Situation 6 Reading
The following is the content of Kevin's reading from his U.S. History book.
Kevin: World War Two begin in Europe. Europe is very far from United States and so, at first, United States was not concerned. But the longer the war went on, the more the Unite States worried. Even though the United States itself was safe, many of its friends in Europe were in danger. England, in particular, was suffering from attacks by Nazi Germany. Still, this was not enough to get the United States to fight. Some people from United States even went to Canada to join the Canadian army and fight in Europe. World War Two was a true world war because it was fought in both Europe and Asia. In Asia, the Japanese were as bad as the Germans were in Europe. Finally, in 1941, the Japanese bombed United States Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Only then did the United States join the fight in World WarTwo.Ms. O'Neal stops Kevin.Ms. O’Neal: Kevin, what do you think of this reading?
Kevin: It's very interesting. My grandfather told me he joined the army in 1943, so that is after Pearl Harbor. Ms. O’Neal: Very good.
You see why history is important. In history we learn not only about our country but also about our families and ourselves.
Kevin: Yeah, when I think about it like that history is pretty fun after all. Ms. O’Neal: What do you mean "after all"? Does that mean it was boring before?
Kevin: No, that's not what I meant. Ms. O’Neal: It's okay. You can be honest.
Kevin: Honestly, it was a little boring.
