Âm nhạc dân gian Hoa Kỳ bắt nguồn từ những người bình thường vào thời điểm dân số nông thôn bị cô lập và âm nhạc vẫn chưa được truyền bằng radio, ghi âm hoặc video âm nhạc. Nó được truyền miệng và được ghi nhận vì năng lượng, sự hài hước và ảnh hưởng cảm xúc của nó. Nguồn gốc chủ yếu của các bài hát dân gian Hoa Kỳ là nhạc của Quần đảo Anh, nhưng những bài hát từ Châu Phi như những bài hát của người da đỏ Mỹ có một phần quan trọng trong di sản các bài hát dân gian. Sau đó những người định cư từ các nước khác cũng đóng góp các bài hát. Vào thế kỷ thứ mười chín, nhà soạn nhạc Steven Foster đã viết một số bài hát nổi tiếng nhất của tất cả các bài hát của Mỹ, mà ngay sau đó trở thành một phần của nhạc dân gian truyền thống. Bắt đầu từ những năm 1930, Woody Guthrie trở nên nổi tiếng với việc sử dụng giai điệu và lời bài hát cũng như cung cấp những bài hát mới. Trong những năm 1950 và 1960, ca sĩ - nhà soạn nhạc như Peter Seeger, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez tiếp tục truyền thống này bằng âm nhạc dân gian đô thị. Nhiều trong số những bài hát này đề cập đến vấn đề xã hội quan trọng, như hội nhập chủng tộc và chiến tranh ở Việt Nam.

One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, the Great Pyramid of Giza was a monument of wisdom and prophecy built as a tomb for Pharaoh Cheops in 2720 B.C. Despite its antiquity, certain aspects of its construction makes it one of the truly wonders of the world. The thirteen- acre structure near the Nile river is a solid mass of stone blocks covered with limestone. Inside are the number of hidden passageways and the burial chamber of the Pharaoh. It is the largest single structure in the world. The four sides of the pyramid are aligned almost exactly on true north, south, east and west-an incredible engineering feat. The ancient Egyptians were sun worshippers and great astronomers, so computations for the Great Pyramid were based on astronomical observations.
Explorations and detailed examinations of the base of the structure reveal many intersecting lines. Further scientific study indicates that these represent a type of timeline of events – past, present and future. Many of the events have been interpreted and found to coincide with known facts of the past. Others are prophesied for future generations and are currently under investigation. Many believe that pyramids have supernatural powers and this one is no exception. Some researchers even associate it with extraterrestrial beings of ancient past.
Was this superstructure made by ordinary beings, or one built by a race far superior to any known today?
Why is the Great Pyramid of Giza considered one of the seven wonders of the world?
I like doing _______ such as cooking, washing and cleaning the house.
