WHAT IS A CAHADIAN?
I am a Canadian and very proud of my country. However, people sometimes don’t know what being Canadian really means. People who come to Canada are encouraged to be proud of their own culture and keep their own customs.
Except for the Native Indians, everybody else who lives here came from another country or their ancestors did. Canada is a mixture of many cultures and races. It is what we call a multicultural country.
We have two official languages, French and English.
Even though we encourage people to keep their own customs, we expect everyone to learn French or English in order to live in Canada. If you live in the province of Quebec, you are expected to speak French.
However, the Native Indians and the Inuit of Canada are still trying to keep their languages alive. You can hear some of their languages in the names of rivers and lakes as well as cities.
“Canada” means “village”. Toronto and Ottawa are also Native Indian names. There are radio and television programs and newspapers and magazines in over 80 different languages across Canada, and the Toronto city government offers help to people in 70 languages.
Many of our big cities have areas where people from the same culture live near each other －there might be a Chinatown, a Little Italy, a Korea Town and so on. However, people whose families have lived in Canada for a long time are usually all mixed up. My own family is a mixture of English,
Native Indian and French. My neighbour’s family is Chinese, German and African!
So when I say that I am proud to be a Canadian, maybe you can help me decide what a Canadian is.

More than 80 languages are used in the media.

A COMPARISON OF CHINA AND CANADA
Li Daiyu and Liu Qian’s Canadian friends asked them to tell them something about China. The two cousins decided to present a short report together, comparing China and Canada.
LISTENING TEXT
LD: China is a very large country. It’s about 9,600,000 square kilometres in area, and 5,000 kilometres from east to west. It’s so big that it’s difficult to describe. Perhaps it’s easier to compare it to Canada.
LD=Li Daiyu LQ= Liu Qian
LQ: China has many of the highest mountains in the world. They’re in the west of the country, as they are in Canada, but China has more mountains where many great rivers begin.
LD: China has two countries to the north, Mongolia and Russia, unlike Canada, which has no countries to its north, but only the Arctic ice and snow.
LQ: China has fourteen neighbouring countries. Its borders are over 20,000 kilometres long. Canada, however, has only one neighbour, the USA to the south. Both Canadians and Americans speak English, but it’s not so easy for Chinese to talk with their neighbours, even if they live close to the border.
LD: China’s Gobi Desert, in the northwest of China, is very special. There is nothing similar in Canada. In winter and spring sometimes the cold air blows dust southward from the Gobi Desert to the northern parts of China. Even the Great Wall cannot keep out the dust.
LQ: Both China and Canada have long rivers and many lakes as well as busy port cities on the Pacific Ocean. China is famous for the third longest river in the world, the Changjiang River, and Canada has the famous Niagara Falls.
LD: Canada, however, has nothing like China’s southern island of Hainan. While it is snowing and freezing in Mohe in north China on the Chinese-Russian border, people nearly 5,500 kilometres south in Hainan can sit on the beach in the sunshine.
LQ: There is nowhere to sit on the beach in winter in Canada!
