I. Read the text.

Yellowstone National Park is the first national park in the world. You can do a lot of exciting things there. You can sail on the rivers and swim in the lakes. But be careful about some hot springs. They are colourful lakes with hot water. In some hot springs the water is too hot to swim. Sometimes this hot water goes high up in the air and you can watch exciting geysers. Lots of people take selfies next to them. You can also take photos of beautiful waterfalls – you only need to walk in the canyon.

Many people visit the Glacier National Park to see one of its 25 glaciers. A glacier is moving ice. The park is also popular because of its mountains. The peaks – the tops of the mountains – are high. Climbing is dangerous so it’s better to look and take photos or try to find some caves in the mountains! There are lakes and rivers so you can sail a boat. You can ride horses with your family and in winter you can go skiing.
