Now more than half of Canadians have British or French blood. ③ The rest are from every part of the world：Asia, Africa, Central America, South America, Australia and other European countries. ④
这几个词语让我们清楚地了
解了加拿大人口的构成比例。
Canada became a country in 1867, and for more than a hundred years, most immigrants in the country were from Europe. In the 1970s and 1980s, that changed. ⑤ According to a survey, the number of European immigrants dropped from 90 percent to 25 percent, and the number of Asian immigrants rose from 3 percent to 48 percent. ⑥
具体数字的多次使用，增强了文章的说服力，使说明更准确。
Although Canada has two official languages—English and French, most Canadians do not speak both. Many immigrants speak two languages—the language of their first country and English or French. Canada welcomes cultural differences in the people who live there.
So what is a Canadian That's a little hard to describe. Canada does not have one culture—it has many. It is important that people from different cultures can live together in one country.
恰当地使用破折号，起到了解释说明的作用。
Is there a Canadian food Not really. Is there a Canadian religion No. Is there a Canadian kind of music No again. Is there a Canadian way of understanding the world Yes. It‘s that people should respect and accept one another and help one another.⑦ It’s important to keep different languages, religions and customs alive.⑧
