① Which lake does the large photo remind you of
Lake Moraine (梦莲湖)
The Valley of Ten Peaks (十峰山)
Canadian $20 bill
Like Lake Louise, Lake Moraine is fed by glaciers and gets its unique blue color from rock flour (岩乳). The mountains behind the lake are in the Valley of Ten Peaks, and they are famous throughout Canada because for many years they were on the Canadian $20 bill.

① What do people do when Lake Louise freezes over in winter
② What does Anna say about Canadian summers
Scripts: It’s even prettier in winter, after the lake freezes over. People like to go skating on the ice.
People like to go skating on the ice.
Many areas of south Canada have very hot summers.
Scripts: So then, Canada must have cool summers as well.
That’s certainly true of many places. However, many areas of south Canada have a continental climate (大陆性气候), with very hot summers and very cold winters, so some days it gets as hot as an oven.
③ How far is it from Edmonton to Winnipeg
④ What kinds of things do people do in Winnipeg
More than 1300 kilometers.
Scripts: 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 kilometers – until we reach Winnipeg.
Skiing, hiking, camping and city things like movies or restaurants on the weekends.
Scripts: What do you do to kill time there
Oh, you name it … skiing, hiking, camping. But also city things: movies or restaurants on the weekends, for example.
⑤ What other long rail journey have Li Daiyu and Liu Qian taken
They travelled from Beijing to Moscow on the Trans-Siberian Railway through Mongolia.
Scripts: So is this your first long train journey
Oh, no. Last autumn, we travelled from Beijing to Moscow on the Trans-Siberian Railway (西伯利亚大铁路) through Mongolia.

Tip 3
Understand idioms
Idioms are often used in the English language. The meanings of some can be guessed. However, many others need to be studied and remembered.
3. Listen again. Match the following idioms and similes with their meanings.
Try to paraphrase the sentences with definitions of the idioms on the right column. What impressions do the sentences make with the idioms
① It’s so beautiful! Words fail me.
It’s so beautiful! I’m surprised.
② This is as flat as a pancake and stretches for as far as the eye can see.
There are no mountains or hills on the Prairie which stretches for a long distance.
③ It’s a small city almost in the dead center of North America.
It’s a small city almost in the exact middle of North America.
④ What do you do to kill time
What do you do to spend time
Idioms often use figures of speech such as simile (明喻), metaphor (暗喻), exaggeration (夸张), personification (拟人) to make your speech more vivid and concise (简洁的).
1. In groups of three, continue the conversation about Canada and China based on your own travel experience or the information you heard or read in this unit. End the conversation naturally.
① How does Anna start to talk about China
② How do they end the conversation and say goodbye
③ What will be talked about in the middle of the conversation
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!
