Step II Reading and Using language
1. Read the following passage about Canada and then give a proper title to each paragraph.
Firstly, T only shows the first part and use the following questions as a guide.
Qs:
What ‘s the paragraph about? (Geography of Canada)
What’s the feature of the geography of Canada? (vast land)
Would you fill in the missing words?
Geography: vast land
Canada is the world's second largest country after Russia. Canada is thinly populated, however, with much of the land too cold or too mountainous for human settlement most Canadians live
within 300km (186 miles) of the southern border. Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and Pacific Ocean to the west., Canada’s boundaries span (跨越) the widest portion (一部分) of the North America continent, from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, from the United States along the 49th Parallel in the south to the North Pole, Arctic Ocean and Beaufort Sea in the
north. The entire expanse of Canada covers 9,976,140 km² (Land: 9,220,970 km² and Water: 755,170 km²) about 1.3 times the size of Australia and over 40 times the size of the United Kingdom.
Varied Climate
Canada‘s climate is not as cold all year around as some may believe. In winter, temperatures fall below freezing point throughout most of Canada, especially in Nunavut where it is extremely cold.
But the south-western coast has a relatively mild climate. Along the Arctic Circle, mean temperatures are below freezing for seven months a year. During the summer months the southern provinces often
experience high levels of humidity (潮湿) and temperatures that can surpass 30 degrees Celsius regularly. Western and south-eastern Canada experience high rainfall, but the Prairies (大草原) are dry with 250 mm to 500 mm of rain every year.
Multi-national population
Canada has a widely spread population of 31,413,990 (July 2002). Almost 35% of Canadians are of British descent, 20% French and Italian, Chinese, Ukrainian, Dutch, Greek, Polish and Scandin
avian make up a large portion of the population.
The aboriginal people who account for 470,000 Native Indians and 32,000 Inuit (the Eskimos of Canada) are much less than when the Europeans first inhabited Canada. There are also about 450
,000 Metis, the name used to denote (指代) those of mixed aboriginal and European blood. All together this group of inhabitants accounts for around 4% of the population.
Multicolorful Religion
Canada is a multicultural country, and so it‘s no surprise that there are a wide variety of religions practiced in Canada as well. Although Canada began as a Christian country and Christianity contin——ues to dominate, it’s not easy to figure out how many spiritual beliefs that cover all corners of the country.
Cities
There are ten provinces in all and three territories in Canada. Newfoundland and Labrador are the furthest east and were the latest to join Canada; formerly they were a British colony. The Maritime
——s consist of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Quebec is the French speaking province and shares most of the heavy industry in Canada with Ontario. The Canadian capital
is
Ottawa, located on the Ontario-Quebec border. Westwards are the prairie provinces and then British Columbia on the Pacific coast. North of British Columbia is the Yukon Territory which extends north to the Arctic Ocean with
the Northwest Territories. The newest territory is Nunavut which extends throughout the Eastern Arctic with Greenland its nearest neighbor to the east. It used to be a part of the Northwest Territorie——s
and is totally isolated from the rest of the country except by aircraft and for the most part supplied by ship during a very short summer season. Most people there have a gift for riding dog sled.

on the 5th of September.
The ride covered 4,674miles(7,539 kilometres). The trip itself took 65 days, 55 riding and 10 rest days. I didn’t do this on my own. I was one of 24 people who set off from Vancouver on June 29
