34 Read the text and say why James Cook is called a great explorer.

Captain James Cook was a British explorer. He made three journeys to the Pacific Ocean, during which he discovered its main coastline.

He was born on November 7, 1728 in England. At the age of 17, James Cook started working on a ship. There young James began to study different subjects: algebra, geometry, navigation and astronomy.

In June 1757, Cook joined one of the King’s ships as a captain’s assistant. For five years he served in North America. In that time he made a map of the west cost of North America.

Later in 1768 James Cook travelled to the Pacific Ocean as head of the expedition and its captain. That was his first trip around the world. He explored the unknown land called ‘Terra Australis’.

Cook’s second round-the-world trip took place in 1772. It lasted for four years. He was head of the expedition again. The crew¹ was big. There were not only sailors but some scientists, too. The ships reached New Zealand. As a result of the trip, Cook brought back a detailed map of New Zealand and a map of the Australian west coast. Scientists discovered some new types of animals and plants. The report of the team was interesting and important.

In 1776 James Cook took his last trip. He discovered the North Passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. It was difficult because of the bad weather. In 1779 the team had to stay on one of the Hawaiian Islands for the whole winter. Unfortunately, there was a conflict between the crew and native people of the island. They killed Captain James Cook. The expedition returned home in 1780 without their captain.

James Cook was a great explorer. The detailed maps which he made were very important and useful for people from all over the world.
