Research 

Oregon located on the West Coast of the United State. Right between Washington and California. 

It is famous for its diverse landscape such as ocean, volcanoes and evergreen forests. The origin of the name "Oregon” is still debated, but one of my favorite explanations is from American poet Joaquin Miller who mentions that Oregon comes from Portuguese Ouve água, who means listen to the water. 

Columbia River Gorge is one of 7 state wonders that are highly recommended for people to visit. Cater lake is known by its deep blue color water, the Painted Hill is famous for its colorful layers. You can go rock climbing at Smith Rock. Horseback riding in The Wallowas, surfing at the Oregon coast, skiing at Mt. Hood, which is a volcano that hasn’t erupted for a decade. 

Culture-wise, Oregon has lots of different music festivals all over the state. Oregon is a bike-friendly state and there are lots of craft beer stores and independent coffee shops. Visitors can enjoy delicious mushroom dishes and marionberry pie.

Oregon= The Beaver's State 

The beaver is not only a cute animal that loves to live bedside stream and mountains. The beaver was Oregon's important economic resource in the early 19th center. People used beaver fur to make fashionable hats. Moreover,  the beaver is also one of the most hard-working animals in the world, which made Oregon resident admire. The beaver's character is idolized by judges, accountants, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and all of us who works hard every day.
