cowboy.

C. Nevada is a state in the Western region of the United States. Officially it is known as the “Silver State” because of the important role silver has played in its history and economy. Nevada is probably best known for its largest city - Las Vegas. Las Vegas is known all over the world as a resort city, famous for its gambling, shopping, entertainment, restaurants and shows.

D. Washington is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is named after the first president of the U.S., George Washington. Washington is one of the richest and most progressive states in the country. Many consider it to be the best state in the U.S. with its culture, beautiful nature, and the best food and coffee.

E. Utah is a state in the Western region of the United States. Due to its beautiful nature it is a popular tourist destination. Utah claims to have “the greatest snow on Earth”. The snow density is 8.5% which, apparently, is the perfect balance of wetness and fluffiness. Maybe this is what convinced the International Olympic Committee to host the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, the capital of Utah​
