今天是加拿大的国庆，

大人，孩子们扛着椅子，提着野炊的食物，饮料，及铺在草地上的毯子，来到了这个小小的公园，算是来庆祝国庆。

主持单位也搭了台子，有唱，有跳，人人还拿着个小旗子，孩子们的脸上画了国旗的图案。

当地的一名歌手领唱了加拿大国歌。大家还是马上停下戏闹，毕恭毕敬的站在那里唱起了 OH ， CANADA 。

虽然本人已经来了快 20 年，至今还是不会唱那个国歌。听起来好像是催眠曲似的，一点也提不起精神，歌词又难记。根本无法与咱们中国的国歌相比。每次一听中国的国歌，起来，不愿做奴隶的人们，真的马上会坐直身子，能把我的每一个神经细胞都给振奋起来。也许正因为如此，我们每个中国人还是特别的爱国，虽然我们嘴上有时会骂骂列列，但心里还是我是中国人，我爱我的中国。

台子总算搭起来了，

据说，在这小城，很少能看见那么多人

 

算挺热闹的一天，

孩子们在化妆

算有几个观众

义工和孩子们

今天的警察很和善 ，希望他们下次给开罚单的时候，手下留情。

以下是摘自加拿大网站。

Throughout our study on Canada, many questions came up about our country that we decided to try to find the answers to. If any child had a question, it was recorded, then as a class we searched the internet and resource books to seek the answer. Here is a list of questions about Canada that we researched. I kept a list of the questions, then typed out both them, and the answers that were discovered. These were made into a special book that was named "Canadian Kids Trivia", and was given to each child at the end of our theme. You might be very interested to know what our kids wanted to know about our great country, so we'd like to share our list with you!
