Unit 1 Blog Entry

PART A
In this unit I learned that Canada is a bilingual country because we speak English and French.
I found it Interesting that just because we are a bilingual countery dosent mean everyone speaks English and French they might speak English and another language.
I can connect what I have learned in this class to foods because we are making food from other countrys.
what surprised me this unit was that most of was that most companies outsource there work to another country so it will be cheaper for them. \
One concept that i am still having difficulty with is all of the vocabolary and knowing what word means what.
One qwestion i still have is why the CRTC makes the commerials louder then the shows.
One skill I found helpful was the word wheel, If i was to teach someone how to use the word wheel i would tell them first to put all 9 words in the middle of the wheel then take one word and put it at the top of the wheel and then pick a second word that is related to the frist word the in the middle of both of the words write why they are related.

PART B


  Outsourcing is when a company sends there work to anothother country and why they do this is because then it is cheaper to get all of the supplys for what ever they are making and then they dont have to pay there workers as much.


PART C

This statement is satying that the french dont have to protect there lanuage becasuse they will speak french for the rest of there lives. Bill 101 is a bill to protect the french lanuage. They sould have passed this law in the first place because they dont want to lose the french lanuage for a new language.

The arguments in favour would be that the french want to keep their lanuage so then they dont lose their caltural identity and the arguments againts would be that the french need more then one language in there country so then they can be bilingual and when visitors go and visit then that person has to speak french or english.

I dont agree and agree with this statment because why should the french have to change thier culture just because someone came to the country and didnt speak french and couldnt understand anyone and me agreeing with it is every country should be bilingual and speak more then one language.
