This map shows me a general condition of St. Lawrence River. It describes the area drained by this river and its tributaries. By read this map, we can know where the place of St. Lawrence River can make gulf. If you see the map carefully, you can see some red lines separate the U.S.A and Canada in a obvious way. The yellow top where can shows the Ontario of Iroquois. This part is a expansion of the divided area.

2. Find a photograph of the St. Lawrence River you like. Explain what you see in the picture in 3-5 sentences.

This picture is my favorite one of all the photographs. It really defines the beautiful sights in my visibility. This sight gives me a exquisite feeling just like in the fairy's situation. I think the cloud can give me a feeling as light as a drifting current penetrating me. I think the author of this design might be really hard working that can create this nice picture. This cloud has a special name in Chinese-"The scorching cloud". It happens when the sitting sun access to the level of the azure sea, the solar illuminates the sea and changes the lights become a amazing colored. This picture really affects me a lot.

3. Why did Champlain choose to use a river for transportation? Explain in 3-5 sentences.

think Champlain had experienced some different exploration before he decided to use river. Actually, those are the same ways. Champlain know how to transport goods on the water, even it is a river. In the development between two countries might be hard because the river is a line that divided these two, but although people wanted to go further, they have to exceed their ranges of the transportation. Champlain is a great guy because he knew how to create and discover the transportation, that is to don't only around a single way to develop things. Champlain choose the St. Lawrence River to transport is a real example of the history of transport to abroad. The improvement is not depending on the way what you use, it is depending on you wants to make effort and progress or not.

4. Find a picture of Champlain's habitation at Quebec. Explain what you see in 5-8 sentences.

This house is the habitation of Champlain in Quebec. At the first time I saw this house, it reminds me of a movie I had saw in Beijing. It is about a inventor that creates a number of monsters. This inventors house is seem to the house in the picture. I saw this house was consist of three rooms on the opposite way. I cannot see a gate but there is a small yard on the right of the house with a special styled tower. There is some smoke erupt out of the house just like a secret factory.

5. The fort was a natural fort because Quebec had towering cliffs.

a.Find a picture of towering cliffs in Quebec. Search in Google using "Quebec and towering cliffs". b. Why are the cliffs a natural fort? Explain in 3-5 sentences.

Cliffs are made by the covalent bonds of the natural area. Some of them are cause by the sea wave, actually they are the land or mountains under or beside the sea. They looks like the fort but they are the products of the nature. People called them "natural fort" might because they are the fort of wild animals' nestle. They protect them and conceal them to resist their enemies to assume them.

6 what did you learn today? Explain in 5-8 sentences.
I learnt the geography of the St. Lawrence River and how beautiful the river is. Than I knew the structure of the habitation of Champlain. By the way, I think the way we use to respond the question also can be an important point that we have learnt, because we improved our own abilities when we search or guess what the information is for the questions that Ms Chan provided to us. That would be a good idea to teach us how to learning Canadian study by our-selves. I think this way is use for every student that can make them increase their English and thoughts. I will continue to use this good way to study and challenge myself.

The moat are the rivers around the habitation. They use protect the habitation and forbid the enemy come into the habitation.
