Russia is the largest country in the world. There are 35 million people calling Canada home, while there are 500 million people living in the European Union territory. Canada is a country with the longest shoreline in the world. Some countries have dense populations due to high birth rates in those countries. I prefer to live in a less dense country so the government will find it easier to create a social system for its people.

I would like to share my views on this question. Though canada is considered as the most populated country there are some other countries where people find to live is better. For eg. The United states, India and many more countries. From my priscription i would better like to live in spare population place because living there would definitely keep me away from the crowds, pollution, and unnecessary people.

Dear teacher,
I don’t know how to operate.Therefore I have to Answer here:
Filling the blanks: country, twice, much smaller than, largest, longest.
comprehension questions: 1/ Russia, 2/much smaller than, 3/She does
have “the world longest shoreline”.
discussion questions: The most part of Canadian territory is under a severe natural condition which causes people difficult to survive and smaller population. The most people including me prefer living in an area of middle populated as life is more comfortable there.By the way I have sent my homework about the long weekend yesterday to you.but I can’t find it in my mailbox. Let me know if you received with thanks. Fu
