8 July
This is my first time going abroad. With passport and boarding pass on my hand, I am very excited.
The plane took off. I am going to stay in the sky for about 15 hours to travel across the Pacific Ocean. That ,makes me fell nervous. With this kind of feeling, I went asleep. After about 8 hours, I woke up. There’s light coming through the window. It’s morning,e, I think. I look out of the window, there’s almost no clouds. I can see the dark blue water of the ocean. In the distance stand some mountains with snow(i think)covered on the top. The sky is quite blue. I can see the rainbow in the horizon. 10 July
We have been in Montreal for 2 days, I think so. But today is the first day we went out. We took a bus to Mt. Royal. Along the road, there are a lot of trees. The guide said that about 52 percent of Canada is covered by forests.
We arrived at Mt. Royal, the path here was coved by small screes. It’s very comfortable to walk on this kind of path. It gives me a feeling of back to the nature. I like the blue sky, the sun is shining in the sky, and it’s great to breathe the fresh air.
We walked for about 10 min to the top. From the mountain, we can have a bird’s view of the whole Montreal city.
Then we went to a church. It’s called Church Saint Joseph.the church is very tall. It has about 4 floors inside. Almost each floor has a big hall. It even has elevator inside!
12 July
We went to Toronto today. It took about 5 hours in the bus. The first place we went was the THOUSANS ISLANDS. The sun was shining strongly. The clean water reflected the sunshine and looked like stars shining in the sky. After we got off the bus, we took a boat so that we can float in the water and have a view of the islands, castles on the island and the shortest international bridge. Since it is the border between Canada and the United States, the left of the bridge is in Canada and the right is in the USA. That is really funny. We asked the guide if we can get on the island. The guided said that we can only get on the islands which belong to Canada. That means we are against the laws if we go to the islands which are controlled by America because we do not have the visa of the USA.
13 July
Today we went to the CN Tower. It is the television tower of Canada just like the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai, China. Built in 1976, it is the third tallest building in the world now with the height of about 553.33m. We took a elevator to the top of the tower. It took us about 52 seconds. I can have a whole view of the Toronto city. It is fantastic to see the buildings under my feet.
After that, we went to the widest fall in the world-Niagara Falls! It is quite amazing to see the falls on my own eyes. It’s more grand than that in the photos. I stand on the bank of the river, feeling the falls,hearing the loud sound front the water. I think I am very tiny.
Opposite is the USA.there is a broken bridge. The guide said that the bridge was left from the history of the war between two countries. It is still here in America.
The last place we visited in Toronto is the Toronto University. I like this kind of buildings. It brings me back the ancient time. The old building lies in front of the green land and sleep under the sky in the harmony.
15 July
We have a rest today. However there is a emergency. I was in my bedroom when the alarm rings sharply. We were confused because we didn’t know what happened. Soon the supervisor Anthony came. He let us get out of the school as quickly as possible. He told us that there is a fire alarm,we need to go out quickly.
We were standing on the grass land when the fire truck came in about 10 min. They get in and check the whole building and find out that nothing has happened. I heard that it is all because a boy kicked his ball to the alarm carelessly and the alarm sent a message to 911 immediately.
16 July
We first took the strong school bus to the Concordia Uni and the McGill Uni.the two uni are quite different. Concordia is built in the city center. It consists of several tall buildings. It was built in 1980s but everything inside is new. McGill is opposite. It has a very large green land. Its building is in old style and is not very tall.
This night we went to the cinema to see the film THE PLANET OF THE APES. Differently, the popcorn here was very salty.
19 July
Canada is very natural in some aspects. You can see squirrels wherever you go. People and animals live together in peace. It’s said that animals may come to you and rob you some food. It sounds funny.
We went to climb a mountain this day, actually we were sent to the top by cable car. Sitting in the cable car, I see the whole town by the lake on the half way of the mountain. Under the cable car,, there is a thick forest. As i am taking pics, a lovely deer came into my eyesight. It is running from one part of the forest to the other and disappeared soon. It’s the first time I see such a wild deer.
22 July
The trip is coming to the end. People in Canada are very kind. They tried hard to make our trip perfect. I want to say thanks to them. The trip to Canada opens my eyes. It also tells me that I need to practice speaking English a lot now. I hope I could come back one day!
