This is the fourth teaching period of this unit. As usual, the teacher will first get students to review what they learned in the last period, and then lead in the new lesson.

We will focus on training students’ listening ability in this period. The listening passage introduces information about the cultural and racial composition of Canada. Canada is one of the few countries that have an official multicultural policy. The population is changing rapidly and immigrants from China are among the most numerous recently. Make sure students go through the exercises before they listen to the tape.
