Презентация "Canada"

• Canada is a country in the northern part of North America. Its capital is Ottawa. Canada’s climate varies widely across vast area, ranging from arctic weather in north, to hot summers in the southern regions, with four distinct seasons. Canada has the fifteenth highest nominal per capita income globally as well as the twelfth highest ranking in the Human Development Index.

About Canada

• Canada is an officially bilingual country, which means it has two official languages: French and English. In practice, however, the majority of Canadians speak English, a small minority speak both English and French, another small minority speak English and some other language, and the smallest minority of all speak only French. The complex power relationships between these four group define Canada’s language controversy, which is one of the country’s longest-running political dramas.

Canadian English

• Canadian English  is mostly a mix of American-style pronunciations and a complex mix of British and American spelling, with a few uniquely Canadian flourishes that fit into neither tradition. In all honesty, the exact “rules” of Canadian English tend to be fairly unclear and are often disputed. Publishers churn out “Canadian dictionaries” and the government of Canada produces an  official guide  to the “Canadian style,” but it’s still common to hear Canadians — even very educated ones — argue about the correct “Canadian way” to spell or pronounce this or that word. Many Canadian editors and teachers simply pass down whatever rules they remember learning.
