(四) Dear Harry,
How is everything going with you?
I’m writing to tell you about my trip on “ The True North” from Vancouver to Montreal. It was one of the best experiences of my life. On the morning of July 23rd, we were abroad the train in Vancouver, which is in Canada’s warmest part and surrounded by beautiful mountains and the Pacific Ocean. I was surprised to see that the trees there were extremely tall, some measuring over 90 meters. After dinner, we arrived at the busy port city Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. It was amazed that ocean ships could sail up the Great Lakes. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Earlier that day we passed the Rocky Mountains, which lies in the west coast of Canada. I caught sight of the mountain goats and a grizzly bear. It made me feel excited.
In all, I was impressed by so many great scenery and breathtaking places on my trip. I wish to go back for another visit some day.
