The second
Monday in October is celebrated the Columbus’
Day. But today, I am not going to talk about Columbus
but about another pioneer on exploring America. His name was Leif
Ericksson, this Norse explorer sailed to the Northern East coast of North America. It happened at about one thousand years
ago. This is what is now known as Canada
but He named the land "Vinland" at that time. He
and his crew were originally from Greenland. Experts,
during the 1960’s, founded a village and houses like those in Norway and Iceland. But they only established
a few settlements but not permanents.
Another explorer
who I want to mention today is Juan Ponce de León. He was a spanish man. He
adventured to the land of what we know as Florida. An interesting thing here, it is
that he was looking for an especial kind of water which could make old people
young again. At that time, many people in Europe
believed so. Nevertheless, He never found such prodigious water. In fact, the
movie Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger
Tides, is based partly on this story.

Well done, Juampy. "To venture" is a good verb. The past tense of "to find" is "found", while "founded" is the past tense of "to found" (fundar).
