 * A year ago, in 1609, you moved to the colony of Virginia. But life here has been hard. During the winter many people died of cold or sickness. Food is always scarce. Now it is spring, and a ship has come from England bringing supplies. In a week it will sail home. Some of your neighbors are giving up and returning to England. They ask you to come, too. Would you take the ship back to England?**

I would take the ship back home because if we go back to England, we are just wasting time and we will have to go back home anyway. I should start sailing back home when it is right after winter. If we start sailing right after winter, we will not have to worry about the coldness and the icebergs. We can also travel through the shortest route by using navigational tools. As long as we have the clear sky with the bright sun, we can make it home without any trouble.
