Describe an important letter that you received.•Who wrote it to you?•What was the letter about?•How did it make you feel?It was a few weeks ago, when I was at home watching TV with my family, I got a notification on phone which said I had received a college acceptance letter from my dream school. At the beginning, I was too excited to believe it was true, so I was just sitting on sofa with a numb facial expression. A while later, my family all noticed my unusualness, so they asked me whether something awful happened. I was not in the mood to answer their questions, becauseI was completely focused on reading that letter repeatedly to ensurethat I didn’t miss any details in it, even though it was basically justsaying I was accepted by the school and informing me of how toregister.Numb[n m]2. Talk about a gift that you gave to someone recently.•What was it?•Who did you give it to?•How did it make you feel?•Why did you give it to this particular person?2 weeks ago, I sent my best friend a bottle of perfume as a gift for herbirthday. At the beginning, I was very confused about what to get forher, as she is a very independent and hard-working person that she canafford anything she wants. I felt it was really hard to surprise her.However, just a week ago when we were having dinner togethertalking about our new hobbies, she mentioned that she was collectingperfumes, so I was inspired and decided to buy her some uniqueperfume. After that, I started searching for perfumes in shopping malls, but basically all perfumes are hot products which definitely are notspecial enough. So I gave that up and turned to online shops, andfortunately found one that’s not only special enough but also suits hermuch. I bought that one and she was very delighted with the gift.3. Talk about a vehicle that you would like to buy someday.•What vehicle is that?•Why do you like it so much?•Do you intend to buy this vehicle in future?4. Talk about your favorite restaurant.•Where is it?•What type of food does it serve?•How often do you go there?•Why is it your favorite?My favorite restaurant is a Sichuan restaurant near Gulou Street in Beijing, which is not very high-end but relatively down-to-earth and affordable. The first time I went there was about a year ago, when a friend was planning to celebrate her birthday, we chose to go there and have a big meal.To be honest, when I first saw the restaurant from outside, I didn't have much expectation for the dishes it could provide, because its decoration looked rather simple, even crude. But after the first bite, my view of it have changed completely. This Sichuan restaurant makes very authentic Sichuan food. My favorite dish there is fried chicken with chili. The chicken is very tender and the flavor is super rich at the same time. Since then, I’d go there two or three times a month. It has even become one of my habits.5.

Talk about a well-balanced diet.•What kinds of food are part of a healthy diet?•Why is it important to eat a well-balanced diet?•Do you have a well-balanced diet?I sometimes have a well-balanced diet, but I’m not super disciplined.Actually, planning a well-balanced diet isn't difficult as long as eachmeal and snack have some protein, fiber, complex carbohydrates and alittle bit of fat. Eating breakfast will help us start our day with plentyof energy. Instead of ruining the breakfast with high-fat and high-calorie foods, some protein and fiber for breakfast would be better.Lunch is often something we eat at work or school, it’s pleasant topack a sandwich or leftovers. We should keep it low in calories and eatjust enough to keep us from feeling too hungry. Dinner is a time whenit's easy to over-eat, so we need to watch our portion sizes, mentallydivide the plate into four quarters. One is for meat or protein source,one is for a starch, and the last two are for green and colorfulvegetables or a green salad.Protein ['pr ti:n]2. Describe your favorite subject in school.•What is it?•Why do you like it?•How long have you studied this subject?My favorite subject is math which makes lots of people suffer. I have studied it for many years, basically since kindergarten or primary school. I like math the most is mainly because that it is a very practical subject.Firstly, we can always benefit from it in our life. learning math enabled me to do mental calculation, so it’s very convenient for me when managing my money and shopping. Besides, I can gradually form a logical thinking by learning logic, which helps me to make decisions based on factual data rather than emotion s. What’s more, I can have spatial thinking by learning and geometry, so that I can always tell the directions even when I’m in a complete strange city.3. Talk about a goal or ambition you have.•What is it?•How long have you had this goal?•How difficult will it be to fulfill it?4. Describe an important tradition in your country.•When do people participate in this tradition?•Who participates in this tradition?•Is it important to preserve traditions?Since the history of China is super long and rich, we basically havecountless traditions. One of the most important traditions is whatusually happens during the Spring Festival. No matter how far we areaway, we always go back to our family for the Chinese New Year Eve.We'd have a feast in that evening while watching the New Year Galaon TV. Besides, every dish in that feast has its special meaning. Forexample, we must eat fish that day, because in Chinese, fish ispronounced as YU which sounds like “surplus”, that’s a good wish forthe coming new year, meaning that the family would make more thanenough money. In my opinion, it's very important to preservetraditions, because keeping traditions alive is vital for teaching the next generation about a particular or shared past. What's more, traditions are usually related to one's nationality or religion, so it can help usremember where we are from and who we are.surplus ['S9 :pl9 s]5.

Describe a time you tried very hard to please someone.•Who was this person?•Why were you trying to please them?•How did you try to please them?•Were you successful?A few years ago, I had to work with an experienced salesman in mycompany for a promotion activity. Working with him was extremelychallenging to me because he had a caustic style and often spoke ina pejorative way. He seemed to scoff at any idea on our project. So,at that time, I nearly ran out of patience with him that I was on theverge of giving up, but I was a new staff, I needed someachievements to prove my ability to my team, so I decided to try mybest to please him so that we could have satisfying result of our work.I asked around for advice and was told that he didn’t like to be told todo anything, as he was basically a narcissist. Then i tried to alwaysput him in the plan-making place and this strategy really pleased himand then our work could be smoothly finished.Caustic[ 'k o:st i k]尖刻的pejorative [p i'd jo r s t i v]贬义的scoff[sk o f]嘲弄narcissist['na:s i s i st]2. Describe a time you were tempted to lie.•What did you want to lie about?•Why did you want to lie about it?3. Describe an interesting talk you heard.•Who gave the talk?•What was the topic?•Are you interested in learning more about this topic?I’d like to talk about an interesting conversation that I heard a coupleof weeks ago in a music instrument shop. When I was looking aroundin the shop, I heard a conversation between a shop assistant and acustomer. The customer wondered what the differences were betweenthe various acoustic guitars on show. The assistant talked to him aboutthe different makes and models, whether they were factory or hand-made, the woods and varnishes used, the variation in sound quality,and of course the price range. I found the conversation prettyfascinating, because the shop assistant was surprisinglyknowledgeable. It was obvious that he had a passion for the guitar, and he didn’t mind talking to someone even though they didn’t intend tobuy anything.A coustic]。

Are you OK?Ana: I'm fine. But I'm not very good at this.Ted: Neither am I. Say, are you from South America?Ana: Yes, I am originally. I was born in Argentina.Ted: Did you grow up there?Ana: Yes, I did, but my family moved here eight years ago when I was in high school. Ted: And where did you learn the rollerblade?Ana: Here in the park. This is only my second time.Ted: Well, it's my first time. Can you give me some lessons?Ana: Sure. Just follow me.Ted: By the way, my name is Ted.Ana: And I'm Ana. Nice to meet you.2.T ed: Hey, hey! That was fun. Thank you for the lesson!Ana: No problem. So, tell me a little about yourself. What do you do?Ted: I work in a travel agency.Ana: Really! What do you do there?Ted: I'm in charge of their computers.Ana: Oh, so you're a computer specialist.Ted: Well, sort of. Yeah, I guess so.Ana: That's great. Then maybe you can give me some help with a computer course I'm taking.Ted: Oh, sure...But only if you promise to give me some more rollerblading lessons. Ana: It's a deal!(2)1.Interviewer: Where are you from originally, Yu Hong?Yu Hong: I'm from China...from near Shanghai.Interviewer: And when did you move here?Yu Hong: I came here after I graduated from college. That was in 1992. Interviewer: And what do you do now?Yu Hong: I'm a transportation engineer.Interviewer: I see. So you 're an immigrant to the United States?Yu Hong: Yes, that's right.Interviewer: What are some of the difficulties of being an immigrant in the U.S.? Yu Hong: Oh, That's not an easy question to answer. There are so many things really.I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I don't have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but that's not the same thing. In China, on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn't the same here.Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from home?Yu Hong: Oh, that's easy, my mom's soup! She makes great soup. I really miss my mother's cooking.(3)1.A: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?B: Yeah! That’s me in front of my uncle’s beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks there every summer.A: Wow, I bet that was fun!B: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I have a great shell collection. In fact, I think it’s still up in the attic!A: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!2.A: You know what I remember most about growing up?B: What?A: Visiting my grandparent’s house…you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparent’s house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.B: Ah, memories!(4)1.A: Why is there never a bus when you want one?B: Good question. There aren’t enough buses on this route.A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.B: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.A: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in general.B: And fewer cars! There’s too much traffic.A: Say, is that our bus coming?B: Yes, it is. But look. It’s full!A: Oh, no! Let’s go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I’m going to write.2.A: So you are really going to write a letter to the paper?B: Sure. I’m going to say something about the buses. They’re too old. We need more modern buses…nice air-conditioned ones.B: And they need to put more buses on the road.A: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isn’t enough parking. B: That’s for sure. It’s impossible to find a parking space downtown these days. A: I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and five.B: Oh, you mean they shouldn’t allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm…that sounds like a really good idea.(5)1.Quite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one.There is also a high tax on cars, so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada.The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent pubic transportation system. Their subway system is one of the best in the world. And there is also a very good taxi and bus system.(6)1.A: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is?B: There’s one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.A: Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens?B: It should be open now. It opens at 8:00A.M.A: Good. And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?B: You need to check at the transportation counter. It’s right down the hall.A: OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is?B: Right behind you, ma’am. See that sign?A: Oh. Thanks a lot.2.A: Excuse me. It’s me again. I’m sorry. I need some more informationif you don’t mind.B: Not at all.A: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?B: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars. A: Forty dollars? I guess I’ll take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find an inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place?B: Go upstairs and turn right. You’ll see the snack bar on your left.A: Thanks very much. Have a nice day.B: You, too.(7)1.A: What do you think?B: Well, it has just as many bedrooms as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.C: But the bedrooms are too small. And there isn’t enough closet space for my clothes.A: And it’s not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.B: But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood.A: Let’s see if the real estate agent has something else to show us.2.A: Well, um,how do you like this space, then?C: Oh, it’s much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are too huge!B: Yes, they are nice and big.C: And there are two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom!B: Yes, I guess you could.C: The only problem is the color of the living room. I really don’t like those dark green walls.A: Oh, I’m sure we can change the color if we want to.3.A: Creative Rentals. Good morning.B: Hello. I’m calling about the apartment you have for rent.A: Yes. What can I tell you about it?B: Where is it, exactly?A: It’s on King Street, just off the freeway.B: Oh, near the freeway. Can you hear the traffic?A: Yes, I’m afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It hasthree bedrooms and a very large living roomB: I see. And is it in a new building?A: Well, the building is about fifty years old.B: Uh-huh. Well, I’ll think about it.A: OK. Thanks for calling.B: Thank you. Bye(8)1.A: Hello?B: Hello. Is the apartment you’re advertising still available?A: Yes, it is.B: Can you tell me a little about it?A: Well, it’s a perfect apartment for one person. It’s one room with a kitchen at one end.B: I see. And is it far away from the subway?A: There’s a subway station just down the street. Actually, the apartment is located right downtown, so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurants everywhere. But it’s on a high floor, so you don’t hear any street or traffic noise.B: It sounds like just the kind of place I’m looking for. I’d like to come see it, please. A: Sure. Let me give you the address.2.A:Town and city rentals.How can I help you?B:Hi! Um,Is that apartment you advertised still available?A:Yes, it is.B:Oh, good. Um, listen,I,I can’t pay too much. So the low prise you asking is…is really good for me.A:Great.B;And how big is it?A:It’s two rooms plus the kichen and bathroom.B:Well, is it a safe place to live?A:Well,I can tell you I’ve lived here for five years and I never heard about anybody having a problem.B:Oh, that’s good. Uh, let see, oh yeah, does the apartment have a lot of windows? A:Windows, yes, there are plenty of windows, but unfortunately,there is’n much light really. See, there’s another building right next to ours.B:Oh,that’s OK. I’m never around in the day anyway. Do you think it’s alright if I come and look at it?A:Anytime.When you wanna see it.(9)1.A: So where are you working now, T erry?B: Oh, I’m still at the bank. I don’t like it, though.A: That’s too bad. Why not?B: Well, it’s boring, and it doesn’t pay very well.A: I know what you mean. I don’t like my job either. I wish I could find a better job. B: Actually, I don’t want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now.A: Hmm, how old are you, Terry?B: Uh, twenty-six.2.A: So how are things going with you and Susie, T erry?B: Oh, you didn’t know? She and I broke up a couple of months ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again.A: I’m sure you will.B: I really hope so. So what kind of job would you like to look for?A: I’m not sure, but I’d love something that would involve travel. And I’d really like to move to another city. I’m sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.B: I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.(10)1. A: Ugh! I feel awful. I really have to stop smoking.B: So why don't you quit?A: Well, if I quit, I might gain weight!B: A lot of people do, but...A: And if I gain weight, I won't be able to fit into any of clothes!B: Well, you can always go on a diet.A: Oh, no. I'm terrible at losing weight on diets. So if my clothes don't fit, I'll have to buy new ones. I'll have to get a part-time job, and...B: Listen, it is hard to quit, but it's not that hard. Do you want to know how I did it?2.A: Well, giving up smoking isn't really as hard as you think. I managed to do it, so it can't be that difficult. You should try a nicotine gum. You chew it just like regular chewing gum, and you don't feel like smoking.B: Well, I guess it's worth a try.3.Yeah, I really need a change. I’ve been doing the same things for over five years now, and I’m just not learning anything new. It’s the same routine every day, and I am really sick of sitting in front of a computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.4.I really need to join a club or sports team to give me something to do on weekends. I get really bored on the weekends, and if I joined a club. I’d probably get to meet people and make new friends.5.Gosh, I really have to go on a diet. I’ve gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells me I look fat. And if I don’t lose weight now, I won’t be able to get into any of my summer clothes.(11)1.A: Hey, this sounds good — snails with garlic! Have you ever eaten snails?B: No, I haven’tA: Oh, they’re delicious! I had them last time. Like to try some?B: No, thanks. They sound strange.C: Have you decided on an appetizer yet?A: Yes.

I’m waiting for the waitress to bring me a fork.6.A: Did you enjoy it?B: Well, it was a little tough. I think it was cooked for too long.7.A: How is it?B: Great. Just the way I like it: black and strong.8.A: Your turn or mine?B: It’s my treat this time. You paid last time. Remember?(12)1.A: I’m so excited! We have two weeks off! What are you going to do?B: I’m not sure. I guess I’ll just stay home. Maybe I’ll catch up on my reading. What about you? Any plans?A: Well, my parents have rented a condominium in Florida. I’m going to take long walks along the beach every day and do lots of swimming.B: Sounds great!A: Say, why don’t you come with us? We have plenty of room.B: Do you mean it? I’d love to!2.A: Have you planned anything for the summer, Brenda?B: Yeah. I’m going to work the first month and save some money. Then I’m going to go down to Mexico for six weeks to stay with my sister. She’s working in Guadalajara. She says it’s really interesting there, so I want to go and see what to go and see what it’s like. It will also give me a chance to practice my Spanish. I’m really looking forward to it.3.A: So, what are you planning to do for your vacation, Judy?B: Oh, I’m doing something really exotic this year. You know, I went to Hawaii last year, and just stayed on the beach for two weeks. This year, I’m going white-water rafting!A: Ooh, that sounds great. But what is it, exactly?B: Oh, well, you know, it’s in Colorado. They have all these trips down the rapids. The water gets really rough, but I think it’ll be really exciting.

He thinks it’s a great idea. He wants to come with me!2.A: What should people do to make their visit to New York City safe and pleasant? B: I think the biggest mistake many people make is trying to do too much in a short time. There’s so much to see and do that you need to have a plan. It’s best to start planning before you get here, so you have information about hotels, restaurants, sightseeing, and so on. Visitors can use our Web site to get the information they need to start planning before they come here; or they can phone or fax us.Interviewer: How safe is New York City for tourists? Spokesperson: New York is a much safer place than many peop le think. In fact, it’s the safest it’s been in thirty y ears!Interviewer: Oh, that’s good to hear!Spokesperson: Yes, but that doesn’t mean people don’t haveto be careful; tourists in New York ought to be careful, just like in any big city in the world. For students, I would say travel in groups. If you get lost, it’s easier as a group to find your way. You really shouldn’t go of f on your own if you can find someone to go with you. An other thing to remember is: Don’t be afraid to ask for di rections, even if your English isn’t perfect. People often stop me on the street to ask for directions, and that’s n ot only foreign visitors. American visitors also have trouble finding their way around; and you’ll find New Yorkers are really very friendly.Interviewer: Yes, I agree. We are!Spokesperson: Uh-huh.Interviewer: Is there any other advice you can give visitors to the Big Apple?Spokesperson: Well, another thing to remember is not to leav e anything valuable in your car if you have one. Don’t le ave suitcases on the back seat where people can see them, and it’s better not to even leave them in the truck. Most cars are very easy to get into. So it’s not worth the risk. But most people have a great time when they come to New York. And you will, too. If you use your common sens e.(14)1.A: Jason…Jason!

I forgot all about them.7.A: Justin, come help me. We need to wash these dishes before your mother gets home.B: Oh, Dad. I’d like to help, but I have to call Laurie. It’s really important.8.A: Aimee, I think the dog is trying to tell you something!B: Well, I can’t possibly take him out right now. I’m doing my nails.(15)1.A: Hi. I’m your new neighbor, George Rivera. I live next door.B: Oh, hi. I’m Stephanie Lee.A: So, you just moved in? Do you need anything?B: Not right now. But thanks.A: Well, let me know if you do. Um, by the way, would you mind turning your stereo down? The walls are really thin, so the sound goes right through to my apartment. B: Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t realize that. I’ll make sure to keep the volume down. Oh, by the way, is there a good Italian restaurant in the neighborhood?A: Yeah. There’s a great one a couple of blocks from here. Try their lasagna. It’s delicious!2.A: Hello. I’m sorry to bother you, but I think your car is parked in my space downstairs.B: Really?A: Yes. Do you drive a blue Honda?B: Yes, I do.A: Well, there’s a blue Honda parked in space 13 and that’s my space.B: Oh, I’m so sorry. My son must have put it in the wrong space. Ours is the one right next to yours-number 12. Let me get my keys, and I’ll go right down and move the car.A: Thanks.B: And I’ll make sure my son doesn’t do it again.A: I appreciate it.3. A: Gee, Bob, you’re really late. You said you’d be here at six, and look at the time. It’s almost six thirty!B: I’m really sorry. T ell you what: I’ll pay for dinner.A: Oh, it’s all right.

Hey…my friend Pete is having a party. Would you like to go?B: Sure. I’d love to.2.A: So are we going to wear costumes to the party?B: Of course. That’s half the fun. Last year I rented this great Dracula costume, and this year I’m going as a clown.A: A clown? Yes, you would make a good clown.B: Hey!A: Oh, I’m just kidding. What about me? What kind of costume should I wear? B: Why don’t you go as a witch? I saw a terrific witch out fit at the costume store. A: A witch…yeah, that’s a good idea. So after I scare people, you can make them laugh.(17)1.A: You look beautiful in that kimono, Mari. Is this your wedding photo?B: Yes, it is.A: Do most Japanese women wear kimonos when they get married?B: Yes, many of them do. Then after the wedding ceremony, the bride usually changes into a Western bridal dress during the reception.A: Oh, I didn’t know that.2.A: Did you get married in a church, Mari?B: No, the ceremony was held at a shrine.A: Oh, a shrine…B: Yes, we were married by a priest in a traditional Shinto ceremony.A: Hmm.

That’s where you can sometimes make good money.B: I’m not really interested in making a lot of money at this point in my life. I’ll worry about that later2.A: What kind of career are you planning for yourself?B: I don’t know. I think I’d like to have a job where I can help people. Everybody else in my family is in law or business-you know, boring stuff like that. That’s just not for me. I know I’d like to work overseas, though. Maybe in a children’s hospital in a developing country. But that’s a long way away. I have to get into medical school first, and that’s not going to be easy!3.A: What kind of job do I have in mind? Well, I don’t want a regular nine-to–five job. Eventually, I’d like to get into acting-maybe even break into movies. But I guess that won’t happen for a while.B: So what are you doing in the meantime?A: Well, I work out at the gym nearly every day. I need to be really fit. And I’m taking acting lessons as well so that I feel comfortable in front of the crowd. I just had some pictures taken to show to agents in the city. Would you like to see them?

Student 3: Well, we’re talking about ethics, and the Inuit people say it’s fine for them to kill animals because people in other parts of the world kill animals, too. Personally, I don’t agree.

● 多伦多已连续多年被联合国人居署评为全球最宜居的城市之一。同时,多伦多也是世界上最安全、 富裕和拥有最高生活水准的城市之一。 2026年世界杯足球赛的16个举办城市之一。
● 1998年,5个近效地区列入多伦多的境内,使多伦多成了加拿大最大的城市。从尼瓜拉河第二大 城市“泥泞约克”到如今的国际大都市,多伦多成长的道路并不平坦。原名“约克”的多伦多, 其得名除了怀念英国的“约克郡”外,还表示希望建立一个比美国纽约即“新约克”还繁荣的城 市。可是二百多年来,“约克”不但占不到丝毫上风,连名字也要放弃。“约克”因为建市初期 泥泞处处而赢得“泥泞约克”的绰号,“约克人”听了,心里不是滋味。最令“约克人”伤心的, 是祖家的英国人总没法弄清楚“约克”在那里,经常误将“约克”当作“纽约”。更有人叫“约 克”为“小约克”,以资识别。这些带贬义的名称令“约克”不得不易名,而“约克”和“纽约” 在名字上的关系也从此告终。
● 尼亚加拉瀑布位于加拿大和美国交界的尼亚加拉河中段,它以宏伟的气势,丰沛而充足的水汽, 吸引了无数游客的目光。有人说:“尼亚加拉大瀑布是从上帝花园中不小心陨落的一处风景”。 事实上,尼亚加拉大瀑布是尼亚加拉和坠落河谷的产物。

I feel it's a great place to raise your family. There's a lot of great family areas. I'd say some of the shopping malls are very good for pretty much anybody. And for the social types they have many bars in Toronto, unfortunately Toronto has a bit of a homeless problem, how-should-I-say, it's tiresome over the years, like every time you go downtown, you're bound to bump into a homeless person, like, wha-cha-call-it, for a city of 4 million compared to New York City that does not have a homeless problem it's pretty embarrassing. Um, how-should-I-say,at times it can be unsafe if you're around them because you're constantly being pestered by them, but, I'd say it's a good city, how-should-I-say, many different things to do, you're just not confined to one area of the city to have fun, you can go pretty much anywhere in the south end of the city and have fun.Todd: OK, wow, sounds like a really good place.Shawn: And of course, a lot of good looking girls in Toronto. Many different kinds so it's definitely one of those places where you'll have, how-should-I-say, you'll have neck problems cause you'll constantly turning your head for all the good looking girls.。

Marika的家乡是加拿大多伦多,听她介绍家乡的同时一起讨论一下多伦多的优缺点吧。
Todd: Hey, Marika! What is your home town?
Marika: My hometown is Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Todd: OK, and how many people live there?
Marika: About 4 million people.
Todd: Oh really?
Marika: Mm-hm. It's the biggest city in Canada.
Todd: Really. What is the best thing about it?
Marika: The best thing about Toronto is that it's a very multi-cultural city, and there is a really big mix of different people and there is lots of different things going on and lots of different cultural events and different restaurants and it's really interesting to meet all the different people.
Todd: What is the worst thing about it?
Marika: The worst thing about it is that I grew up there so I don't think it's as exciting as it probably is.
Todd: Oh, really.
Marika: Like sometimes I just get bored there because I'm used to it. Is that a bad thing?
Todd: No
Marika: That's weird. Let me say that again. What's the worst thing about it, OK, can I say the worst thing about it?
Todd: Yeah
Marika: One more time?
Todd: Sure
Marika: The worst thing about Toronto is that it's expanding and a lot of the farmland that is outside of Toronto is now being developed into condominiums and suburbs and it's really good farmland but now it's just being turned into suburbs which is really bad I think.
