Listening Text
Daiyu: Look there, Liu Qian! What a beautiful lake!
Liu Qian: Oh, my goodness! That must be Lake Louise! It's so beautiful! Words fail me.
Anna: Yes, that's Lake Louise.
Daiyu:It's pretty!
Anna: It's even prettier in winter, after the lake freezes over. People like to go skating on the ice.
Liu Qian: Does all of Canada get so cold in winter
Anna: A lot of it does.
Daiyu: So then, Canada must have cool summers as well.
Anna: That's certainly true of many places. However, many areas of south Canada have a continental climate, with very hot summers and very cold winters, so some days it gets as hot as an oven.
Liu Qian: Is all of Canada full of mountains like here
Anna:Oh, no. In fact, by the time we get to Edmonton, we'll be in the Prairie. This is as flat as a pancake and stretches for as far as the eye can see-more than 1,300 kilometres-until we reach Winnipeg. After that, there are lakes and forests.
Post-Listening
Daiyu: What kind of place is Winnipeg Anna: It's a small city almost in the dead centre of North America, from east to west.Liu Qian: What do you do to kill time there Anna: Oh, you name it… skiing, hiking, camping. But also city things: movies or restaurants on the weekends, for example. So is this your first long train journey Daiyu: Oh, no. Last autumn, we travelled from Beijing to Moscow on the Trans-siberian Railway through Mongolia.Anna: How interesting! What was it like Liu Qian: Well, once you go north from Beijing, you pass through some low mountains and then enter the grasslands with its rolling hills.Anna: Do a lot of people live in that area Daiyu: Oh, not at all! There are a few small towns along the way, but the land is pretty empty. Sometimes you might see a few horses or sheep. It's beautiful.Anna: Wow, that sounds incredible!
