Let's read and translate the text about George Washington.
George
Washington.
The first US President known to all
Americans as “The Father of the Nation” was George Washington. George was born
in Virginia in a planter’s family. When the boy was eleven his father died. The
family had a lot of land but not enough money to send George to school in
England as rich families used to do at that time. The boy went to a private
school and, later ,two private teachers taught him to be a soldier and a
Virginia gentleman. George learned to ride a horse, to hunt, shoot, sail and
swim. Because he was good at arithmetic, he also learned to measure land. The
young man went to faraway parts of the country to measure land for those who
built their houses there. He spent hours on horseback in all kinds of weather.
He learned to sleep out , cook his own meals, and work hard every day. Everyone
liked and trusted young George.
George Washington began his career in
the service of his country as a major in the Virginia militia and later became
Commander in Chief of the Colonial Army during the Revolutionary War. He was
among those who wrote the US Constitution in Philadelphia. People respected him
for his courage, honesty and wisdom.
After the Revolutionary War
Washington wanted to retire and live at Mount Vernon where he had a beautiful
house and a big plantation. But he knew that his duty was to serve his country.
He hurried off to New York City which was the capital then. On April,30,
1789,before a large crowd Washington promised to “preserve, protect, and defend
the Constitution of the United States”. This is how George Washington became
the first President of the country and served two terms. He refused a third
term and in 1797 he retired to Mount Vernon where he died two years later.
