The USA is a country of great differences. There are high mountains and flat fields in it, tropical heat and arctic cold (жазирама иссиқ ва совуқ).

If you want to go from San Francisco to New York by train, you must ride more than three thousand miles (юриш). It takes three days and nights. In California, where you begin your trip, the climate is usually mild all year round. The South of the country is the famous fruit-growing area. California oranges, grapefruit and lemons, as well as many other fruits and vegetables, are sent all over the United States and to other parts of the world.

Soon the train leaves those green plains goes up into the Sierra Nevada mountains covered with snow (ўтлоқлар, Сьера Невада). Here and there you can see clear mountain lakes. As the train goes east you cross the Salt Lake desert (Сольт Лейк чўли).

For miles and miles you will see nothing but salt and salt (туз). Flat fields, covered with short dry grass, go for miles and miles. This is a sheep and cattle country, the land of the cowboys (отлиқ подачи, чўпон, ковбой). As you cross it, you may want to know where the people of America are. From time to time you may see a few cattle on the field or the wagon of a cowboy but most of the country is empty (фургон машина).

As the train crosses Nebraska, you leave the empty country and enter the rich farming region of America (Небраска). Nebraska has many golden wheat fields (олтин ботоқли бўғдой далалари). In Iowa wheat and corn are important products (штат номи). After two days, the train arrives in Chicago, the second largest city in the United States.

Then you cross Pensylvania and New Jersey - the richest industrial states of the country and at last arrive in New York, the largest city in the USA. The trip will not show you all America, of course. Each region has its own characteristics. There are many large and modern cities, but a great territory of the country is large plains with farm houses and small towns. The usual town in any part of the United States has its «main street» with the same types of shops and a market selling the same products (сотадиган). So many American towns have the same look (бир хил шундай кўринишга эга).

Niagara Falls is the best known natural wonder in the USA (Нигара шаршараси табиий мўжиза). It is visited by a greater number of people from America and abroad than any other places on the continent.

Niagara Falls is situated between New York and Chicago. Niagara is an Indian word which means «roaring waters» (ўкираётган, бўкираётган сув). Indeed the roar of the falling water can be heard at a distance of 25 Kilometres (ҳақиқатан)..

A mass of water is falling over a cliff 90 feet high- 27 metres with a terrible noise (қоядан қўрқинчли овоз). Niagara has very great power (куч). It can move big rocks and throw them into the waters.

Some time ago an old ship without anyone on board was put in the stream (оқимга, тўлқинга). It sailed down the river like a toy boat. When it got to the fall, the ship went under the waters and was never seen again. There were people who wanted to become famous by swimming across the most dangerous part of the Niagara River (жуда қўрқинчли қисмида). One of them was Captain Webb who was known as the first man to swim it. On the evening of July 24,1883 he came up to the river and dived in (шунғиди). Many people were present there soon the man appeared in the middle of the river. A loud shout went up from the crowd, but a moment later the man went under the water (ҳалойиқдан шовқин кўтарилди). Thousand of eyes were looking at the river, but the man was drowned (чўкди). In 1902 a young woman decided to go over the falls in a barrel (бочкада). There were many pillows inside the barrel. When Miss Taylor examined the barrel carefully, she got in. The barrel was closed and then thrown into the river. When the barrel reached the falls it was sailed down by the terrible force of water (сувни кучли кучи бйлан сузиб кетди). The barrel was caught and opened. Miss Taylor came out alive but very much frightened.

Niagara Falls is beautiful, but all the time changes. Many great writers tried to describe it. The Niagara River gives electric power too (электр энергия). More than a million horse power is produced now at Niagara for local use and is sent to cities, towns in New York State and Canada (миллион от кучи, маҳаллий зарурият эҳтиёж).
