1 Before you read, discuss these questions with your partner.
1 What do you know about rail journeys
2 What do you think you will see if you go on a rail journey across Canada
Rail journeys used to take a long time — people often took them because they were
cheaper than flying. However, now with high speed rail, they are much shorter, but also
more expensive.
I would expect to see beautiful
mountains and lots of pretty scenery.

1 Would you be interested in taking the same trip as Li Daiyu and Liu Qian Why or why not
2 How is a rail journey different from other forms of travel, such as by plane or car
I would love to take such a journey. It seems so wonderful and relaxing, and I would get
to see so many beautiful sites.
A rail journey is different from a car journey in that with a car journey, if you see something
interesting, you can stop and take a look. A journey by plane will get you to your destination
much faster than a trip by train or car. However, usually you cannot see much interesting
from a plane window, and a plane gives much less space and fewer opportunities to get up
and walk around than on a train.
