Canada
Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, second only to Russia, and has always been famous for its fantastic natural scenery. Canada has vast areas of wilderness, from the Arctic (北极的) north with the USA in the south. On the eastern and western boundaries, the country borders the two great oceans — the Atlantic and the Pacific.
Beautiful scenery is just one of the treasures Canada has to offer. You will be thrilled by Toronto,
Montreal, Vancouver and
Edmonton — all known internationally for their lifestyle, beautiful architecture and special culture.
Nearer to the Atlantic coast is Niagara Falls. It is perhaps the most widely recognized natural scenery in Canada. Millions of visitors from all over the world come here every year.
If you visit during the autumn, you can see Canada’s national symbol — the maple leaf! There are many maple trees in Canada and a maple leaf is featured on the Canada flag. In autumn, maple leaves turn a beautiful red and the tree itself supplies Canada’s most famous food — maple syrup (枫叶糖浆) — which goes perfectly with pancakes.
With all of these attractions, you can see why, in 1996, the UN named Canada the best country in the world to live in!

1We made it! My family and I have managed to cross the North American continent, from western to eastern Canada, in two weeks! I can’t wait to share the stories with you.
2 We started from Vancouver, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip—a home on wheels. It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer. The views were fantastic, though. There were forests, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It’s like another world.

We started from Vancouver, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip—a home on wheels.
本句中的where we picked up our vehicle for the trip - a home on wheels作为非限制性定语从句,修饰其先行词Vancouver,先行词在从句中充当地点状语(in Vancouver) ,所以关系副词用where。区分用关系副词还是关系代词,要判断先行词在从句中充当的成分:
I still remember the beautiful valley _______ I went to with my family last summer.
I still remember the beautiful valley _______I picked up masses of mushrooms last summer.

3We reached Quebec on the eighth day, where most people speak French. Well, actually, they speak Quebecois, which is a type of Canadian French. The funniest thing happened on that day. I’d fallen asleep, when I heard Dad’s phone ringing. He was driving, so I answered it. Guess who it was Mum! It was then that I realised her seat was empty! How did that happen Well, while I was sleeping, Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest... She was so mad! To cheer her up, we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch. We had the famous “poutine”, which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called “gravy”. It’s usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup—delicious!

4 So, we’re now in Newfoundland, the very eastern part of Canada and the end of our journey. To celebrate, we went on a boat trip yesterday. Mum was using Dad’s phone to take photos of the colourful little houses along the coast when we saw something amazing—a killer whale! Mum was so excited that she dropped the phone into the sea. This time it was Dad’s turn to get mad! Anyway, another family from Quebec was also on the boat and they got some great photos of the whale. They’re going to send them to us when they get back home. What’s more, their son’s the same age as me. He’s so cool! We’re going to keep in touch, so I now have someone to practise French with!
