My holiday in Canada
by thirteen-year-old Ben Carter

This summer, I travelled round Canada with my parents and younger brother Daniel. Our
uncle went there last year and told us about all the different things you can do there. It
sounded amazing, so we decided to go. I already knew lots about Canada from my lessons
at school and couldn’t wait to get there.

One day, we went on a boat journey down a river in the Rocky Mountains. The water was
freezing cold and very fast moving. We had to practise holding onto the boat so we didn’t
fall out. Then away we went! It was just amazing! I didn’t want it to end, but it wasn’t safe to
go any further. Only a few metres after the place where we stopped, there was a hundred-
metre waterfall.

Another day we went to Drumheller, in the south of Canada, where scientists have found
lots of dinosaur bones. As well as going on a tour of the town’s museum, we went to watch
scientists working outside. One of them let my brother pick up some real dinosaur teeth.
Daniel thought it was the best part of the day!

Mum and Dad’s favourite bit was walking in the mountains. Daniel and I got bored because
we wanted to see some bears, but of course that didn’t happen! At the top of one very high
mountain, Mum and Dad couldn’t believe there was nothing to see for miles. From
mountains in Europe, you can always see something – a road or a village if nothing else!
