Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver, seeing the sights. During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained. Despite the weather, they were able to take a boat ride out into the bay, and later visit an island that had wonderful shops selling crafts and antiques. The next day was clear and mild, and they were pleased to see the beautiful mountains looking out over the city. Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short distance away.

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.
Answer the questions after reading the paragraph 5
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.

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.

Use discourse markers to show relationships
Discourse markers are more commonly known as “linking words”. They are used to show relationships between ideas. Relationships can range from
①adding sth. (e.g., also, besides, additionally), to
②showing contrast (e.g., however, on the other hand), to ③explaining a reason (e.g., because, since), or to
④showing a result (e.g., therefore, as a result).
Without discourse markers, the connections between sentences and paragraphs in a text would be less obvious.
语篇标记词
Learn to use discourse makers.
1 however A to add something
2 since B to show contrast
3 when C to explain a reason
4 in addition to D to show an end point in time
5 in fact E to show time
6 later F to emphasize
7 eventually G to describe the order of events
Read the text again and underline the discourse markers . Match them with the correct purpose.

A True Travel
——Nazim Hikmet
The most magnificent poem hasn't been written yet.
The most beautiful song hasn't been sung yet.
The most glorious day hasn't been lived yet.
The most prolonged travel hasn't been done yet
The most shine star hasn't been discovered yet.
When we don't know any more what we are supposed to do
it's the time when we can do true something.
When we don't know any more where we are supposed to go
it's the start when the true travel has just begun.
