Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax. They decided     1     (fly) to Vancouver first and then take the train. The thought of crossing the whole country by rail was     2     (excite) for them.

They spent two days in Vancouver. There they took a boat ride,     3     (visit) an island and saw the beautiful mountains looking out over the city.

Then they boarded the train to Lake Louise, where the blue water took     4     (they) breath away with its exceptional beauty. They spent the night and then headed north to Jasper.     5     (look) at the spectacular scenery, they both agreed it was the most awesome journey     6     they had ever taken.

From Jasper, they caught the train bound     7     Toronto. One of the train’s first stops was in Edmonton, whose daily     8     (temperature) in winter average -10℃. From Edmonton, the train headed southeast across the great Canadian Prairie.

After another day on the train, they     9     (eventual) reached Winnipeg. They travelled through the night and the next morning they reached Toronto,     10     capital of Ontario. Their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken four days in all.

My Winter Holiday Plan

Next week, I     1     (be) on my winter holiday. My whole family     2     (fly) to Beijing from Melbourne on Monday and arrive at 10:00 a.m.. After lunch, through the whole afternoon we     3     (visit) the Summer Palace. The next morning, we will visit the Palace Museum and we     4     (walk) and shopping along Wangfujing Street till the night. On Wednesday, we     5     (go) to visit the Great Wall. It will be a great experience for me to drive three hours among the mountains. Then we will go sightseeing in Shichahai and visit National Museum of China.On Friday, we     6     (make) a trip to Zhangjiakou and on Saturday morning, we’ll go back to Beijing. Most excitedly, we     7     (watch) Beijing Opera at the Mei Lanfang Theatre in the whole evening. Then on Sunday morning, we     8     (have) to return to Melbourne. I think we might be very tired but it must be absolutely worthwhile.

Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian went to Canada to visit their cousins in Halifax on the Atlantic coast. They decided     1    (fly) to Vancouver and then take the train.

During their first day, as is typical of Vancouver, it rained. Later, they took a pleasant hike in a forest just a short     2    (distant) away.

The next morning, the two girls arose early to take the train to Lake Louise,     3    (pass) through the Canadian Rockies.     4    (see) from the train window, the mountains and forests of Canada looked massive. They spent the night, and then took     5     coach bound north through the Canadian Rockies to Jasper.

From Jasper, they caught the train towards Toronto. One of the train’s     6    (one) stops was in Edmonton. From Edmonton, the train     7    (head) southeast across the great Canadian Prairie. After another day on the train,     8    (eventual) they were back in an urban area, the city of Winnipeg. Night came again, and the train turned south towards Toronto. It was not until 9: 30 a. m. that they finally reached     9     capital of Ontario, Toronto. All     10     all, their trip from Vancouver to Toronto had taken a duration of four days.
