Canada & China

Hey Guys!

Welcome to assignment #23! Tomorrow, we are going to have two new exchange students who come all the way from China to learn more English, and our Canadian Culture.
So, Ms.Pollock has us comparing the two countries.

>In China, an average male goes to school for 11 years, and the average girl goes to school for about two years.

>In Canada, both male and female go to school for 17 years.

I'm inferring that people who go to school in China have more challenging work than Canadian students in the same grade, because in China they only have 11 years in school. So I guess they have to learn so much more in school, to fit their school life expectancy.

>In China, their common religions consist of; Taoist, and Buddhist. 3-4% of Christan, and 1-2% of Muslim.

>In Canada, our common religions are; Roman Catholic, Protestant, Anglican, Baptist, and 1-2% Muslim. 
>Where we live, Canada seems as if the common religion in general, is Christianity. In China, they have their own general religion, which the two (Taoist & Buddhist), seem to be the same a swell
                                                   
                                                                    Taoist Symbol. 
                        
               Taoist Temple.                                                                               Catholic Church.

>In China the common ethnic group is Han Chinese, with a percentage of 91.5%. And 'other nationalities' have a percentage of 8.5%. 
>In Canada, the common ethnic group here, is British (28%) and French (23%) origins. 'Mixed background,' has a percentage of 26%.
>Canada seems to have more multicultural backgrounds, than in China, when most of the people are the same ethnic.

So yes, I'm done. Thanks to CIA - The World Fact book, for all this interesting information.
