The United States of America is one of the largest countries in the world. It is also one of the most important English-speaking countries. With the population over 300 million people, the country has a great number of famous and outstanding people. The first people to be mentioned are, of course, numerous presidents of the USA. People have always admired two of them in a special way. It was the first president of the country - George Washington and the sixteenth president - Abraham Lincoln. Except the celebrities in politics the USA had many other people to admire. Among them, the most beautiful woman in the world - Marilyn Monroe, the king of rock-n-roll - Elvis Presley, one of the best known human rights activist - Martin Luther King, the father of Disney cartoons - Walt Disney, the creator of electric lamps - Thomas Edison, a well-known writer of short stories - O. Henry and many others. Almost all American celebrities have something important in common. They all believed in what they were doing and knew that only hard work can bring success. It would be wrong to say that the USA is proud only by its former famous people, as it still has lots of world-known and respected celebrities. For example, the country has some outstanding sportsmen, among them Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Jesse Owens and many others. As for the musicians, the USA can be proud by such voices as Tina Turner, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and others. There are also some famous explorers among the Americans and one of them is especially popular, as he has become the first man on the moon. It's a famous astronaut Neil Armstrong.
