Listen

Listen to the text and say which statements are true.

The word that may best describe Texas is ’big’. After Alaska it’s the second largest state in the United States. The name Texas comes from a Native American word meaning ’friends’, and the motto of the state is ’Friendship’. The states’ nickname is the ’Lone Star State’, because it has the only star on its flag. Texas has a unique history. After becoming independent from Mexico in 1836, it was a separate country for nearly 10 years! Texas was home to the cowboy, the hero of the American Wild West and also home to the first rodeo, a competition to see who is the best at riding a wild horse or a bull, roping a cow or shooting. It was held in 1883. Rodeos are still very popular in Texas.
