Составьте 10 вопросов к тексту people often say that the united states is a “country of immigrants”. it is true. the first of them came to the new world from europe at the beginning of the 17th century. now, in the 21st century, america takes in more immigrants than any other country. they come from all over the world looking for a fresh start. that’s why there are so many different cultural traditions in the usa. but it won’t be correct to say that the united states is simply a collection of different immigrant groups. it is not true that there are more irish, more germans and more italians living in new york than there are in dublin, frankfurt or rome. in fact, 94 percent of all americans today were born in the united states. you may hear that people describe america as a “melting pot”1 or a “salad bowl”. maybe a better metaphor will be that of a “pizza”. (by the way, it is the most popular food in america.) pizza has a lot of different ingredients in it which give the whole its very special taste. so all of them together turn the pizza into something larger and something different. this is also true about the country.
