strip

3

the

southern

border .

Over

25

percent

of

the

4

number

live

in

the

three

main

cities.

The

northern

areas

of

the

country

are

almost

uninhabited

5

for isolated settlements. Canada is

6

a rich country, and its national

7

per

capita

is

fifth

highest

in

the

world,

but

its

economy

in

recent

years

has

been

rather

8

because of the varied nature of what it does. Over the last three years, the Canadian economy

has been hard

9 by falling oil prices and by rising US interest

10

.This has 11

to a steep

fall in industry

——

by as much as a fifth since 1981. Some 12

now think Canada is on the 13

What

do

we

mean

1

a

perfect

English

pronunciation?

In

one

sense

there

are

as

many

different kinds of English as there are speakers of it.

2

two speakers speak in exactly the

same

most 15

way is to take the sort of English you can hear most often as your mode.
