The plan is to travel pass the ‘ Northwest passage which is rumored that it is more safe and quicker for ships to travel to Asia through this re May 1497 ~ This is my first sailas an explorer, On my ship “Matthew, with my son Sebastian, 9 tried to travel on the northern route to sail across the Atlantic ocean and find the Northwest passage. June 1497 ~ 9 arrive on the coastal, part of. Asia, 9 think? Ddon t really know much about where 9 landed since the lack of accurate e a a madle it very difficult for early explorers fi ¢ ‘ me to know, Somehow 9 felt like 9 landed on either Newfoundland or Labrador, Later on, 9 claimed the land to be England’ ‘s land. * 9 tried to find the Northwest assage that 9 . through yet but sometime later, 9 realized that there & are not enough supplies for the crew. 9 hurried hack to England. ‘ 22? 1497 ~ 9 came hack to Bristol and received warm — welcome from the King Henry VI9.

Because of this, 9 didn't know the native goods 9 : Sten before, But somehow, at least 9 know what 9 . there. twas spice. ‘ Thwee of these are the commonly known spices including Cinnamon, Pt il fs as k Pepper's [ruit) te Ginger as the order shown above. These spices are traded : among merchants to merchants from Asia to the wed part of the world. se As 9 sail on this ship fora big while, 9 realized — | something. 9 often asked myself “Why would 9 even be here?" "Does this worth my life time?" "What could be doing instead. of sailing for to prove that there's a | shorter way to Asia than Columbus’ route?" Every night 9 can feel: my question lin ering in my head. Then the day has come, 9 could; final answer myself as Dam trying to sleep. "9 9 don't vada shorter way to Asia, the spice from Asia would be hard to find and. om . people might have to waste their life time for bu ing it a __ from another merchant mid-way to Asia" 9 thought. 9 ~ wasnt yet yet sure about this answer but that will do for On the way back, after realizing that the land we ae v Asia Senge it, the same question came back to me since we didn't even arrived at Asia, That night, I was thinking over the 2 question over and over again. “Finding this new land might bea very good. sign of | conquering the world." 9 thought. "We might just use the language as a weapon, and: spread. iton this land. Then the people ina this land would: spread it over the nearby land too. Moreover, there might be some new + goods located on this land too. 9 might be even more valuable than spice. Since we conquered this land, we have more advantage on those people and we could just get the native goods for free!” And as my thought runs wild, 9 slowly fell asleep, In the morning, 9 concluded that: | English will be spreaded throughout the land Native goods will be acquirable for England The world after the discovery of "Canada" by John Cabot, English is spread throughout the world and is well known, It is because John Cabot took 3man from the new discovered land to England. Sometime later, the are able to speak English, They went hack to Coat and spread the language. Luckily, because the continent of. America grew in power from ages to ages, the people there are able to conquer other places ara spread the language even further in the place they conquered,
