What does the national flag of the USA look like?

There are fifty states in the United States of America. The population is over 200 million.

Before 1776 there were many flags in America. Rhode Island, for example, had an anchor on its flag, Massachusetts — a tree, New Hampshire — a ship. In 1776 after the Declaration of Independence the Stars and Stripes first became the American flag. Thirteen stripes represent the thirteen states that signed the Declaration of Independence and the white stars represent the number of states in the whole of the union. New states joined the union and the flag changed 26 times. The two newest states are Alaska and Hawaii.

13 Как выглядит национальный флаг США?

Ответ:

According to the text, the national flag of the USA is called the Stars and Stripes. It has thirteen stripes and white stars. The thirteen stripes represent the thirteen states that signed the Declaration of Independence. The white stars represent the number of states in the union, so there are fifty stars for the fifty states.

(Согласно тексту, национальный флаг США называется «Звезды и полосы». У него тринадцать полос и белые звезды. Тринадцать полос представляют тринадцать штатов, подписавших Декларацию независимости. Белые звезды представляют количество штатов в союзе, таким образом, на флаге пятьдесят звезд по числу пятидесяти штатов.)
