今天是加拿大的國慶，

大人，孩子們扛著椅子，提著野炊的食物，飲料，及鋪在草地上的毯子，來到了這個小小的公園，算是來慶祝國慶。

主持單位也搭了台子，有唱，有跳，人人還拿著個小旗子，孩子們的臉上畫了國旗的圖案。

當地的一名歌手領唱了加拿大國歌。大家還是馬上停下戲鬧，畢恭畢敬的站在那裏唱起了 OH ， CANADA 。

雖然本人已經來了快 20 年，至今還是不會唱那個國歌。聽起來好像是催眠曲似的，一點也提不起精神，歌詞又難記。根本無法與咱們中國的國歌相比。每次一聽中國的國歌，起來，不願做奴隸的人們，真的馬上會坐直身子，能把我的每一個神經細胞都給振奮起來。也許正因為如此，我們每個中國人還是特別的愛國，雖然我們嘴上有時會罵罵列列，但心裏還是我是中國人，我愛我的中國。

台子總算搭起來了，

據說，在這小城，很少能看見那麽多人

 

算挺熱鬧的一天，

孩子們在化妝

算有幾個觀眾

義工和孩子們

今天的警察很和善 ，希望他們下次給開罰單的時候，手下留情。

以下是摘自加拿大網站。

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!
