Reading

     T.: Let's read and translate the text.

A colony is a group of people from one country who have settled in another country. Colonies were established for different reasons. Some people were looking for a new home where they could live and worship in freedom. Others were looking for wealth or power. Many colonists just wanted to become landowners. American colonists had one or more of these reasons for coming to the New World. After the United States became an independent nation, the thirteen eastern colonies became the first states. The map below shows the thirteen states that were once colonies.
