Activity 3
Read the email carefully and find out what they did in each place.
Vancouver
did the driving
saw animals and fantastic views
Rocky Mountains
2We started from Vancouver, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip—a home on wheels. It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer. The views were fantastic, though. There were forests, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It’s like another world.

Quebec
fell asleep
drove
answered the phone
stopped for some petrol
took photos
went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch
3We reached Quebec on the eighth day, where most people speak French. Well, actually, they speak Quebecois, which is a type of Canadian French. The funniest thing happened on that day. I’d fallen asleep, when I heard Dad’s phone ringing. He was driving, so I answered it. Guess who it was Mum! It was then that I realised her seat was empty!

How did that happen Well, while I was sleeping, Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest... She was so mad! To cheer her up, we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch. We had the famous “poutine”, which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called “gravy”. It’s usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup—delicious!

Newfoundland
went on a boat trip
took photos of colorful little houses along the coast
saw a killer whale
talked with another family
4So, we’re now in Newfoundland, the very eastern part of Canada and the end of our journey. To celebrate, we went on a boat trip yesterday. Mum was using Dad’s phone to take photos of the colourful little houses along the coast when we saw something amazing—a killer whale! Mum was so excited that she dropped the phone into the sea. This time it was Dad’s turn to get mad!

Anyway, another family from Quebec was also on the boat and they got some great photos of the whale. They’re going to send them to us when they get back home. What’s more, their son’s the same age as me. He’s so cool! We’re going to keep in touch, so I now have someone to practise French with!
With love,
Eva
