Canada Gets a Flag

17. Canada Gets a Flag When my dad was a little boy, Canada did not have its own flag. But in February 1965, Canada got its own flag. It is red and white. The really special thing is the big red maple leaf in the centre of the flag. The maple leaf is a symbol of Canada. Maple trees grow almost everywhere in Canada. They are strong like Canadians. My dad says it makes him really happy whenever he sees the new flag flying in the wind.

加拿大有一面国旗 当我爸爸还是个小男孩的时候，加拿大还没有自己的国旗。 但在1965年2月，加拿大有了自己的国旗。它是红色和白色的。真正特别的是国旗中央的大红枫叶。 枫叶是加拿大的象征。 加拿大几乎到处都有枫树。他们像加拿大人一样强壮。 我爸爸说，每当他看到新国旗在风中飘扬时，他就会非常高兴。
