(16)Dear Mom and Dad ,
Hello from Toronto! After two months of living here, I feel this place is like my house Toronto is a big city, but it is very nice I like to shop downtown in the Eaton center, and I also like to shop in the Queen street store
I enjoy taking the subway to work It is a bit crowded in the morning, but I don’t mind using the subway because it is so convenient The trip from my apartment to work takes only twenty minutes
Although I like Toronto, my apartment is not very nice I hate living in this neighborhood It is not very pleasant and there are no good restaurant The worst thing is my neighbor I can’t stand him He is always playing the stereo all night long
Anyway , I enjoy big city life most of the time I hope you are both well Love,
Mariam

gently moved the leaves on the trees, and you could smell the spring in the air "Life is grand" I thought as I walked in Kensington gardens It was a straight road and I found the way quite easily When I got my first sight of the gardens the beauty of it nearby took my breath away The trees were just bursting into leaf, fresh and green and lovely, and were beds of spring flowers, red and yellow and blue., in the beautiful, smooth grass under the trees
People in light spring clothes were walking about, and to my surprise, they walked not only along to the paths but also across the grass, and no one said a word to them about it I had never seen such a thing before
