A brief introduction about the trip
Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver,
seeing the sights. During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver,it rained. Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride
out into the bay, and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. The next day was clear and mild, and
they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city. Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short
distance away.

The next morning, the two girls arose early to take the train to Lake Louise,
passing through the Canadian Rockies. Seen from the train window, the mountains
and forests of Canada looked massive. When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, where the blue water literally took their breath away with its exceptional beauty. They spent the night, and then took a coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper. Looking at the beautiful scenery, they both
agreed that it was the most awesome journey they had ever taken. In addition to
seeing spectacular mountain peaks and forests, one highlight of their trip was being
able to see many different creatures, including deer, mountain goats, and even a
grizzly bear and an eagle.

Their visit to Lake Louise and Jasper.
From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto. One of the train’s
first stops was in Edmonton, the provincial capital of Alberta, the centre
of Canada’s huge oil and gas drilling industry. Edmonton is freezing cold in winter, with daily temperatures averaging-10° C. Since it can be too
cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to many shopping malls. In fact,
one of the largest shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.

Topic:
From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the
great Canadian Prairie. At school, Daiyu and Liu Qian had learnt that Canada’s population is only slightly over
thirty-seven million. However, they did not anticipate
seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed. Theywent through two wheat-growing provinces, where they
saw a bunch of farms that covered a very large area.
Para 5
What did they see while travelling across the Canadian Prairies
Journey across the great Canadian Prairie.
After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban
area, the city of Winnipeg. From there, they travelled through the night,
and woke up in Ontario-a land of forests and lakes. The train thundered
on, through the rolling hills. The bushes and maple trees outside their
windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost on the ground,
confirming that autumn had arrived in Canada. Night came again, and thetrain turned south towards Toronto. When they woke up the next morning
and pulled back the curtain, they could see the wide stretch of Lake
Huron--one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario’s southern border. It was
not until 9: 30 a.m. that they finally reached the capital of Ontario,
Toronto. All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a
duration of four days.
