Unit four, in harmony with the world.0:01
Seven, listen to the dialogue and complete the sentences in your workbook.0:04
Well, Mr. Weaver, may I ask you to tell me more about Canada, your country?0:09
You see, while doing English.0:14
We get quite a lot of information about Great Britain and the usa.0:15
But Canada is seldom mentioned in our textbooks.0:19
Thanks for the question.0:22
For me, Canada is the best place in the world.0:24
I'm always happy to speak about it.0:26
I'm sure you know that Canada is the second largest country in the world after Russia.0:28
But it has fewer people than many other countries that are a lot smaller.0:32
This is because much of Canada is a very cold place.0:36
In the northern islands, it is often cold even in summer.0:40
Is it true that some of the country's territory lies beyond the Arctic Circle?0:44
In fact, about 40% of Canada is in the Arctic North.0:49
Very close to the North Pole.0:53
Do you know our motto, Tanya?0:55
Canada's motto is from sea to sea.0:58
Is it because Canada is washed by two oceans?1:02
Almost only the number of oceans is three.1:05
The Pacific, the Atlantic and the Arctic.1:07
The country has the longest coastline in the world, 243,000 kilometers.1:10
It's no wonder that one of the popular hobbies in Canada is whale watching.1:15
Special boats go out into the ocean.1:19
And if you choose the right time and the right place.1:20
You have a 99% chance of seeing whales.1:23
What an unusual hobby.1:26
I thought Canada's greatest love was ice hockey.1:28
You're absolutely right.1:31
Winter sports are extremely popular.1:32
Which is not surprising in a country of ice and snow.1:34
I've seen some photos of Canada.1:37
In them, the country doesn't look like an ice desert.1:39
In fact, it looked very beautiful.1:42
Canada is very rich in forests.1:44
They cover almost half of Canada's territory.1:46
We also have a lot of fresh water in our numerous lakes and rivers.1:48
Fresh water is one of our natural riches.1:52
Have you ever heard about the Niagara Falls, Tanya?1:54
It's one of my greatest dreams to see the Niagara Falls with my own eyes.1:58
But I've always associated the falls with the United States.2:03
The Niagara Falls are situated on the border between Canada and the States.2:08
The place is often called the honeymoon capital of the world.2:12
Because so many newly married couples.2:16
Prefer to spend their honeymoons in this fantastic place.2:18
It sounds like a good idea.2:21
I suppose staying in a place like that is unforgettable.2:22
So is visiting one of our 42 national parks.2:26
Like everywhere else in the world.2:29
They were created to protect the forests, animals and plants.2:30
They are probably the most picturesque places in the country and attract a lot of tourists.2:33
Thank you so much for your time, Mr. Weaver.2:38
After your story, I feel that I want to visit Canada more than ever.2:40
