Варианты ответов
- A. It happened in the 16th century. The French explorer, Jacques Cartier, came to North America. It was a new land for the Europeans, and the travellers understood how dangerous it could be. Fortunately, the locals were friendly. The native people invited Jacque Cartier and his sailors to their ‘kanata’. In the local language ‘kanata’ meant ‘village’, but Jacque Cartier decided that it was the name of their country. Because of this misunderstanding we still call the country Canada (‘kanata’).
- B. Do you know what city is the capital of Australia? It’s Canberra. The story of how Canberra became the capital city is quite unusual. The problem was that the two largest and most important Australian cities, Sydney and Melbourne, argued about which of them was better. To stop the dispute it was decided to build a new city on equal distances from each of them. Canberra was built and in 1908 it became the capital of Australia. The amusing thing is that a mistake was made and Canberra is much closer to Sydney than to Melbourne.
- C. Most people in New Zealand speak English but the language of Maori is also an official language of the country. Maori are the local people who inhabited New Zealand long before Europeans came to there. To keep their language alive and to show the due respect to the native people, in 1987 the Maori language was recognized as an official language. For the same reason, in 2006, the country accepted Sign Language (the language that the deaf people use to communicate) as a third official language.
- D. England has survived many invasions, which made changes in the locals’ lifestyle and language. For example, when in the 11th century, the Normans came to England, they brought their laws and customs and their language, of course. It was the Norman dialect of French. Norman French was used as the official language of the country for three hundred years. It changed the English language greatly as it accepted a lot of words that are French in origin. Now French is the most popular foreign language British students study at school. It’s probably because it sounds less foreign to them than the other languages.
- E. The frozen land of Alaska is a tough place to live in. That was probably the reason why in the 19th century Russia decided to sell it to America. For many years the Americans thought it was a useless purchase and were angry with William H. Seward, the Secretary of State for arranging the deal. However, later they changed their opi¬nion — the land turned out to be rich in oil and gold. Now Alaska is the largest state in the USA. It is also the most northern and the most western part of the country.
