Exploring Quebec

Discuss these questions with your partner.
1. Would you like to stop for an in-depth tour of a place during your journey across a vast land Why or why not
Of course! It seems such a waste to just pass by an interesting place and not find out about it.
2. If yes, what kind of place would you choose to tour
I would like to tour a place where people speak a different language than I do, and where their culture is different than my own, as that would be a more interesting experience and I would have more to learn.

Read together
Andy Maser: Even the oldest places can be seen through new eyes.
Tahria Sheather: Quebec city brings to mind European vibe, history and old architecture. This city is old, about 400 years old, actually.
Andy Maser: For just wandering each neighbourhood is an experience in itself. After the long, cold winters, summer is the season of celebration.
Tahria Sheather: Everyone’s out eating, drinking, and soaking up the sun.
Andy Maser: The city’s right on the water, so of course you want to get out and play in it.
Tahria Sheather: Even in this old city, we were down to try something new… Maybe not always successfully.
Andy Maser: Even when you’re eating, you can have an adventure. You can eat world-class cuisine in a restaurant the size of someone’s kitchen.
Tahria Sheather: The restaurants are so accessible, and it’s easy to feel like part of the family. We ate some strange things, but it was all incredible.
Tahria Sheather: While we loved exploring the city, we’re outdoor adventures at heart, so we wanted to get some fresh air and see what the wilds of the province had to offer.
Andy Maser: The city is surrounded by wilderness you can easily get out and play in, no matter your skill level or how much time you have.
Tahria Sheather: You don’t have to go very far to slow down and experience solitude. There are few places in North America where you can so easily combine the urban with the wild, outdoor adventure with cultural exploration, travel just around the corner to somewhere that feels so foreign. Yet we found it all, in Quebec City.
After you watch
1. If you were taking a journey across Canada, would you stop to explore Quebec Why or why not
Yes, I would. It seems like a fascinating place. I would love to stop and look at the old architecture and taste the food.
2. Are there any places in China like Quebec In what way are they similar How are they different
A place like Xiamen comes to mind. It is like Quebec City in that it is very old and has some interesting ancient architecture, but it also has many new areas and places outside the city which people can explore.
1. Voice the narration of the video.
2. Introduce a place you might want to explore in China.
