 We think that modern humans appeared in Africa about 200,000 years ago.
But they didn’t stay in Africa. They migrated out of Africa to the Middle East and
then to the rest of the world. Throughout history, people have migrated from one
place to another. People, it seems, like to move.
Since the 17th century, many European people moved from Europe to the
Americas. They left Spain and Portugal and moved to South America.
Many Northern Europeans migrated to North America. In the United States,
most people arrived in New York. Some stayed on the East Coast, but many people
migrated to the West Coast using wagon trains.
So, why do people move? First, there is economic migration. People move to
find work and a good life. Second, there is forced migration. People move because of
wars; it is not safe to stay in their homes.
Of course, many people don’t migrate. They stay in the same place all their
lives. But people like to visit different countries on their vacations. People, it seems,
just like to move.
C 1. in Africa; 2. to the Middle East; 3. from the East to the West; 4. People move to
find work/a good life.; 5. People move because of wars.
