About 77% of the people live in cities which lie in a band about 100 miles wide above the border of the United States. The capital of Canada is Ottawa. Other large cities are Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Quebec. Canada has two official languages English and French.

Tallinn English College CANADA Report Karin Kristen Tapupere 8.b Instructor: Tiiu Martma Intro: Canada is a country occupying most of northern North America, extending from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean. It is the world's second largest country by total area and its common border with the United States to the south and northwest is the longest in the world. The land occupied by Canada was inhabited for millennia by various groups of Aboriginal people. Beginning in the late 15th century, British and French expeditions explored, and later settled along, the Atlantic coast. France ceded nearly all of its colonies in North America in 1763 after the Seven Years' War. In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. It is a bilingual and multicultural country, with both English and French as

There are four national parks in the Czech Republic. The oldest is Krkonose National Park (Biosphere Reserve), Sumava National Park (Biosphere Reserve), National Park Podyjí, Ceské Svcarsko National Park. 14 WEATHER AND CLIMATE The Czech Republic has a temperate continental climate, with relatively hot summers and cold, cloudy and snowy winters. Most rain falls during the summer. The temperature difference between summer and winter is relatively high, due to the landlocked geographical position. Within the Czech Republic, temperatures vary greatly, depending on the elevation. In general, at higher altitudes, the temperatures decrease and precipitation increases. The wettest area in the Czech Republic is found around Bíl Potok in Jizera Mountains and the driest region is the Louny District to the northwest of Prague
Ocean, and the Rio Grande. The rivers of the Pacific basin are rapid. There are many hydro-electric power-stations on them. Over 800 rivers cross the continental (48) states. Most are small branches and/or tributaries of larger rivers. The great lakes between the USA and Canada are joined together by rivers and canals. The lakes are connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the St. Lawrence River and to the Hudson River by a canal. Between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie is Niagara Falls (51 m). Another large lake in the USA is Great Salt Lake. It is saltier than the sea. History For thousands of years America was unknown to Europe. In 1492 Christopher Columbus discovered it while trying to reach India. He didn't stay and in the sixteenth century the first Europeans to settle in America were the Spanish, the English and the French. The first village founded by the English settlers was in Virginia in 1607. It was

This town is visited approximately by 10 million visitors every year, during the heyday there were 17 million visitors. The most popular sights in Blackpool are: the three piers (North, Central and South), the Blackpool tower (inspired by the Eiffel tower in Paris), Pleasure Beach Blackpool (an amusement park), Stanley Park (a historic park and sporting area) and the Winter Gardens (a

It is also considered to be the real centre of London by many people, as it lies in the heart of London's entertainment world, full of theatres and cinemas, the most famous restaurants and the most luxurious night-clubs. In the middle of the Circus stands the Shaftesbury memorial fountain. It was built in 1893 to commemorate Lord Shaftesbury. The statue on the top of the fountain depicts the Angel of Christian Charity. The buildings around the Circus are decorated with bright neon lights at night, making the place a very colourful site. Piccadilly Circus is one of the city's most popular meeting places, as it is small and hard to get lost in. Trafalgar Square It is to commemorate the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. In the centre of the square is the Nelson's column it was erected to commemorate the Admiral Nelson. In the corners of this square are the plinths

Some examples of these kinds of plant are Turpentine Bush, Prickly Pears, and Brittle Bush. For all of these plants to survive they have to have adaptations.

Between 1829 and 1859 four of the six colonies became the states of Australia. The idea of unifying all the states first came to Earl Grey, as early as in 1847 The Commonwealth of Australia was approved by the British Parliament and became a reality on January 1, 1901. Now the states became States of the Commonwealth. As neither Sydney nor Melbourne was acceptable as the capital, a new capital Canberra was founded in 1911.

From what we know today, Mohammed (570-632) used one black and one white flag connected with him. The Arab World developed the tradition of using specific colors and inscriptions for different dynasties and leaders. As dynasties followed one another, contrasting colors were used, in order to differentiate the ruling dynasty from its predecessors. (Smith, 1975) 6 An interesting difference can be noted with regard to the use of colors by the Chinese and later by the Arabs; whereas the Chinese identified every color with a philosophical or religious concept, the Arabs associated specific colors with dynasties and individual leaders. Another interpretation of the Arab colours, from the last century, and based on the words of the poet Safi al-Din al-H'ily In the West, flags were introduced during the Crusades, and derived from the struggles between Christians and Muslims.
It is clear, that television has advantages and disadvantages. But are there more advantages than disadvantages? In the first place, television is an entertainment. But it is not only a convenient entertainment. For a family of three, four or five, for example, it is more convenient and less expensive to sit comfortably at home than to go out to find entertainment in other places. They don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre or cinema. They turn on the TV-set and can watch interesting films, concerts, football matches. But some people think that it's bad to watch TV. Those who watch TV need do nothing. We are passive when we watch TV. Television shows us many interesting programmes. But again there is a disadvantage here: we watch TV every evening, and it begins to dominate our lives. My friend told me that when his TV-set broke down, he and his family found that they had more time to do things and to talk to each other. There are other arguments for and

Bedouins are Arabic speaking nomadic tribes that originate from the Arabian Peninsula (mainly Saudi Arabia) and would travel the desert to locations where they would find drink and food. Sometimes traveling for days before they arrived at their final destinations. Each tribe would have an area of land under their responsibility from which they would make income by allowing travelers and traders to pass through. As knowledgeable guides of the desert they controlled the desert trade routes, and escorted caravans. Table 1. Bedouin Total population Regions Languages Religion Related ethnic groups
