Oral Presentation


Hello I’m Pere and I’m going to talk about Canada.
Canada is a country situated on the north of America between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, at the nord it has Polar circle and at the south it has EUA

European browsers arrived on 1497, when Italian seafarer Giovanni Caboto explored Canada's Atlantic coast for England. Between 1498 and 1521, Basque and Portuguese mariners established seasonal whaling and fishing outposts. French explorer Samuel de Champlain arrived in 1603 and established the first permanent European settlements at Port Royal . Years after started wars to control de north of Canada
The English established fishing outposts in Newfoundland around 1610 and established. Four intercolonial wars happened between English and French settles, finally in two treaties French will give to English people Canada and a part of New France at one thousand sixty trhee1763
At 1849 Canada take de independence of UK by the treaty of Oregon with the American help, this happened after a 100 hundred years of argues between Canada and England
Canada is separated in two parts, French part (Ontario and Quebec) or lower Canada and English part or upper Canada. In these parts they speak French and English respectly.
Canada can be divided in 10 provinces and three territories .

Canada is one of the biggest countries in the world that’s why Canada has different biomes or climates like Tundra, Boreal forest, Mixed forest, Broadleaf Forest and Rocky mountains
The most famous and specials animals of Canada are:
- the Polar bear ( who lives on the tundra or the boreal zones, polar circle).
-The reindeer (lives in zones like boreal forests or mixed forests, they could weight more than three hundred kilo’s and 2 meters long)
-The artic hare (the white rabbit, which lives on tundra)
-The red fox (these animal is a dangerous situation because his skin is valued around the world, lives in the low part of Rocky Mountains and on the broadleaf forests
And finally the American Bison is an animal who lives on the tundra or boreal forests; he’s one of the biggest animals of Canada
The main part of the animals is mammals because of the cold and snow they’ve to resist the cold.

IN the two different parts, and the food obviously is different,
On the French part the food is like French cuisine but with ingredients of other countries, because of the colonization these food have parts of Russian, Italian and Germany … The base is the French cuisine and these part is more like Europe than the other.
The English part because of the nealry to EUA has parts of American cuisine. The main ingredient of this cuisine how you know is the meat, they uses meat in each plate. There are like in EUA a lot of fast foods, but the population doesn’t have the same overweight than in EUA
Vancouver a city in Canada had celebrated last year the Olympic Winter Games, because of the snow, Canada is the perfect place to do snow or ski, Canada has a lot of important snowboarders and skiers like Eric Gruay
The Canadian football is much extended in Canada, there are a lot of teams and they play in the American league. In my opinion, but they are not very good.
Finally the main sport of the country is the ice hockey, Canadian team had won several times the Olympic games of ice hockey, and they are really good
