I’m from Canada, the second largest country in the world. My country borders on the USA in the north and in the south. Canada shares with the USA seven of the world’s largest lakes. The capital of Canada is Ottawa. In Canada there are people of many nationalities. There are two official languages in Canada: French and English. English spoken in Canada is a bit different from British English. The red and white Canadian flag shows a leaf of the maple tree which grows in North America. The maple leaf is the official emblem of Canada.

Listening and speaking.
– Hi…Where are you from?
Hi, I’m from a small and quiet country in the Pacific Ocean. My country consists of two main islands and some smaller islands. It is called New Zealand. My country looks like Italy upside down. When it is summer in Europe it is winter in New Zealand. When it is time to go to bed in Europe it is time to go to work in my country. The capital of my country is Wellington. The population of my country is mixed. Some Maori people lived here before The British. There are two official languages: English and Maori. English spoken in New Zealand is called Kiwi English . My country is sometimes called “The World’s biggest Farm”. It’s famous for its products: butter, cheese, meat. These are natural, ecologically clean, pure products.
– Thank you for your story. Would you like to ask some questions to our guest?

If I am not mistaken your name is Laura. Are you American?
No, I’m from Australia.
My country is the biggest island and the smallest continent in the world. Australia occupies a whole continent and some islands. It lies between the Pacific and Indian oceans. The population of the country is only 18 million people. There are “original Australians” who lived here long ago. Most of the population came to Australia from Britain, Ireland, Russia and other countries. The capital of Australia is Canberra. English is the official language of Australia but it’s a bit different from American and British English. Australia is famous for its unique wild nature. The symbol of Australia is a kangaroo. I invite you to visit my country some day.

Let’s draw a conclusion about the English language. Opinions can be different. Use as many words and expressions as possible. Try to do your best, pay attention to your grammar.
Why do you learn English?
– To my mind, English is the most popular language in the world. English is spoken in many countries, 30 or more. In different countries English is a bit different, but people can easily understand each other. English is an international language. It is used in international conferences and seminars. It is a language of business, culture, politics and finance. It is used in the Internet communication.
– I think English is a necessary and important subject at school. As for me I do my best for learning English. It will help me in my future. If you want to get a good job you should know English perfectly well. The more I learn English the better my English will be.
– You know I’m a real football fan. I would like to visit Manchester one day. It would be great to watch a football match of my favorite football team “Manchester United”. It would be fantastic to see the play of my beloved football player Rooney. The more I learn English the easier I can understand the British. I do want to master my English.
– As a matter of fact I’m a real traveler. Nothing is more pleasant than traveling round the world. It’s fascinating to come to know about a country, its people, their traditions and customs. I would like to visit Britain one day. I wish my dream came true. It would be cool to make friends with a British girl or boy. Why not communicate on the Internet with him or her, it’ll be a good chance to practise my English. It’ll be a chance in a million. I will never miss it.
The more I travel the more I learn. The more I master my English the better I speak and understand it.
