Speaking A: Hi, Li Daiyu and Liu Qian! Welcome back from your trip! How was it? B: Oh, it was GREAT! We took the trip from the west coast of Canada all the way to the east coast. It was one of the best experiences of my life! C: Really? What was your favourite thing about the trip? B: That’s a hard question to answer! There were so many things. One thing that impressed me the most was the Rocky Mountains in the west of Canada. A: Why were you so impressed by the Rocky Mountains? B: They were amazing - so tall and clean and covered with pure white snow at the tops. I felt very small compared to the great mountain heights. C: How about you, Liu Qian? Did you have a favourite experience in Canada? D: Yes! I loved the city of Montreal. Its culture was so different from the rest of what we saw in Canada. A: What was so different about it? D: Everything was in French! The signs, the advertisements… everything! I couldn’t read any of it! C: How was the food? I hear that French culture is famous for its food! D: The food was pretty good – I didn’t pay attention to it very much, except the bread. The bread was really, really good! Sample dialogue: A: I think one of the greatest similarities between China and Canada is their size. They are of similar length from east to west coast. B: Yes, I agree. Another similarity is that each country has most of its population in one part of the country. Canada’s population is mostly in the south part, and China’s population is mostly in the east. A: There are of course some great differences – the biggest is that we speak Chinese in China and Canadians speak mostly English and French. B: Another big difference is that China has many neighbouring countries, but Canada has only one, the USA. A: Yes, and also Canada has nothing like China’s island of Hainan, so there’s nowhere for people to sit on the beach in winter. Many Canadians like to visit Hainan in winter. Homework 1.
