One Canada，Two Languages

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages：English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.

Canada left the British empire(帝國) in 1867 to become an independent country，and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.

Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast，F(xiàn)rench television is very rare.

The same goes for traffic signs and menus，for example，outside of Quebec，there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants，it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地帶) of French Canada. However，all products sold in Canada must，by law，have labels (標簽) and instructions in both languages.

In Canada’s English speaking provinces，official bilingualism(雙語)means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this programme，they are taught most of their subjects in French.

If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼兒園) or Grade One，it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However，if they start at junior high school，25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.
