Canada is the second largest country in the world. Only Russia has a greater land area. 
Canada is situated in North America. Canada is slightly larger than the United States, but has 
about a tenth as many people. Canada has an area of nearly ten million square kilometers, 
stretching from the Pacific Ocean in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. There are many 
islands in the north of Canada in the Arctic Ocean. 
Canada has mountains, high plains and low plains. The Rocky Mountains run parallel to 
the Pacific coast. East of these mountains are the high plains. The low plains lie in the region of 
the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River. There are also mountains which run parallel to 
Canada's east coast, through Labrador and Baffin Island. 
Canada is a country of lakes. Besides the Great Lakes, Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario 
(the fifth Great Lake, Michigan, lies in the USA),' there are many other very large lakes, for 
example, Great Bear Lake, Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg. 
Canada also has large rivers. The Mackenzie flows from the Rocky Mountains into the 
Arctic Ocean, the Yukon starts in Canada and flows into the Pacific and the St. Lawrence River 
flows into the Atlantic Ocean. 
Climate: Canada has several climatic regions. Winter in Canada lasts from four to five 
months with heavy snowfalls. There is much rain in the east and
west, but less in the centre. The north of the country near the Arctic is tundra, with great forests 
to the south. The central plains form the prairies.
