Q7.

After watching the video, I have learnt that in 1497, he would like to find a way which could go to China and Japan, but he boarded an English ship and arrived at New Foundland. He considered that was African eastern seaboard. He found North America was earlier than Columbus. And then, he went back, but not just found it. John Cabot took many new resources for people. Food was the most important one, he found cods, a kind of fish. He found a region which had many cods. He was a hero for people.
