Recently，I moved from England to Canada.I teach English in a middle school.I thought that Canada would be a second home since we speak the same language.However，it turns out that there are some differences they don't show you on TV，or in books!
|
Stop signs Even when driving in the middle of the night，every Canadian I've seen will stop at the stop signs in the street.It seems that Canadians are much more careful drivers. |
|
Electrical plugs In England，electrical plugs for your computers or mobile phones are heavy and solid（堅硬的）.In Canada，they always fall out of the wall. Not great when you' re drying your hair! |
|
Water Seriously，in Canada，water fountains（飲水器）are everywhere!It's convenient，especially in places like supermarkets and parks.Somebody told me this is because Canada has a lot of fresh water. |
|
Advertisements（廣告）on TV A one-hour TV show in Canada is actually only about 50 minutes；the other 10 minutes are advertisements.I'll never complain（抱怨） about advertisements on British TV again because some British channels（頻道）don't have any advertisements at all! |
