Para. 3
The next morning, the two girls arose early to take the train to Lake Louise, passing through the Canadian Rockies. Seen from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive. When the train arrived at the station, they took a taxi to Lake Louise, where the blue water literally took their breath away with its exceptional beauty. They spent the night, and then took a coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper. Looking at the beautiful scenery, they both agreed that it was the most awesome journey they had ever taken. In addition to seeing spectacular mountain peaks and forests, one highlight of their trip was being able to see many different creatures, including deer, mountain goats, and even a grizzly bear and an eagle.

Para. 4
From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto. One of the train’s first stops was in Edmonton, the provincial Capital of Alberta, the centre of Canada’s huge oil and gas drilling industry. Edmonton is freezing cold in winter, with daily temperatures averaging -10℃. Since it can be too cold to go outdoors, Edmonton is home to many shopping malls. In fact, one of the largest shopping malls in North America is in Edmonton.

From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie. At school, Daiyu and Liu Qian had learnt that Canada’s population is only slightly over thirty-seven million. However, they did not anticipate seeing such an open country, and were truly amazed. They went through two wheat-growing provinces, where they saw a bunch of farms that covered a very large area.

Para. 6
After another day on the train, eventually they were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg. From there, they travelled through the night, and woke up in Ontario—a land of forests and lakes. The train thundered on, through the rolling hills. The bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold, and orange, and there was frost on the ground, confirming that autumn had arrived in Canada. Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto. When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtain, they could see the wide stretch of Lake Huron—one of the four Great Lakes on Ontario’s southern border. It was not until 9:30 a.m. that they finally reached the capital of Ontario, Toronto. All in all, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration of four days.

Discuss the questions in groups.
Would you be interested in taking the same trip as Li Daiyu and Liu Qian Why or why not
I would love to take such a journey. It seems so wonderful and relaxing, and I would get to see so many beautiful sites.
2. How is a rail journey different from other forms of travel, such as by plane or car
After reading
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.

What can travel bring to us
Deep thinking
What can travel bring to us
By traveling, we not only can relax ourselves but also broaden our horizon/ open our eyes.
Meanwhile, we have chances to enjoy the beautiful scenery in different places and experience different cultures.
Travelling much，we will not only enrich our knowledge and experiences，but also be aware of the vastness of nature.
From my aspect, I think we can make many friends and broaden our social circle.
