加拿大位於北美洲的北半部, 南面与美国接壤, 国境线长达八千九百公里, 是世界上海岸线最长的国家。由十个省份及叁个区域组成, 是全世界第二大之国家。加拿大在2011年联合国排名中跻身为世界前10名拥有优质生活及预期寿命国家之一。被称为最友善、安全和美丽的国家。
作为这几年留学的热门国家,很多同学们会选择来加拿大留学,优成教育这就给同学们列出来六条关于加拿大好玩以及与我们国内不同的事情。
1. The grading system is different between China and Canada.
中国和加拿大的评级制度不同。
Most international students are used to the letters system, based on a letter from A to F, which ranges from superior to average performance to failure. Many colleges and universities in Canada use this scale to evaluate how well students are performing.
Your grade-point average based on a scale of 4.0 in most universities, and high schools – through some colleges use 5.0 – with a minimum division of 0.01.
To get close to a GPA4.0, you will need to get all A's for all of your courses. However, these are only the most common rules, and grading policies vary among universities and sometimes even classes within a university.
在加拿大,成绩的计算是不同于中国的。说到成绩,大部分的留学生习惯于没有具体数值的字母打分系统。这个系统分为A到F的级别,A代表着高于平均水平而F代表着失败的表现。很多加拿大的社区大学用这种级别来评判一个学生在课堂上的表现。
你的平均成绩会基于一个4.0的评分级别(有的大学运用5.0为基准),最小的单位是0.01。为了整体的成绩靠近4.0,你会需要得到全A对你所有的课。然而,这里我们所说的只是最普遍的规则。成绩的政策是不同于每个大学甚至有的时候同一所大学的有些课也是不同的。

2. There‘s no College entrance examination or SAT in Canada( except if you want to go to the USA for post-secondary education).
加拿大没有大学入学考试或SAT考试(除非你想去美国接受高等教育) Canadian colleges and universities value extra-curricular activities and curriculum grades more, especially in grade 11 and 12. Universities will examine all course grade in these two years and make a final decision based on the best six-course grades in grade 12. Some programs also have specific subjects to look at. 在加拿大高中,没有和“高考”一样的最终考试。北美的大学更重视课外活动和课程成绩,特别是在11年级和12年级。大学将在这两年内检查所有课程成绩,并根据12年级的最佳六门课程作出最终决定。具体的专业会需要看个别几门专业相关的科目成绩。

3.Diversity and Acceptance 文化的多样化和包容性
Another fun the fact that Canadians are pride themselves with is their diversity and high acceptance for different religion, lifestyles, sex, mother language, and much more. In Canada, people are from everywhere in the world. Such as Chinese, Indian, indigenous group, and middle eastern. Also, same-sex marriage is allowed in Canada.
另加拿大人自豪的另一个有趣的事实是他们的文化多样性和对不同宗教与文化的包容性,以及对生活方式,性别,母语等的高度接受和开发的态度。在加拿大,人们来自世界各地。如中国,印度,土着群体和中东。

4.Better food quality in Canada. 加拿大的食品质量更好。
For example, no cows in Canada given artificial hormones for extra milk production. Which means no dairy products, like milk, cheese, or yogurt produced in Canada, contain hormones!
加拿大不仅拥有得天独厚的优美自然环境,优质的教育以及完善的社会福利,在食品安全方面也是非常值得一说的,在全世界食品安全之首的不是欧洲更不是美国而是——加拿大。例如,加拿大没有奶牛给人工荷尔蒙产奶。这意味着没有乳制品,如加拿大生产的牛奶,奶酪或酸奶,都含有激素!
加拿大还专门设有专业的食品检验局—— CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency,加拿大食品检验局)是负责加拿大食品、动植物保护的管理机构,他们派出的一线质检员每天都会深入食品生产厂家,确保这些工场的生产流程符合相关要求和条例。

5. The World Most Educated Country. 世界上最受教育程度最高的国家。 At least 56% of the total population in Canada has earned a certificate for their education after high-school. That’s about 6% more than Japan in second place. That’s quite an achievement and something to be proud of. 加拿大总人口中至少有56%的人在高中毕业后获得了教育证书。这比日本排在第二位的约6%。这是一项非常成就,值得骄傲的事情。近日经济合作与发展组织(OECD)发布的报告显示的受过最多教育的5个国家: #5.英国 45.96% #4.韩国 46.86% #3.以色列 49.90% #2.日本 50.50% #1.加拿大 56.27%

6. Poutine, originally from Quebec.
Poutine,最初来自魁北克省。 It is a mix of Fries topped with cheese curds and gravy. It was invented in the late 1950s. It is now a classic Canadian meal available anywhere in the country. It has been called "Canada's national dish." There are many variations of poutine on the original recipe popular, leading some to suggest that poutine has emerged as a new dish classification in its own right, just as with burgers and pizza. 它是由薯条配上奶酪凝乳和肉汁的混合物。它发明于20世纪50年代后期。它现在是在加拿大全国任何地方都能买到的,被誉为经典的加拿大餐点。 在原有食谱上,由Poutin变化许多餐点也都很受欢迎,这使得一些人认为,与“三明治”和“饺子”一样,Poutine本身已经成为一种新的菜肴分类。
