We are going to start our journey. We are lucky because during our visit we are going to see many places of interest and many big cities of Canada: Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Quebec, Edmonton, the Great Lakes, the Rocky mountains and the Niagara Falls. Each of you is going to work as a guide while travelling from one place to another. And of course every travel agency has booklets, which advertise different sightseeings. That is why you had to prepare such booklets and here is the exhibition of them. Listen to your classmates attentively because your hometask for tomorrow will be to write about three places which impressed you most of all during your travelling to Canada. And besides, I want to check how attentively you will listen to the guides, so while listening try to find the answers to the questions which  I have prepared for you. Here are the sheets of papers with the task. You will give them to me at the end of our journey or if we have time we will check your answers together. So, let’s start.
