新课讲解
Li Ming wrote a report about North America.
North America is a large continent, but it has only three main countries. Canada is the farthest north. To the south of Canada is the United States. The U.S.is north of Mexico. Together, these three countries cover about 24 million square kilometres.
About 550 million people live in North America. That is a large population，but smaller than that of China. The Great Lakes are the largest bodies of fresh water in the world. The Rocky Mountains are the biggest mountains in North America.
Canada is the biggest of the three countries in area, but it has the smallest population—about 35 million. People speak many languages in Canada. Most speak English or French, but the third most common language is Chinese!
The U．S. is also a very large country, and its population is much larger than any other country in North America. It has a population of more than 315 million. The U．S. is often called America. People in the U．S. are called Americans. Most Americans speak English, and many speak Spanish. Of course, there are a lot of Chinese speakers in the U. S．， too—more than 2 million!
Mexico is smaller than both Canada and the U．S. Most of the people there speak Spanish. It has a population of more than 110 million. Mexican people love their country, but many leave to live and work in the U.S. The capital city of Mexico is Mexico City. It is a very big city.
This is map of North America.
Language point 1
To the south of Canada is the United States.
to 表示方位
此句是倒装句。此句的主语是the Uni ted States，to the south of Canada作表语，此句可转换为：The United States is to the south of Canada.其中to the south of...意思是“在……的南方”，to要用在方位名词前。
e.g. Japan is to the east of China. 日本位于中国的东边。
Language point 2
Most speak English or French, but the third most common language is Chinese!
在形容词最高级的前面加上序数词，即“the＋序数词＋形容词最高级＋名词”表示“第……最……”。
e.g. Hainan Island is the second largest island of China.
海南岛是中国第二大岛。
the+ 序数词+ 最高级 第几最……
Language point 3
Mexican people love their country, but many leave to live and work in the U.S.
“leave＋地点”表示“离开某地”。
e.g. When did you leave Shanghai 你什么时候离开上海的？
leave/li v/v.离开；丢下(left/left)
