Unit 5 Canada — “The True North”
精美语篇
Dear Li Hua,
I am glad to know that you are going to study in Canada,
so I am writing to tell you something about this country.
Canada is the second largest country with the largest number
of lakes in the world. The majority of people live in the
central part of the country, while fishing and forestry are of
great importance in the eastern part. I suggest that you
should choose to study in the east, where not many
international students study and tuition is lower. Vancouver
is a good choice, for it is Canada's warmest and most
beautiful city / surrounded by mountains and the Pacific
Ocean. Most people will go to a clinic /instead of a hospital,
because it is very expensive to see a doctor there. So I
advise you to buy medical insurance, which is 54 Canadian
dollars a year.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Helen
