(Your introduction should include the following topics: location, size, capital, national flower, national animal, population, language, climate and natural resources.)Sample: Canada, which lies in the north of North America, is a multicultural country with Ottawa as its capital. The maple is the national flower and the beaver is the national animal. Canada is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east, the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Arctic Ocean on the north. It is the second largest country in the world, covering an area of 9.98 million square kilometers. The distance from east to west is over 5,500 kilometres. There are two official languages spoken in Canada, French and English. As in China, the climate is quite different from area to area. Canada is quite empty with a population of only slightly over 30 million, most of whom live within 320 kilometres of the USA border. Canada is rich in natural resources. Much of the country is covered by forests and wood is sold all over the world. It has one third of the worlds supply of fresh water, much of which is in the five Great Lakes. Fishing is also important for Canadians.T: Do you know any cities in Canada? Talk about the cities that you know.S: Besides the capital city Ottawa, Canada has many other important cities.

Recorded history of Iqaluit dates back to 1576, when Martin Frobisher arrived at this port city. Iqaluit has a typically arctic climate, with very cold winters and short summers. It experiences 24 hours of daylight per day in June, and six hours per day in December. The average temperature in January is -35degrees and in July is 15degrees. Iqaluit has a population of about 6000, of which about 60% are Inuit. The Inuit are the original people of Canada, who used to live by hunting and fishing and live in movable houses and tents. But today, many Inuit are living in towns and developing business.單位：湖北省荊門姓名：李國(guó)E_mail：liguo619
