6. in 1776, captain cook started his third pacific voyage, searching for the northwest passage from the pacific ocean to the atlantic ocean. unfortunately, he was killed in a dispute with hawaiian natives and his men's attempt at the northwest passage was unsuccessful. however, this voyage is still recognized as especially significant in the history of the discovery of the west coast of north america.

suggested dialogue:
susan: do you think you'll be going to that pop concert next week?
clare: no. let's forget about that as it'll soon be time for our exams.
susan: do you need to do more revision?
clare: i don't really think i need to do more revision. i've done enough but it'll help me forget the concert you'll be enjoying.
susan: is there another reason why you don’t want to come to the concert?
clare: actually there is a reason. i don't think i'm going to have enough money even though i've been saving especially for this occasion.
susan: perhaps i can help you. i always earn extra money by cleaning cars. my father always pays me when i clean his.
clare: well, thank you for offering to help me. ill happily clean your father's car if he'll pay me too.
susan: i’m sure he will. he’s always been kind to my friends.
clare: i hope you'll thank him for me. i'd never be allowed to clean my father's car. he is so proud of it he won't let anyone touch it.
susan: oh this is my father’s fourth car so the excitement has worn off a little.
