Task4
Using the examples from the lecture, explain two ways the railroad system changed business in the United States.
Listening
Listen to part of a lecture in a history class.
Okay, so we’ve been talking about various factors that have changed the United States economy. One especially important factor was the development of railroads.
When the railroad system expanded throughout most of the United States, it fundamentally changed the way business was done in this country. For one thing, the expansion of railroads enabled companies to start selling their goods all across the country. Since trains could now transport merchandise all over the United States, companies could sell goods to consumers pretty much anywhere.
For example, there was a big company that sold clocks. The company started in a big city, and before the development of railroads, it could only sell its clocks to people who lived in or near that city. But when the railroads expanded, the company could load its clocks onto trains and have them delivered to all parts of the country.
Railroads also changed business in the U.S. by making it possible to open factories in new locations. Many factories had machines that were powered by certain raw materials, like coal, and railroads made it possible to transport those raw materials to areas of the country where they weren’t found naturally.
A good example is some factories in the southern United States. In certain parts of the South, there wasn’t much naturally occurring coal. So before the expansion of railroads, there weren’t many factories there because there were no raw materials like coal to provide power for the factory machines. But after railroad lines were built in the South, coal could be brought in from other parts of the country, allowing new factories to open there.

The railroad system really changed business in the United States in two main ways. First, it allowed companies to sell their products to people all over the expression country instead of the business, because it's the radio station, which is the former space of the country. For instance, in scheduling of the selling it was just in the round of the city, their local cities. For example, a club company. However, clock company that used to sell only in its city could now send clocks on trains to customers everywhere. Second, railroads made it was allowed possible to go to the trains and so it made you a part of it in the country. The second boom is the actual establishment of the open factories in the new locations during miles that the major of the places. Many factories needed raw materials was crucial by factories and provided power because of the railroads, raw of the materials like coal to get discovered and got delivered run their machines, but some areas, especially in the South United States where the natural South, didn’t have coal. With railroads, coal doesn't excite out or allowing could be transported from other regions, which meant new factories to stay here.could be built in those areas.

You are smart.The railroad system changed business in the United States in two main ways. First, it allowed companies to sell their goods nationwide. For example, a clock company that could only sell locally was able to ship clocks all over the country once railroads expanded. Second, railroads enabled factories to open in new locations by transporting raw materials like coal to areas that didn't have them. This meant that factories could be built in places like the southern United States, where there wasn't much coal before.

Hello my cute cute sisterThe railroad system changed business in the United States in two key ways. First, it allowed companies to sell their goods nationwide. For example, a clock company that could only sell locally before the railroads could now ship clocks all over the country. Second, railroads enabled factories to open in new locations by transporting raw materials, such as coal, to areas where they were previously unavailable. This led to the establishment of new factories in places like the southern United States, where coal was brought in to power machinery.

According to a the lecture, the railroad system has changed the business a lot significantly in the United States. They are States in two example. main ways. First, before the development of the railway and railroads, a big compliment that's still clogged, can clock company could only sail the clog sell its clocks to the nearby people or town. And living nearby. But after the railroad system has railroads improved, they can sail could transport their clocks to distant places across the farther place by train. And country. Second, many areas in the second example is U.S. didn’t have factories before the US aren't have manufactory before. But as railroads were built. With the development of the railroad system, nowadays they have many new factory factories opened up because raw materials, like coal, could be brought in from other regions. This allowed businesses to grow and they are business will improve a lot.significantly.
Bianca
In history class, the professor thinks explained that the railroad system changes changed the history of the United States just like the examples given by the professor. in significant ways. First, before the United States have the railroad, had railroads, some companies can sell good because they sit in the big city, but they can could only sell their products goods in the city. When railroad invented, city where they can were located. However, with the invention of railroads, they could sell their products in all parts of over the country, so they can develop which helped them grow their business. And the second one is, railroad makes businesses. Second, railroads made it possible to open factories in some countries, so that they can make their products new locations, allowing them to produce goods more cheap cheaply and more quickly, quickly because they can have could transport raw materials and hire more people to work with them.workers.

In this the lecture, the speaker talked about discussed how the railroad and the first one, the first change is that the first railroad is a, is the campground of system changed business in the United States and when it built completely and it in two main ways. First, the expansion of railroads allowed companies to sell their products across the entire country. For example, a clock company that could only sell locally was very useful for the business because other people as the work of the business will still be now able to do their jobs and ship its clocks to customers everywhere thanks to the single one is railroads. Second, railroads enabled factories to open in new locations by transporting raw materials like coal to areas that after a few years ago, didn't have them. This meant that places in the US, southern U.S., where coal was scarce, could now have factories because they could get the railroad changes and this changes could have a, could be better for the industrial business.coal they needed from other regions.
Gloria
But sure, Sure! The professor talked about how the professors talk about the various factors that have railroad system changed the universe of business in the United States in color and wrong, especially two main ways. First, railroads allowed companies to sell their goods across the entire country. For example, a clock company that started in a big city could only sell to local customers before railroads. But with the railroads, they could ship clocks to people all over the country. Second, railroads made it possible to open factories in new places. In the South, where there wasn't much coal, railroads helped bring in the raw materials needed for factories. This meant that new factories could open in areas that didn't have the fact that it was too developed for resources before. So, railroads really changed how businesses operated in the fundamental real world. When the real world seemed expanded throughout each most of the universe these days, it found a mentally-chancellate way of business was down in this country of one thing, the expression of the real world.U.S.!
KevinCai
The professor discusses two ways, ways the real-world railroad system changes the changed business in the United States. The first way is that the real-world railroad system changes the health and allowed merchants to sell their products in across the whole entire country. For example, the clock company. The clock company can just could only sell its clocks in a small city at first, but with the small CD and first, with development of the real-world railroad system, it can could now sell their its clocks in the whole country. nationwide. The second way is that it can help to the railroad system helped build the industries in the country, for example the core industries. At first, it can new areas. For instance, many factories needed raw materials like coal, which were not found in some regions. Before railroads, only a small part of the city can cities with coal could have the core industries, but these factories. But with the real-world system groups, the whole country can railroad system, coal could be transported to places that didn't have the core industries it, allowing new factories to have core industries to work.open in those areas.

Professor Expand you a real road The railroad system chain, the significantly changed business in the United States. The first way is States in two main ways. First, it allowed companies to develop their real stop. They start starting sell their goods across all the counter, for entire country. For example, of the big company. They reach sales there was a clock. That's the first, they large clock company that could only sell the class where they meet nearby. So then they expand the market as well. They can sell the class in all the country, so they can open the company, which allowed more people to buy. They can change business its clocks in the city where it was based. But after the railroads expanded, they could transport their clocks to customers all over the United States.States, increasing their market reach. Second, railroads made it possible to open factories in new locations. Many factories needed raw materials like coal to operate, but some regions, like the southern U.S., lacked these materials. With the expansion of railroads, coal could be transported from other areas, enabling new factories to open in the South. This change greatly impacted the business landscape in the country.

For example, a clock company could only reach customers in its city. But with railroads, they could ship clocks to people in different states. Second, railroads made it possible to set up factories in new places. In the South, there wasn't much coal available, so factories couldn't operate there. However, with railroads, coal could be transported from other regions, allowing new factories to open in the country. That is can also beudden there goes to different places that there ever can buy it and it goes along. umSouth.
Rachel
In the lecture, the professor introduced the discussed two ways that the real-world railroad system changes the changed business in the US. United States. The first way is the that it allowed companies to sell their merchandise can be sailed around across the country. For example, there is was a company that sold clocks, but before the railroad expansion, they sell the clock, but they can could only sell to people in their city. After the local people or near the city. The real-world changes the situation. After railroads were built, they have the real-world system, they can sell could transport their clock clocks all over the country. The second way is about the material raw. related to raw materials. Some factories don't didn't have the material necessary raw materials to support operate their machine. If there is a real-world, machines. With the railroad system, they can could transport the material raw materials, like coal, from another city. Another city.other regions where they were available. This made it possible for new factories to open in areas that previously lacked these resources.
Emily
The real railroad system helps changed business to sell goods and in countries. It changes the local location shop in the United States state in two main ways. First, it allowed companies to sell their goods across the entire country instead of just locally. For example, a clock company that started in a big city could only sell to nearby customers before railroads. But with the new railroad system, they could ship clocks to people all over the U.S. Second, railroads made it possible to open factories in new locations. In the South, for instance, there wasn't much coal available, so factories couldn't operate there. However, once railroads were built, coal could be transported from other areas, allowing new factories to open and the coin will be changed to you. This system will make more customers and make the machine more effective because of the coin.thrive.
Bill
He has recalls During the lecture, we talk about discussed how the Simmer's change to the beatnets expansion of railroads significantly changed business in the unit stage. First we talk about United States. First, railroads allowed companies to sell their goods all across the talk about the... Here is Sim's history country. Before railroads, a company that sold clocks could only reach customers in its city. However, with railroads, they could transport clocks to people all over the nation. Second, railroads made it possible to open factories in new locations. For instance, in the different era southern United States, there wasn't much coal naturally available. But with railroads, coal could be transported from other areas, enabling new factories to open up in the South. Overall, railroads transformed the way businesses operated by expanding their reach and way now the freeing thing. We know the difference, I would have a different aspect. So we can really see the link some things. Second we reload the steamers, have the person allowing them to do something explaining for and director leads to some interesting things. I think this can maybe improve you. Improve your style of your job. So I think it's a good wait for a person.access necessary resources.

The expansion of the railroad system expansion dramatically changed the business in the United States dramatically because the in two main ways. First, it allowed companies can to sell the their goods to across the entire countries. The professor gave us two examples. The first one is country. For example, a big clock company that the big company, which sells the clogs, is just can sells the clothing used to sell only in its own cities where they located it. And after city could now ship clocks to customers all over the expansion, it can sell to the whole countries, which benefit their nation, greatly increasing its sales and reach. Second, railroads enabled companies a lot. And second is about the US companies. And it's the railroad helped them to transport raw materials more efficiently. In the raw materials. There is a coal industries, and because South, there is no coal raw materials, it is really harsh for them to be weren't many factories before the factories. Because there is no material to support their powers. However, after the raw expansions, it is taken open railroads because they can have lacked access to coal, a key resource for powering machinery. Once the raw materialrailroads were built, coal could be brought in from other regions, allowing new factories to open and boosting the local economy.

In the lecture, it was mentioned that the lecture have a mention of the two ways. Railroad system, chain railroad system changed business in the United States. States in two significant ways. First, railroads allowed companies to sell their goods across the entire country instead of just in their local areas. For example, a clock company that started in a big city could only sell to people nearby. But with the railroads, they have a lot of company in could transport their clocks to consumers all over the United States. And they The second way railroads changed business was by enabling factories to start selling goods. For example, open in new locations. Many factories needed raw materials, like coal, to run their machines. Before the call, it's a call. It's railroads, some areas, especially in the big city, but it's just a sell people, sell South, didn't have access to coal. But once the people that they live railroads were built, coal could be transported from other regions, which allowed new factories to be established in and they are bought. But then they treat it to another country and they can chain goods. The second is the transport material. For example, in the United States, they have a naturally material. It's named the call. And they can provide power for machines.those areas.

History In history class, the professor explained to you what is that how the railroad system changed business in the United States. The first one way is about the transformation between the that it transformed how companies operated across different parts of the companies. One good example of that is regions. For example, there was a big company, which is sales company that sold clocks. And in Before the railroads expanded, this example, at first, before the real-waste was calmed, the company can could only sales sell its clocks to use people who lived near in the companies. And when city where it was located. However, once the railroad was coming up, railroads were developed, they can could send their clocks to customers all over the clocks into different parts of the company. country. The second way is that they can railroads made it possible to transport the raw materials to factories. For instance, in the companies. Like southern United States, there wasn't much coal available naturally. Before the codes, railroads, there weren’t many factories in that region because they can transport it into lacked the company.necessary power sources. But after the railroads were built, coal could be brought in from other areas, allowing new factories to open in the South.

The professor gave us two examples to explain two ways in well-roads, statement changes of how the railroad system changed business in the United States. And The first example is that railroads allowed companies to sell their goods across the first one is starting selling group. And it's pretty much country. For instance, a big clock company that started in company. And there are big companies in a city could only sell to people nearby. But with the big city. And the second is the railroad in railroads, they could send clocks to customers all over the United States. It can create a The second example is that railroads helped factories open in new location locations. Many factories needed raw materials like coal to operate, but some areas, especially in the southern United States. And this is a material called cold. And it doesn't, there's not cold in many factories. And this material is a States, didn't have coal. With railroads, coal could be transported from other regions, allowing new thing of machine.factories to be established where they weren't possible before.

The road railroad system is good really important for the business because the because, first, the people can it allows companies to sell good to their goods all over the country. For example, there was a company that produced clothes, and before the railroads, they have the company produced clothes. It's could only sell in the big cities. So, But with the road is coming so railroads, they can could sell the their goods nationwide. Secondly, railroads are crucial for transporting raw materials to the other country. The next is very good for the transform because areas where they are needed. For instance, some areas places didn't have some material enough coal to build power factories, but once the machine. And if railroads were built, they have the road, they can have a good ways could bring coal from other regions, allowing new factories to transform the material to a different area.open up.

The real rotating computer meexpansion of the railroad system changed business in the United States in two main ways. First, it allowed companies to sell their goods across the country. For example, a clock company that started in a big city could now deliver clocks to customers all over the U.S. Second, railroads made it possible to open factories in new locations by transporting raw materials, like coal, to areas where they were not found naturally, which helped factories to operate in places like the southern United States.

In the lecture, the professor makes an talks about how the railroad system changed business in the United States. One example he gives is about the history of a big company, what starts company that started in America, but it's not so good. They a city. Before the railroads, they could only can sell for the their clocks to people who live in the city and some visitors who visit here. And nearby. But after the railroad system, ZICEM, first ZICEM, we use railroads were built, they could transport their clocks to do things customers all over the country, which really expanded their market. The second way railroads changed business is by allowing new factories to open. In some areas, like the southern United States, there wasn't much coal available to power factories. But with the railroads, coal could be brought in from other places places, which allowed factories to sell. So, this expands the markets of the company. And the second, the opens a new factory. This also provides a new way to sell the products and the new factory.start operating in those regions.
