Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 7 to 16
Canadian English is a regional variety of North American English that spans almost the entire continent. Canadian English became a separate variety of North American English after the American Revolution, when thousands of Loyalists, people who had supported the British, left the United States and fled north to Canada. Many Loyalists settled in southern Ontario in the 1780s, and their speech became the basis for what is called General Canadian, a definition based on the norms of urban middle-class speech.
Tiếng Anh Canada là sự khác biệt vùng miền của tiếng Anh Bắc Mỹ trải dài gần như toàn bộ châu lục. Tiếng Anh Canada trở thành sự khác biệt của tiếng Anh Bắc Mỹ sau cuộc cách mạng Mỹ, khi hàng ngàn người trung thành- những người ủng hộ người Anh, rời khỏi Hoa Kỳ và chạy lên phía Bắc tới Canada. Nhiều người trung thành đã định cư ở nam Ontario vào những năm 1780 và giọng nói của họ đã trở thành giọng cơ bản của những người Canada, một định nghĩa dựa trên các tiêu chuẩn của giọng của tầng lớp trung lưu ở đô thị.
Modern Canadian English is usually defined by the ways in which it resembles and differs from American or British English. Canadian English has a great deal in common with the English spoken in the United States, yet many Americans identify a Canadian accent as British. Many American visitors to Canada think the Canadian vocabulary sounds British – for example, they notice the British “tap” and “braces” instead of the American “faucet” and “suspenders”. On the other hand, many British people identify a Canadian accent as American, and British visitors think the Canadians have become Americanized, saying “gas” and “truck” for “petrol” and “lorry”.
Tiếng Anh Canada hiện đại thường được định nghĩa bởi những điểm giống và khác với tiếng Anh Mỹ hay tiếng Anh Anh. Tiếng Anh Canada có rất nhiều điểm giống với tiếng Anh nói ở Hoa Kỳ, tuy nhiên, nhiều người Mỹ lại định nghĩa giọng người Canada giống giọng người Anh. Nhiều khách du lịch Mỹ tới Canada nghĩ rằng từ vựng của người Canada nghe giống như của người Anh- ví dụ, họ thấy là người Canada dùng từ "tap" và "braces" thay vì từ "faucet" và "suspenders" của người Mỹ. Mặt khác, nhiều người Anh lại cho rằng giọng Canada giống giọng người Mỹ, và du khách người Anh nghĩ rằng người Canada đã trở nên Mỹ hóa, họ nói "gas" và "truck" để nói về "petrol" và "lorry".
People who live outside North America often find it difficult to hear the differences between Canadian and American English. There are many similarities between the two varieties, yet they are far from identical. Canadian English is instantly recognizable to other Canadians, and one Canadian in a crowded room will easily spot the other Canadian among the North Americans.
Những người sống ngoài khu vực Bắc Mỹ thường gặp khó khăn để phân biệt sự khác nhau giữa tiếng Anh Canada và tiếng Anh Mỹ. Có rất nhiều điểm giống nhau giữa hai biến thể này, tuy nhiên, hai ngôn ngữ này vẫn khác nhau nhiều. Tiếng Anh Canada được những người Canada nhận ra một cách nhanh chóng, và một người Canada ở trong căn phòng đông đúc có thể dễ dàng tìm thấy những người Canada khác giữa những người Bắc Mỹ. 
There is no distinctive Canadian grammar. The differences are mainly in pronunciation, vocabulary, and idioms. Canadian pronunciation reflects the experience of a people struggling for national identity against two strong influences. About 75 per cent of Canadians use the English “zed” rather than the American “zee” for the name of the last letter of the alphabet. On the other hand, 75 per cent of Canadians use the American pronunciation of “schedule”, “tomato”, and “missile”. The most obvious and distinctive feature of Canadian speech is probably its vowel sound, the diphthong “/ou/”. In Canada, “out” is pronounced like “oat” in nearby U.S. accents. There are other identifying features of Canadian vowels: for example, “cot” is pronounced the same as “caught” and “collar” the same as “caller”.
Ngữ pháp tiếng Canada không có gì đặc biệt. Sự khác biệt chủ yếu là ở phát âm, từ vựng và thành ngữ. Cách phát âm tiếng Canada phản ánh kinh nghiệm của một người đang đấu tranh vì bản sắc dân tộc trước hai ảnh hưởng mạnh mẽ. Khoảng 75 phần trăm người Canada sử dụng từ của Anh Anh "zed" hơn là từ Anh Mỹ "zee" để gọi tên của chữ cái cuối cùng trong bảng chữ cái. Mặt khác, 75% người Canada sử dụng các phát âm của người Mỹ đối với các từ "schedule", "tomato" và "missile". Điểm rõ rằng và đặc biệt nhất của giọng Canada có lẽ là những nguyên âm, nguyen âm đôi “/ou/”. Ở Canada, từ "out" được phát âm giống như "oat" của Mỹ. Còn có các đặc điểm khác xác định nguyên âm tiếng Canada như "cot" được phát âm giống như "caught" và "collar" giống như "caller".
An important characteristic of the vocabulary of Canadian English is the use of many words and phrases originating in Canada itself, such as “kerosene” and “chesterfield” (“sofa”). Several words are borrowed from North American Indian languages, for example, “kayak”, “caribou”, “parka”, and “skookum” (“strong”). The name of the country itself has an Indian origin; the Iroquois word “kanata” originally meant “village”. A number of terms for ice hockey – “face-off”, “blue-line”, and “puck” – have become part of World Standard English.
Một đặc điểm quan trọng của từ vựng tiếng Anh Canada là việc sử dụng nhiều từ và cụm từ có nguồn gốc từ chính Canada, chẳng hạn như "kerosene" và "chesterfield" ("sofa"). Một số từ được mượn từ ngữ Ấn Bắc Mỹ, chẳng hạn như "kayak", “kayak”, “caribou”, “parka”, and “skookum” (“strong”). Tên của chính Canada cũng có nguồn gốc từ tiếng Ấn. Từ "kanata" ban đầu có nghĩa là "village". Một số thuật ngữ cho môn hockey trên băng- "face off", "blue-line" và "puck" đã trở thành một phần của tiếng Anh tiêu chuẩn thế giới. 
Some features of Canadian English seem to be unique and are often deliberately identified with Canadian speakers in such contexts as dramatic and literary characterizations. Among the original Canadian idioms, perhaps the most famous is the almost universal use of “eh?” as a tag question, as in “That’s a good movie, eh?” “Eh” is also used as a filler during a narrative, as in “I’m walking home from work, eh, and I’m thinking about dinner. I finally get home, eh, and the refrigerator is empty.”
Một vài đặc điểm của tiếng Anh Canada dường như đã trở thành duy nhất và thường được gán có chủ ý với những người nói tiếng Canada ở trong những bối cảnh như văn học và kịch. Trong số những thành ngữ gốc Canada, có lẽ phổ biến nhất là việc sử dụng gần như phổ dụng của từ "eh?" như câu hỏi đuôi, như trong câu "That's a good movie, eh?". "Eh" còn được sử dụng giống như một từ thêm vào trong một câu chuyện, như trong câu “I’m walking home from work, eh, and I’m thinking about dinner. I finally get home, eh, and the refrigerator is empty.”
The traditional view holds that there are no dialects in Canadian English and that Canadians cannot tell where other Canadians are from just by listening to them. The linguists of today disagree with this view. While there is a greater degree of homogeneity in Canadian English compared with American English, several dialect areas do exist across Canada. Linguists have identified distinct dialects for the Maritime Provinces, Newfoundland, the Ottawa Valley, southern Ontario, the Prairie Provinces, the Arctic North, and the West.
Quan niệm truyền thống cho rằng không có phương ngữ trong tiếng Anh Canada và người Canada không thể nói được những người Canada khác đến từ vùng nào khi nghe họ nói. Các nhà ngôn ngữ học ngày nay không đồng ý với quan niệm này. Trong khi tiếng Anh Canada có tính đồng nhất cao hơn sơ với tiếng Anh Mỹ, ở Canada vẫn tồn tại phương ngữ. Các nhà ngôn ngữ học đã xác định được phương ngữ riêng biệt cho tỉnh Maritime, Newfoundland, thung lũng Ottawa, nam Ontario, tỉnh Prairie, Bắc Arctic và khu vực phía Tây.
