Canadian Contribution for World Peace
I have read Suresh Canagarajah's article ' The Fortunate Traveler: Shuttling between Communities and Literacies by Economy Class '. He is a good writer and he has many good idea about learning English to improve literacies. In Suresh Canagarajah's opinion, every English learners need to find a adaptive way, that will enhance their interests to learn English. Countries' tradition is influencing local people's aethestic standard, so many readers are hard to accept foreign writing style. As a entreprenant writer, when they faced to conflicting and competing in different communities, they will adjust their writing style. Suresh believes that "a curiosity towards the language, the ability to intuit languistic rules from observation of actual usage, a metalinguistic awareness of the system behind languages, and the ability to creatively negotiate meaning in text are the good strategy to improve literacy". In my heart, Chinese is my mother language, and I always talk with my Chinese friends. I'm afraid of saying something to for English speaker. When I sit on the subway or bus, sometimes I will pay attention to somebody's conversation. At the beginning, I can catch a little information, but gradually I feel it's hard to follow them. At last, I feel depressed and give up. In Canada, English is used in everywhere. We can learn many grammar and syntactic from there as long as carefully observed. When we read a long article, we maybe feel it's difficult to finish and understand its meaning. I was accustomed to translate word by word, I know it's a bad reading habit. In fact, understand the meaning in context can accurately know what message author want to deliver to readers. I think these suggestions are useful. When Suresh Canagarajah come to western academic community, he hasn't get the expected praise. Suresh believes that "the exaggerated, passionate personalized style of writing wasn't universally appreciated in the academic community". Because Western academic

Starting out as just a colony of Great Britain, Canada was in the control of the overarching British Empire. However, Canada now has emerged as a sovereign state, in control of its own future. A major contributing factor to Canada ultimately reaching autonomy has been its participation in war and peacekeeping efforts. Contributions made in war efforts such as WWI and WWII have allowed Canada to demonstrate just how influential and powerful the country can be. Even though Canada entered WWI under the order of Great Britain, Canada’s showing at the battle of Vimy Ridge helped it emerge as a more independent country, gaining its own seat in the League of Nations. After participation in World War Two, Canada once again progressed in independence and earned the right to be a founding member in both NATO and the UN. Along with wars, Canada has made many contributions to peacekeeping. Canadian Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson, is considered a founder of modern peacekeeping after his efforts in the Suez Canal Crisis during the Cold War Era.…

    Canada, although not a superpower during the Second World War, made many contributions that greatly helped the Allied cause. Though major players such as Britain and the United States are often largely credited for the Allied Victory in WWII, the aid sent to these superpowers from countries such as Canada was instrumental in ensuring victory for the Allies.

As the war came to a close, the Soviets laid claim to much of Eastern Europe and the Northern half of Korea. They also attempted to occupy Japanese northernmost island of Hokkaido and lent logistic and military support to Mao Zedong in his efforts to overthrow the Chinese Nationalist forces.

    On August 4th 1914, Great Britain declared war on Germany. “When Britain is at war, Canada is at war,” said Prime Minister of Canada Sir Wilfred Laurier in 1910.[1] His comments reflected the view of most Canadians at the time; an identity firmly planted in British sovereignty. Canadians did their part and made their contribution initially consisting of one division, later followed by three more, creating the first Canadian Corps. The performance of the Canadian Corps at the battles of Ypres and Somme during the war, instilled pride in soldiers, and that of the Nation they fought gallantly for. The battle of Vimy Ridge in particular “symbolized Canada’s coming of age as a Nation.”[2] Canada saw the evolution of its army from a single division under the command of the British to a remarkable fighting Corps under the command of one of her own people. The performance of her militia as well as the experiences and contributions made by Canada during the war, inspired the transformation of the colony to a proud Nation.…

Peacekeeping, since the conclusion of the Cold War, however, is a myth. This essay will explore the history of peacekeeping, its use as a tool during the Cold War, and Canada's very prominent role in its development and use. Peacekeeping, in the traditional sense of the word, ended in the 1980s.…

    As Abraham Lincoln once said “I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him”, Canada’s war effort likewise rippled a similar nationalistic sentiment. Although more than half a million Canadian enlisted and fought. With severe casualties, Britain nonetheless pressured Borden to raise more soldiers for the war effort. But not only casualties discouraged men to take part, the nationalistic loyalty of French-Canadians was heavily conflicted.…

In addition to having the control of being a multilingual speaker, Canagarajah’s parents used English to communicate or discuss certain things, in order for the maid and people around them not having any clue what they were discussing about. This mystery about English leads Canagarajah to believe as a child that English was a language of secrecy, power and mystery (24). Then he realized that it was a disadvantage to the monolingual speakers, like himself. Then again, later he was adequately significant to address the issue towards that…
