A trip of two girls and some information about Canada. Whatdoes “The True North” in the title refer to? Yeah, the name of the train that goes across Canada/Cross-Canada train;While reading, you may get the idea that the text has a very clear outline. Now please read it quickly again and match each paragraph with the corresponding headline. Are you ready? So how to divide the text? Yes, the first part gives a brief introduction to the trip. It goes with Paragraph 1. The second part talks about their chat on their way to the railway station. It is in line with Para.2. The rest of the text, namely Para.3 –Para. 5 forms the last part. It is mainly about what they saw and felt after boarding the train. Nice job.

Step 6 Summary
Boys and girls, times flies so quickly. Today’s class is almost coming to an end. Let’s quickly go through what we have learnt today. Can anyone tell me what have you learnt today? Yes, Bob, you learn something about Li Daiyu and Liu Qian’s trip to Montreal. Anyone else? Good, Jennifer, you gain some basic facts about Canada like its warmest and most beautiful city Vancouver, Calgary and etc. Good job, class. All of you have got something from learning this lesson. Here what I want to add is that travelling to a foreign country can not only enrich our knowledge and broaden our horizon, but it can also make us experience other cultures. We should seize every opportunity to go out, to explore and experience. But remember to pay attention to cultural differences. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Step 7 Homework
Here is today’s homework for you. After class, please search online and find more information about Canada and write it down. It can be its history, traditions and populations, ect. You are supposed to share the information and your feelings with us next time.
