介绍加拿大的高中英语作文

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.
Canada's 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 peoples.
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.
This began an
accretion of provinces and
territories and a process of
increasing autonomy from the
United Kingdom. This widening
autonomy was highlighted by the
Statute of Westminster of 1931 and
culminated in the Canada Act of
1982, which severed the vestiges
of legal dependence on the British
parliament.
A federation consisting of ten
provinces and three territories,
Canada is governed as a parliamentary democracy and a
constitutional monarchy with
Queen Elizabeth II as its head of
state. It is a bilingual nation with
both English and French as official
languages at the federal level. One
of the world's highly developed
countries, Canada has a diversified
economy that is reliant upon its
abundant natural resources and
upon trade—particularly with the
United States, with which Canada
has had a long and complex
relationship. It is a member of the
G8, G-20, NATO, OECD, WTO,
Commonwealth, Francophonie,
OAS, APEC, and UN.
