Writing exercise

Write down why you want to go to Canada and why you don’t want to go to Canada.

I want to go to Canada because there are so many people in China that the public transport such as bus and subway is always very crowded. The other reason why I want to go to Canada is that I have lots of homework to do every day. On the other hand, the reason why I don’t want to go to Canada is that I think our country isn’t very bad. It is heard that you can’t see any people within 2 km in some areas in Canada. There are much less people in Canada than those in China. Besides, I’m told that there are many little animals bumped dead on the road. I’m scared to see that.
