Hi! I’m from Canada, the second largest country in the world. It’s nearly as big as all of Europe. My country shares with the USA seven of the world’s largest lakes and also has three of the world’s longest rivers.

Roy

The capital of Canada is Ottawa. In Canada there are people of many nationalities. There are two official languages in my country, English and French. English spoken in Canada is a bit different from British English: there are some pronunciation and grammatical differences.

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.

I’m from the USA, or the United States of America. It’s one of the most powerful and advanced countries in the world. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west and from Canada in the north to Mexico in the south. The capital of the USA is Washington, though some people think it’s New York. This famous city is the financial and cultural centre of the USA.

David

The USA has the third largest population in the world. It’s a real melting pot. The English language spoken in my country is known as American English.

There are some differences between British and American English. For example, a film in Britain is a movie in America, a postman is a mailman, the underground is the subway. But people speaking British English can be easily understood in the US. No problem! The second important language in the United States is Spanish.

My country’s motto is “In God We Trust”.

I’m from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Usually it is shortened to the United Kingdom or UK, or Great Britain. My country is an island state. It’s one of the world’s smallest countries — it’s twice as small as France or Spain. However, there are only nine other countries with more people, and London is the world’s seventh biggest city.

Patrick

In Britain you can meet people of many different nationalities.

The capital of the UK is London. The official language is English. Do you know that English is made up of Anglo-Saxon, French and Latin? It also includes a lot of words from Greek and other languages, even Russian.

I’m from a small and quiet country in the Pacific Ocean. My country consists of two main islands and some smaller islands. It looks like Italy upside down.

Yonne

New Zealand is the same distance from Australia as London is from Moscow. When it’s summer in Europe, it’s winter in New Zealand. But the school year still starts in autumn — in February! When it’s time to go to bed in Europe, it’s time to go to work in my country.

The capital of New Zealand is Wellington. The population of my country is mixed. Some people came from Britain years ago. Some Maori people had lived here before the British came. Our official languages are English and Maori. But English is spoken in a very unusual way in New Zealand. It is often called Kiwi English.

New Zealand is sometimes called “The World’s Biggest Farm”. It is famous for its products: butter, cheese, meat.

My country is the biggest island and the smallest continent in the world. Of course, you’ve guessed, it’s Australia. Australia is the only country in the world which occupies a whole continent and some islands around it. It lies between the Indian and the Pacific Oceans. It’s a large country, but its population is only 18.3 million people.

Laura

There are “original Australians” who lived here long ago but most of population came to Australia from Britain, Ireland and other countries years ago. At present in Australia there are a lot of people from Russia. The capital of Australia is Canberra.

English is the official language in Australia. But English spoken in Australia is a bit different from British English and American English. Sometimes Australia is called “the Lucky Country”.

Canada is the second largest country in the world, nearly as big as all of Europe. It shares seven of the world's largest lakes with the USA and has three of the world's longest rivers. Its capital is Ottawa. The country has people of many nationalities and two official languages: English and French. Canadian English has some pronunciation and grammatical differences from British English. The maple leaf, which grows in North America, is the official emblem of Canada.

Канада - вторая по величине страна в мире, почти такая же большая, как вся Европа. Она делит семь крупнейших озер мира с США и имеет три из самых длинных рек мира. Ее столица - Оттава. В стране живут люди многих национальностей, и есть два официальных языка: английский и французский. Канадский английский имеет некоторые произносительные и грамматические отличия от британского английского. Кленовый лист, который растет в Северной Америке, является официальной эмблемой Канады.

The USA is one of the most powerful and advanced countries in the world, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, and from Canada in the north to Mexico in the south. Its capital is Washington, although New York is considered the financial and cultural centre. It has the third largest population in the world and is a real melting pot. American English is the official language, with differences from British English (e.g., "film" vs. "movie," "postman" vs. "mailman," "underground" vs. "subway"). Spanish is the second most important language. The country's motto is "In God We Trust".

США - одна из самых мощных и развитых стран мира, простирающаяся от Атлантического океана на востоке до Тихого океана на западе, и от Канады на севере до Мексики на юге. Ее столица - Вашингтон, хотя Нью-Йорк считается финансовым и культурным центром. США имеют третье по величине население в мире и являются настоящим "плавильным котлом". Американский английский - официальный язык, имеющий отличия от британского английского (например, "film" против "movie", "postman" против "mailman", "underground" против "subway"). Испанский - второй по значимости язык. Девиз страны - "На Бога уповаем".

English is the official language, and it is made up of Anglo-Saxon, French, Latin, Greek, Russian, and other languages.

Соединенное Королевство (Великобритания), или Великобритания, - это островное государство, обычно сокращаемое до СК.

Лондон - седьмой по величине город мира, а также столица СК. Великобритания является домом для людей многих разных национальностей. Английский - официальный язык, и он состоит из англосаксонского, французского, латинского, греческого, русского и других языков.

Yonne (New Zealand):

New Zealand is a small and quiet country in the Pacific Ocean, consisting of two main islands and some smaller islands, and it looks like Italy upside down. Its capital is Wellington. The school year starts in autumn, which is February there. The population is mixed, with some people from Britain and some Maori people, who were the original inhabitants. English and Maori are the official languages, with New Zealand English spoken in a very unusual way, often called Kiwi English. New Zealand is sometimes called "The World's Biggest Farm" and is famous for its products: butter, cheese, and meat.

Новая Зеландия - это маленькая и тихая страна в Тихом океане, состоящая из двух основных островов и нескольких более мелких, и выглядит как перевернутая Италия. Ее столица - Веллингтон. Учебный год начинается осенью, что там в феврале. Население смешанное, с частью людей из Великобритании и частью народа маори, которые были коренными жителями. Английский и маори являются официальными языками, причем новозеландский английский произносится очень необычно, часто называемый "киви-английским". Новую Зеландию иногда называют "Крупнейшей фермой мира", и она славится своей продукцией: маслом, сыром и мясом.

Laura (Australia):

Australia is the biggest island and the smallest continent in the world, occupying a whole continent and some islands around it. It lies between the Indian and Pacific Oceans. It is a large country with a population of only 18.3 million people. While "original Australians" lived there long ago, most of the current population came from Britain, Ireland, and other countries, including people from Russia. Canberra is the capital. English is the official language, and it is spoken a bit differently from British English and American English. Australia is sometimes called "the Lucky Country".

Австралия - это самый большой остров и самый маленький континент в мире, занимающий целый континент и несколько окружающих его островов. Она расположена между Индийским и Тихим океанами. Это большая страна с населением всего 18,3 миллиона человек.
