【参考范文】
Our travel in Canada has left us a deep
impression. We passed through the Rocky Mountains
on the train, and caught sight of beautiful scenery, a
grizzly bear and some mountain goats. Canada is
very empty in the centre, which is a wheat-growing
area. In Toronto, we went up the CN Tower and enjoyed Niagara Falls. In Montreal, we
saw many signs and ads in French.
We would like to go back for another visit.
