    Mr and Mrs White have three daughters. They are Alice, Kitty and Rose. Rose is the youngest of the three daughters. She is two years younger than Alice. Alice is thirteen. She and Kitty are twins. They are all pretty and lovely. They study in the same school. Their parents are both doctors, but they don't work in the same hospital. They love their daughters very much.

    Mr White likes music very much. He always listens to music when he drives the car. And he likes reading books, too. After dinner he helps the children with their studies, and then he goes into the study to read books. He goes to bed very late. Father's Day is coming. What presents do the children give to their father? The youngest sister wants to buy a watch for her father, but she doesn't have enough money. She buys a book as a Father's Day gift. And the twin sisters buy some CDs for their father. Mr White is very happy when he gets these presents.

    Canada and the US are neighbours. Ottawa is the capital of Canada.

There are many large rivers and lakes in Canada. Niagara Falls is very famous.

    There are many interesting things about Canada. It is a nation of differences.

    In the north, there is almost ice and snow all year around. In the south, there are great forests. One very important difference in Canada is language. Most Canadians speak English, but some speak French. Many people in Canada speak both English and French.
