三、范文背诵
Dear Tom,
I’m writing to share with you my unforgettable train journey across Canada last month.
Instead of traveling by plane all the way, my parents and I chose to take the train. Seen from the train window, the rolling hills and maple forests looked like a colorful painting. When we reached Edmonton, we found it was freezing cold, with daily temperatures averaging -10℃. Later, we proceeded to visit Niagara Falls. Standing in the distance, we were astonished to see misty clouds rising from the falls. What’s more, we also took a pleasant hike in the mountains and looked out over the beautiful city of Toronto.
All in all, this journey was an experience of a lifetime. It not only let me enjoy the spectacular natural scenery but also made me fall in love with the local culture. I sincerely hope that you can come to Canada and have the same wonderful experience.
Yours,
Li Hua
