About Canada
Canadian flag has a red maple leaf on the red and white background.
The maple leaf is the symbol of Canada.
Canada is the second largest country in the world. It is larger than the USA and reaches nearly a quarter of the way round the earth. Canada covers six of the world’s 24 time zones.
The beaver is one of Canada’s most recognizable symbols. The importance of the beaver for fur trade and the economic development of the country leads to its designation as a national animal.

Coast to Coast
Hi Amy,
1 We made it! My family and I have managed to cross the North American continent, from western to eastern Canada, in two weeks! I can’t wait to share the stories with you.
2 We started from Vancouver, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip - a home on wheels. It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer.
The views were fantastic, though. There were forests, mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It’s like another world.
3 We reached Quebec on the eighth day, where most people speak French. Well, actually, they speak Quebecois, which is a type of Canadian French. The funniest thing happened on that day. I’d fallen asleep, when I heard Dad’s phone ringing. He was driving, so I answered it. Guess who it was Mum! It was then that I realised her seat was empty! How did that happen Well, while I was sleeping, Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest... She was so mad! To cheer her up, we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch. We had the famous “poutine”, which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called “gravy”. It’s usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup - delicious!
4 So, we’re now in Newfoundland, the very eastern part of Canada and the end of our journey. To celebrate, we went on a boat trip yesterday. Mum was using Dad’s phone to take photos of the colourful little houses along the coast when we saw something amazing - a killer whale! Mum was so excited that she dropped the phone into the sea. This time it was Dad’s turn to get mad! Anyway, another family from Quebec was also on the boat and they got some great photos of the whale. They’re going to send them to us when they get back home. What’s more, their son’s the same age as me. He’s so cool! We’re going to keep in touch, so I now have someone to practise French with!
With love,
Eva

Yes. This summer vacation，I went to ROK with my grandparents and sister. We went there by Korean Air and we really enjoyed ourselves on the plane，because the flight attendants were all friendly to us though it took us 3 hours to get there. To my happiness，my sister also got a toy during the flight. Things were fine in ROK. We stayed there for 5 days. We visited many places of interest. The most memorable part of our trip is that we taste some unique dishes in the local restaurants. In short，this is an unforgettable trip.

Hi Sam，
I've been here in Beijing for two days and I'm having a great time! Yesterday we went to the Great Wall and today we visited the Palace Museum. We met some young people from the local university. They helped us take a lot of pictures and told us some interesting facts about the museum. They are really warm-hearted! Tomorrow we are going to take a walk in the Summer Palace and have a taste of the famous Beijing duck. I can't wait!
Bye for now. Take care!
John
