leisure time

Leisure time: hours free from work, time that people can use as the see fit.

More than 70 years ago, moot workers worked about fifty-nine hours per week in the United States.

In the 1970’s the number of hours on the job sometimes dropped below forty hours per week.

That is almost twenty fewer hours spent at work than in 1900. As time passes, we might see workers on the job even less than that, they have more leisure time.

The Land

The American land is like the American people: diverse people divide it into parts called regions.

Regions: The United States may be divided into landform regions.

Landform: areas that have the same types of land throughout.

In the United States:

From east to west: most of the land near the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of the Mexico is plain.

North: The coastal plains region is rocky

South: Sandy

In some places, great swamps stretch for hundreds of miles.

Away from coast, the soil is rich and red.
