If you are Li Daiyu, using the map and your notes, write an e-mail to your parents telling them about your trip.
Dear Mum and Dad,
Thank you so much for allowing me to go on this journey! It has been a wonderful trip so far, and I really love it!
We started in Vancouver, where we went shopping for gifts and then went hiking. During our first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained. We took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away the next day.
The next morning, we arose early to take the train to Lake Louise. We spent the night, and then took a coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper. The scenery was spectacular—massive forests and mountains, beautiful blue lakes, and all kinds of animals. We even saw a grizzly bear!
From Jasper, we caught the train to Toronto. We were amazed by how empty and wide the Canadian Prairie was. After another day on the train, eventually we were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg.
Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto. We went up the CN Tower and looked across the shore of Lake Ontario. Seen in the distance, misty clouds were rising from the great Niagara Falls, which made us astonished. Then at a restaurant in downtown Chinatown, we met Lin Fei, who had moved to Canada many years earlier.
The train left late that night and arrived in Montreal early the next morning. At the station, we heard people talking in French. We met Jean-Philippe, a photographer. He told us all about Montreal and its culture. Do you know that nearly everyone there speaks French Luckily, many of them speak English as well.
Finally, we caught the train to Halifax.
It has been a great trip, filling us with so many happy memories. We plan on spending about a week here to have a good rest from our journey, and then we’ll fly home.
Love,
Daiyu

Dear Tracy,
I'm glad to share one of my most unforgettable travel experiences with you.
It was during the national holiday last year that I visited Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. I arrived there in the morning together with my parents. It's a beautiful island, whose scenery is breathtaking. We stood on the second floor of the boat, enjoying the sights of the sea. Then we took lots of photos and tasted special local snacks. At dusk, we enjoyed ourselves so much as to forget to leave.
Through the trip, I've broadened my horizons and enriched my life experience.
Yours,
Li Hua
