Teacher: (слайд 3) What are the symbols of Canada? (Pupils respond)

(flag) Do you know what the red and the white colors mean?

Pupil 1:  History records that in the First Crusade Bohemund I, a Norman lord, had red crosses cut from his mantles and distributed to the 12,000 crusaders, who wore them as a distinctive badge on their garments. In subsequent crusades, each nation was distinguished by a cross of a different colour. France long had a red cross on its banners while England used a white cross. Time and again in history red and white are found as the colours of France or of England. Red and white were approved as Canada's official colours in the proclamation of her coat of arms in 1921

(maple leaf)  Pupil 2:  In 1957, the colour of the maple leaves on the shield of the Royal Arms of Canada was changed from green on a white ground to red on a white ground in recognition of Canada's official colours.

What is the origin of the word Canada?

Pupil 3: In 1535, two Indian Youths told Jacques Cartier about the route to "kanata." They were referring to the village of Stadacona; "kanata" was simply the Huron-Iroquois word for "village" or "settlement." But for want of another name, Cartier used "Canada" to refer not only to Stadacona (the site of present day Quebec City), but also to the entire area subject to its chief, Donnacona. The name was soon applied to a much larger area: maps in 1547 designated everything north of the St. Lawrence River as "Canada. "Cartier also called the St. Lawrence River the "rivière de Canada", a name used until the early 1600s. By 1616, although the entire region was known as New France, the area along the great river of Canada and the Gulf of St. Lawrence was still called Canada. Soon explorers and fur traders opened up territory to the west and to the south and the area depicted as "Canada" grew. In the early 1700s, the name referred to all lands in what is now the American Midwest and as far south as the present day Louisiana. The first use of "Canada" as an official name came in 1791 when the Province of Quebec was divided into the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada. In 1841, the two Canadas were again united under one name, the Province of Canada. At the time of Confederation, the new country assumed the name of Canada.

Dialogue 1

Mark: Excuse me, there's been a mistake. We were expecting a suite instead of a double room.

Hotel clerk: Oh, I'm sorry. Let me check on that for you. Do you have your confirmation  number?

Mark: I have it right here. It's 2473HJ25.

Hotel clerk: OK. Let me check the system. As a matter of fact, we do have some suites available.    Would you like the one overlooking the gardens?

Mark: We were hoping to have a view of the ocean.

Hotel clerk: I have a suite on the ocean side, but it doesn't have a full living room.

Mark: that's fine, as long as it has a good-sized desk and phone jack for the computer. My wife was going to leave her laptop at home, but she changed her mind at the last minute.

Hotel clerk: Let me check on that for you, sir. Yesterday they were doing a lot of work on the phone lines, but I think they're working fine now.

Mark: Good.

Hotel clerk: Now I see why there was a mix-up about the rooms. We were expecting two different people under the name "Bailey". The other Bailey reservation was for a regular double room.

Mark: I was wondering why you mentioned the name Michael. I thought it was just a simple mistake.

Hotel clerk: I apologize for the mix-up. You're now in room 507.

Mark: Could you send the bellman up right away to transfer my luggage?
