加拿大是世界上占地面积第2的国家。面积比美国大，并且领土的延伸接近地球赤道的4分之1。从东部到南部的距离超过5500千米。并且加拿大覆盖了世界上24个时区中的6个。
The population of Canada is about 29 million and the capital is Ottawa. There
are two official languages, French and English. The first travellers arrived from
England in 1497. Settlers from France reached Canada in 1534. For two
centuries English and French settlers struggled against each other to control the
country. Today, one province of Canada is French-speaking. The TV and radio
programes there are in French. There are French restaurants, and all the
teaching in schools is done in French.
