英文天天寫：加拿大多元化二語言

背景介紹：

Canada is, without a doubt, a country of immigrants. The first groups of people, in the 1800’s, were citizens of France and England hoping to create a better life in the New World. Not much has changed, other than now we have citizens who originated from all over Europe, Asia, the Americas, Australia, and Africa. They, though, did not just originate there; they brought a piece of their home to their new country.

The rate of bilingualism as determined using census data is useful indicator for tracking the evolution of English–French bilingualism in Canada. Although the number of bilingual people in Canada has never stopped increasing over the last 50 years, the rate of bilingualism has dropped slightly in the 10 years preceding the last census. These two apparently contradictory trends are largely the result of reduced exposure to French among Anglophone students outside Quebec, difficulties to retain some knowledge of French, and an increase in the number of immigrants outside Quebec who cannot converse in both official languages.

Bilingualism has never stopped increasing in Quebec so that, when it comes to bilingualism, there are significant differences between Quebec, the only province with a Francophone majority, and the other provinces and the territories. Immigrants in Quebec are more likely to be bilingual, and thus contribute to the increase in bilingualism in the province. Francophones and Anglophones in Quebec are also more likely to remain bilingual over the life cycle, a trend that shows the importance of second-language exposure as a factor behind the retention of bilingualism.

話題：

1. What do you think of Canada's bilingualism and biculturalism?

2. Do you prefer two official languages in a country, why and why not?

3. Open discussion: Canadian Diversity (You can do some research and share your ideas)

范例1：

As experienced life and study in Canada for over 4 years, most of the provinces here mainly speak English. Although the development of bilingualism formed in the past history due to large portion of Francophones, the fact is that only Quebec (Montreal) speak French most times and majority in Canada only use English. For the convenience, I would say the one official language could perform better in communication and the second language education could be strengthened for the competition worldwide in the future.
