【答案】
1. Lake Louise(路易斯湖)
The train passed through the massive mountains, leading us to Lake Louise, where the blue water literally took our breath away. Surrounded by snow-capped peaks, the lake’s exceptional beauty made us forget the long journey.
2. Jasper(贾斯珀)
Bound for Jasper, we took a coach through the Canadian Rockies and were greeted by spectacular scenery—massive forests and snow-covered peaks. Eventually, we spotted deer and even a grizzly bear, which made the trip truly unforgettable.
作业二:模拟旅行邮件(Li Daiyu 致中国朋友)
Dear Xiao Ming,
I’m writing to share my amazing train journey across Canada! First, my cousin and I flew to Vancouver, where we spent two days exploring the city. Despite the rain on the first day, we took a boat ride in the bay and visited an island with shops selling crafts—then the next day, we hiked in a forest near the city, amazed by the mountains looking out over Vancouver.
Then, we boarded the train bound for Lake Louise. As the train passed through the Canadian Rockies, we saw massive mountains through the window, and when we arrived, the blue water of the lake took our breath away. However, the most exciting part came when we traveled to Jasper by coach. With spectacular mountain peaks and forests around us, we were lucky to see deer, mountain goats, and even a grizzly bear—In fact, it was the most awesome journey I’d ever taken!
Finally, after passing through Edmonton and the vast Canadian Prairie, we arrived in Toronto four days later. The trip taught me that traveling by train allows you to truly experience a country’s beauty, and I can’t wait to share more stories with you when I’m back!
Li Daiyu
