About 550 million people live in North America. That is a large population, but smaller than that of China. The Great Lakes are the largest bodies of fresh water in the world. The Rocky Mountains are the biggest mountains in North America.

The U.S. is also a very large country, and its population is much larger than any other country in North America. It has a population of more than 315 million. The U.S. is often called America. People in the U.S. are called Americans. Most Americans speak English, and many speak Spanish. Of course, there are a lot of Chinese speakers in the U.S., too—more than 2 million!

This is map of North America.
1. To the south of Canada is the United States.
(1). 此句是倒装句。此句的主语是the Uni ted States，to the south of Canada作表语，此句可转换为：
The United States is to the south of Canada. 其中to the south of...意思是“在……的南方”，to要用在方位名词前。
e.g. Japan is to the east of China.
日本位于中国的东边。
Language Points
in 表示A地在B地的范围之内。 China is in the east of Asia.
中国在亚洲东部。
to 表示A地在B地的范围之外，且相隔有一定距离。 Mexico is to the south of the United States.
墨西哥位于美国的南边。
in, to, on和off在方位名词前的区别
(2).【拓展】
on 表示A地与B地接壤毗邻。 Guangdong is on the south of Hunan.广东在湖南南边。
off 表示“离……一些距离”。 New Zealand lies off the eastern coast of Australia.
新西兰位于澳大利亚东海岸附近。
in, to, on和off在方位名词前的区别
2. That is a large population, but smaller than that of China.
that 作代词的特殊用法
本句中的第二个that指代前面提到的population, that 在含有比较级或含有比较意味的句子中, 用来代替前面提到的不可数名词或可数名词单数。
【拓展】those用来代替前面提到的可数名词复数。
e.g.
The weather in Beijing is warmer than that in Shenyang.
北京的天气比沈阳的天气更暖和。
The cookies my mom made are more delicious than those in the bakery.
我妈妈做的甜饼比烘焙店里做的好吃。
3. Most speak English or French, but the third most common language is Chinese!
在形容词最高级的前面加上序数词，即“the＋序数词＋形容词最高级＋名词”表示“第……最……”。
e.g. Hainan Island is the second largest island of China. 海南岛是中国第二大岛。
the+序数词+最高级 第几最……
4. The U. S. is also a very large country, and its population is much larger than any other country in North America.
比较级＋ than ＋ any other ＋可数名词单数
该结构意为“比其他任何一个……都……”，与“比较级＋than＋ the other＋可数名词复数”结构同义，虽为比较级形式，但表示最高级含义
e.g.
China is larger than any other country in Asia.
=China is larger than the other countries in Asia.
中国比亚洲其他任何国家都大。
5. Mexican people love their country, but many leave to live and work in the U.S..
“leave＋地点”表示“离开某地”。
e.g. When did you leave Shanghai
你什么时候离开上海的？
leave /li v/ v. 离开；丢下 (left/left)
“leave for＋地点”表示“动身去某地”。
e.g. Next Friday, Alice is leaving for London.
下周五，艾丽斯要去伦敦了。
“leave＋地点＋for＋地点”表示“离开某地去某地”。
e.g. Why are you leaving Shanghai for Beijing
你为什么要离开上海去北京呢？
