Canada is a federation of 10 provinces and 2 territories. The population Canada is slightly larger than the United States, but has only about a tenth as many people. About 28 million of people live in Canada. About 80% of the population live within 320 km of the southern border. Much of the rest of Canada is uninhabited or thinly populated because of severe natural conditions. Canada's people are varied. About 57% of all Canadians have some English ancestry and about 32% have some French ancestry. Native people American Indians and Eskimos make up about 2% of the country's population. 77% of Canada's people live in cites or towns. The Capital of Canada
Canada Geography The geography of Canada is vast and diverse. Occupying most of the northern portion of North America, Canada is the world's second largest country in total area. The highest point in Canada is Mount Logan 6,050 m, which is in the Yukon. The two principal river systems are the Mackenzie and the St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence, with its tributaries, is navigable for over 3,058 km. The largest lake situated entirely in Canada is Great Bear Lake at 31,328 km2 in the Northwest Territories. The largest lake which is at least partly in Canadian territory is Lake Superior Climate Canada's climate is as diverse as its landscape. Generally, Canadians enjoy four very distinct seasons, particularly in the more populated regions along the US border. Daytime summer temperatures can rise to 35°C and higher, while lows of -25°C are not uncommon in winter
CANADIAN PATRIOTIC SONGS "Ca-na-da", or "The Centennial Song" (French version: "Une chanson du centenaire") was written by Bobby Gimby in 1967 to celebrate Canada's centennial and Expo 67.

inches. This precipitation falls throughout the year, but in the winter it falls as snow. There are four seasons in this biome, with warm summers and cold winters, often snowy. In autumn, the leaves change color and fall from the trees. The leaves decay on the forest floor, so the soil is very rich. Because of this, and because of the long growing season, many deciduous forests have been cut down for farming purposes. Plants: Trees of this biome include hardwoods such as maple, oak, hickory, and beech. There are often some evergreens, such as hemlock, spruce, and fir growing amongst them. Decidous forests have usually 3-5 layers of plants; Top layer, or canopy: tall deciduous trees. Although the canopy is quite thick, it does allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, which encourages the other layers to grow. The 2nd layer: saplings and shorter kinds of trees The 3rd layer, or understorey: shrubs. The 4th layer: forest herbs, such as wildflowers and berries

Canada is the second largest country in the world, bordered by three oceans, and across the country, Canadians experience many different landscapes from rolling plains and mountains to the cold tundra of the north. Despite Canada's great size, it is one of the world's most sparsely populated countries. This fact, coupled with the grandeur of the landscape, has been central to the sense of Canadian national identity. 2. Geographical position

Topic Canada History The first people to live in what is now Canada arrive from Asia at least 20 000 years ago. They arrived by a way of a land bridge that once connected Asia and North America at what is now Alaska. In 1497, John Capot, an Italian navigator in the service of England found rich fishing grounds off Canada's southeast coast. France took the lead in exploring the country and set up a colony in eastern Canada in the early 1600's. Great Britain gained control of the country in

On account of the country's proximity to the sea, the skies are often cloudy, and rain often falls in the spring and autumn, in the winter the rain turns to snow. The highest point in Estonia is Suur Munamäg It is in fact the highest point in the Baltic region Forest cover over one half of Estonia. The most common types of tree are pine, spruce and birch. Estonia, along with Finland and Sweden are the countries with the greatest percentage of forested land. Forest management and wood production are particularly important for the Estonian economy. One third of Estonian forests are protected areas. In these protected forests you can come across types of primeval forest cover, which have long ago disappeared from other parts of Europe. Examples of such primeval forests are the Järvselja forest in Tartumaa

It was initially opened in 1857, on 778 acres of cityowned land, later expanding to its current size of 843 acres. Central park is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in New York. 3) Central park which has been a National Historical Landmark since 1962, was designed by landscape architect Frederic Law Olmsted and the English architect Calvert Vaux in1858. It is bordered on the north by Central Park North, on the south by Central Park South, on the west by Central Park West and on the east by Fifth Avenue.

o Animal products - Rainforests provide numerous animal products including honey, game meat, hides and ivory. o Ecosystem services - Rainforests play an important role in maintaining biological diversity, modulating precipitation infiltration and flooding, increasing scientific knowledge and in the spiritual well-being of humans. Boreal forests Boreal forests are also known by name Taiga. The largest areas of boreal forest are located in Russia and Canada, but also in the extreme northern continental United States, in Eurasia (most of Sweden, Finland, inland Norway), northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia and northern Japan. These forests are occupying about 17% of the land and make up 27% of the world's forest cover. Temperature in these forests is usually low, as the canopy allows very low sunlight to penetrate.

Here is a tree which has old bicycle in it. 6.slaid Scientist may strive and work out ,,safe" genetical plant modificating but do we investigate these trees enough, before we start using in forestry? We will never know what could happen. It may not happen today or tomorrow but it can happen in next century. Essentially are GMO trees used by fruit-farmers. Here is a picture of genetically changed tree leaf. (pappel) poplar (Fruit-tree farmers are using it essentially) 7.slaid We have found law-like behaviours in ecosystems. For example when the forest is overflooded, there will be swamp. Our knowledge is getting wider every day. 8.slaid Conclusion We need to be careful before we start developing and taking risks. We need to make difference between trees with meaning and usual trees. We cant cut down trees which have historical meaning
ended some 10,000 years ago, following the retreat of the glaciers and the appearance of vegetation. Today, there are over 1,200 species of vascular plant, 800 bryophytes and 1,000 lichen species in Finland, with flora being richest in the southern parts of the country. Plant life, like most of the Finnish ecology, is well adapted to tolerate the contrasting seasons and extreme weather. Many plant species, such as the Scots Pine, spruce, birch spread throughout Finland from Norway and only reached the western coast less than three millennia ago. Oak and maple grows in nature only in the southern part of Finland. The Archipelago Sea, between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Gulf of Finland, is the largest archipelago in the world by number of islands; estimates vary between 20,000 and 50,000.

Christmas in Australia Christmas in Australia is often very hot. Whereas the northern hemisphere is in the middle of winter, Australians are baking in summer heat. It is not unusual to have Christmas Day well into the mid 30 degrees Celsius, or near 100 degrees Fahrenheit. A traditional meal includes a turkey dinner, with ham, and pork. A flaming Christmas plum pudding is added for dessert. In the Australian gold rushes, Christmas puddings often contained a gold nugget. Today a small favor is baked inside. Whoever finds this knows s/he will enjoy good luck. Another treat is Mince Pies. Some Australians and particularly tourists often have their Christmas dinner at midday on a local beach, Bondi Beach in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs attracts thousands of people on Christmas Day. Other families enjoy their day by having a picnic. If they are at home, the day is punctuated by swimming in a pool, playing Cricket out the backyard, and other outdoor activities.

CANADA Geography Canada is the world's second largest country in total area after Russia , since it covers nearly 10 million square kilometres, but is one of the most sparsely populated, with only about 34 million inhabitants. The majority of them live within 300 kilometres of Canada's southern border. Much of the rest of Canada is uninhabited or thinly populated, because the country has a rugged terrain and severe climate. Canada extends across the continent of North America, from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to British Columbia on the Pacific coast and northward into the Arctic Ocean. Canada shares land borders with the United States to the south and north-west. Canada is a land of great variety. Towering mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and lush, green forests make Canada's far west a beautiful region. Farther inland, fields of wheat and other grains cover Canada's vast prairies
course, an `extra word exercise' about Ireland. The sweetest part will be probably the last one since I used to like the game odd-man-out in middle school. We often played it, as well as Bingo and Puzzle, but finding a word lost in a bizarre of difficultly read context was still my favourite! I have high expectations for it. Unit two is somewhat odd-man-out. It has economy vocabulary and two huge countries: the US and Canada. Especially I'm curious about the last one since one of my favourite music bands, Billy Talent's homeland is Canada. Breaking Benjamin, vocalist number one to my mind, is tightly connected to that wonderful country as well. We studied it casually in form 8, but I'd like to overlearn some facts and maybe even get new ones. Unit three has the honour to gift us reading, grammar, listening and other needful exercises

The Hanseatic Days is a festival for the whole family with an emphasis on learning different techniques, taking part in a range of activities as well as workshops. IX Estonian Linedancing Festival June 14th 15th Linedancing festival, which was originally organised in Pärnu, is now taking place outside its borders in Sassi farm, Audru rural municipality. The festival set a Guinness record in 2006 for the longest line of dancers with 1,246 participants. The record was beaten in Canada last year, so the aim of this year's festival is to get the title back. For that purpose, organizers have invited participants from all over Estonia but also from Lithuania, Latvia and Finland. The recordbreaking event will take place on the first day of the festival on June 14th, 2008. XXII Pärnu Film Festival July 6th 26th The Museum of New Art, Esplanaadi 10, Pärnu
lasts from mid-December to late March. Flora and fauna. Estonia is a small country and areas of unspoiled nature are very rare. Our plants and animals have been developing only for 10000 years, since the last Ice Age, and they are not represented in a great variety. Once Estonia was almost totally covered with forests. In the middle of the 20 th century only about 20% of the land was covered with forests but now the number has increased to 50%. The most common trees are pine, birch, spruce, aspen and oak. Some of the territory of the forests is protected. Forests are the home for many animals. The most common mammals in our forests are the elk, roe deer, wild boar, hare, hedgehog, fox etc. Some endangered species like the brown bear, lynx and wolf are represented in smaller numbers. All in all Estonia is believed to have 40000 living species, but only about 23500 have been so far discovered.
