Important definitions and assumptions

Hi guys,

today we tried to finish everything we had to say about the topic "Immigration to the US" even if we haven't had time yet. However, we managed to say lots of things and give important definitions:

Ellis Island: It's an island in the bay of NYC where immigrants had to take two tests before entering and working in the USA (a literacy and medical test).
If you were not healthy a first doctor wrote something on your coat with a chalk for you to have another examination.

E PLURIBUS UNUM: It's one of the two mottos of the USA.
It means "out of many, one". It's a symbol for the melting pot.

-> out of many people,            one people
                            cultures,          _culture
                            languages,      _nation
                            nations,            _community
                            communities,  _country
                            countries,         _religion
 

ASSUMPTIONS:
They were many immigrants, that's why he may HAVE HAD no time / he may HAVE been in a bad mood.
