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.
Listening Text
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.
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!
speaking
In group of three, continue the conversation about Canada and China based on your own travel experiences or the information you heard or read in this unit. End the conversation naturally.
Post-listening
Anna: I thought China would be very crowded, given its large population.
Daiyu: Well, contrary to what many people believe, there are a lot of vast and empty spaces in China, actually.
Anna: That’s great! There must be amazing scenery to see in China then!

Anna: Anyhow, the next station is my stop! Take care and enjoy the rest of your trip!
Daiyu: Thanks, Anna!
Liu Qian: It was really great to meet you!
Anna: And it was nice talking to you!
