Para.1:The excitement of crossing Canada by rail.
Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast. Rather than travel by commercial airline all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train. For both of them, the thought of crossing the whole country by rail was exciting.

Para.2:Their stay in Vancouver before the journey.
Before starting out, they spent a couple of days in Vancouver温哥华, 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.

Para.3:Their visit to Lake Louise and Jasper.
The next morning, the two girls arose起身 early to take the train to Lake Louise路易斯湖, passing through the Canadian Rockies加拿大落基山脉. Seen from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive.

Para.4:Introduction of Edmonton.
From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto多伦多. One of the train’s first stops was in Edmonton埃德蒙顿, the provincial Capital of Alberta阿尔伯塔, 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.

Para.5:Journey across the great Canadian Prairie.
From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie加拿大大草原. 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辽阔的 country, and were truly amazed. They went through two wheat-growing种植小麦的 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温尼伯市. From there, they travelled through the night连夜前行, and woke up in Ontario安大略省—a land of forests and lakes. The train thundered on, through the rolling hills起伏的山丘. The bushes灌木 and maple trees枫树 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.

Para.6:On the way to Ontario.
When they woke up the next morning and pulled back the curtains, they could see the wide stretch延绵不绝 of Lake Huron休伦湖—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.

Deep thinking
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浩瀚 of nature.
From my aspect, I think we can make many friends and broaden our social circle.
