Transcript

Speaker 1:

Hi, I'm Meg. I do not know if you know much about my country, you've probably never been

there. It is a long way from most other places. I tell you what I really like about living there. I lived

in Sydney, down the south and that's the climate, I mean, we just have a really nice weather almost all year around. And it means you can get outside a lot and go to the beach and just do lots of

things without being stuck inside. There are good things about Australia too, but that's what I like

best. You can have barbecues all year around.

Speaker 2:

I hope that you can understand what I'm saying because English is not my first language. My first

language is Hindi. It's the language of Deli, the city where I live. I speak English quite a lot too.

We used to speak English a lot when I was at school. That's a language we use quite a lot in India

because it's such a big country and there are so many languages here. There are so many

languages, it is impossible to understand anyone else, so some newspapers and things are in

English. But it is not the first language here, in India. If you look at the films, for example, they are

never in English. They are always in one of the Indian languages.

Speaker 3:

I live in Vancouver BC. There are people there from all parts of the world, so you'll see different

kinds of faces and here are lots of kind languages too. Mostly that is because of the immigration of

course. There are lots of immigrants here from Vietnam and Hong Kong and places like that. A lot

of people think that the second language in Canada is French, but it isn't. The second language

here is Chinese. That's because there are so many people from Hong Kong. Everything here is

written in English and French because that is the law in Canada, but you only hear French spoken

over in the East coast.

Speaker 4:

Hi, I live in this land of great music, but that's not here in Jamaica, we love cricket too. You can

see people playing the cricket all over the place. They do not need a special place. And of course,

in Kingston there is a stadium. It is called Sabina park. We played international matches there.

And I love going to watch and listen to other people playing drums and shouting. It is the best

atmosphere in the world.
