A

My dear friend has invited me to speak at a women's conference she was holding in Honduras.

The night before I was to leave, I decided a warm bath would help me sleep. I twisted the hot water handle on the tub (浴缸) and waited. I complained，“Let me have some warm water!\the back of the house. Needless to say, the bath wasn't relaxing.

The next afternoon, I arrived in Honduras. After the conference, my friend took me to meet some of her family members. They lived in a stick-and-mud house and slept on dirt floors. The women cooked outside on the stove. Still, even in these awful conditions, everyone I met had a smile on his or her face. They were so generous and almost always insisted we stay for coffee.

On our way to one home we passed a pond which was covered with green slime (粘液). One woman pushed the slime back with a stick while the other put the water into a bucket. I prayed, “Please don't let them offer coffee.\

After we were invited in, a little girl ran inside. She held a mango in each hand. The one in her left hand was half eaten. This little beauty held out her right hand and offered me the other mango, which I gladly accepted. Her eyes danced. I remember thinking, \

When it was time to leave, we walked outside and I noticed a muddy stream that ran beside their home. My friend said, “That is where they bathe.

Imagine yourself sitting in a cafe in your hometown one day, when you hear some people at the next table speaking English with a strong North American accent. Being a friendly person, you lean over and say, “Hi! Are you American?” “No,” the answer comes immediately, “Canadian!”

Calling an English-speaking Canadian an American can be as bad as telling a Scotsman that he's English or telling a Swiss person he's German. “No,” many Canadians will tell you firmly, “we're not Americans; we're Canadians!\

In the same way as Quebecers are determined to keep their identity in the country, Canadians from the other provinces are determined to keep Canada's identity. Although the Canadian way of life is more and more like the American lifestyle, lots of details are different. Canadians use meters and kilometers and measure temperatures in Celsius;
