Alexander Dale Oen

We have been reading about the tragic death of the Norwegian swimmer Alexander Dale Oen  in Arizona, USA. The article we were reading appeared in the New Zealand Herald dated May 2, 2012. We were asked to research about different things mentioned in the article. Our group found out about Arizona. Here is my report: Arizona is in the state USA, the capital is Phoenix. The population of the state is six million,four hundred and eighty two thousand, five hundred and five. Arizona is famous for their grand canyon that you can go see.
