75. The Amish p.1In the heart of America, in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, live some people who are notyour typical Americans. In order to lead simple lives, they don't use cars. Instead, they drive horse-drawnbuggies. They don't use electric lights, either, not to mention telephones. They make their own clothing,which looks ancient. And, to make matters worse, they don't speak English but German among themselves.These people are the Amish. They settled in America almost 300 years ago. Most of them are farmers whostay away from the temptations of the city.
