Ms. Morin teaches English in Edmonton. The students in her class come from all over the world. Last week, she asked her students to prepare presentations about their home countries. Today is the time to “show and tell”.
Mariana
Today I want to tell you about my home country—Brazil. It's the largest country in South America. It has a huge river called the Amazon and a rainforest with more trees than you can imagine. My people are known for our fun dances and colourful culture.
Akia
Ten years ago, my family came to Canada. We came from Turkey. Do you know that Turkey is in both Europe and Asia? There is a famous bridge called the Bosphorous Bridge. It connects Europe and Asia. Turkey is modern and old, rich and poor. Everything comes together to make it a great place to discover.

I was born in Egypt. Many tourists know about the pyramids, but there are other interesting things to see and do in Egypt. You can relax on a boat tour of the Nile. You can ride a camel in the Sahara Desert or walk in the ancient markets in Cairo. Many things in Egypt will surprise you, not just the pyramids.
Liu Yang
I'm from China. My country has a long history and rich culture. It has the largest population in the world. It has developed quickly in recent years. The Great Wall and the Terra Cotta Warriors are famous all around the world.
More students come to the front to talk about their countries with pride. All of them are proud of their home countries.
