Listening text
[Background: sound of train tracks and other passengers 'conversations.]
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.
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!
