My name`s Diana. I`m 11. I`ve been learning English for three years. I have liked English from the first lesson because I have found it interesting and funny to speak with my friends in a foreign language. I thought it was enough to learn English only at school. Everything changed a year ago.
Last summer I happened to go to Canada. To tell the truth, my aunt and uncle live in Toronto and invited me to see them. I spent my best days with them. Every day I spoke English with native speakers, ate delicious food, did shopping and went sightseeing.
First of all, my aunt and I visited the CN Tower. Itis one of the world`s tallest buildings. It is famous for its glass floor and speed elevators. As for me, I was impressed by the breathtaking view of Toronto from the top of the tower.
I couldn`t help visiting Niagara Falls. They are beautiful and impressive. To quote my aunt, "It was like looking into the face of God".
I was impressed by Casa Loma. It`s an ancient castle. It was built by the extraordinary man Henry Pellatt. He spent all his money on this building. I saw 98 richly decorated rooms, secret passages and towers. I knew a lot about the history of the castle.
Also, I went to Toronto Zoo. It has got more than 5,ooo animals. There are ponds, waterfalls and floral displays.
On returning home I realized that I can learn English not only at school. I can enjoy watching films, read English books in the original, speak with native speakers and understand them. I understood that my education is in my hands.
Perhaps, I`ll go to Toronto to continue my education. I don`t mind studying in Canada. And you?
Mountains-always amazed me with their power. Mountains for me are an incredible beauty and an indescribable scale. The mountains contain some mystery, some mysticism. Not for nothing since ancient times thinkers and poets go to the mountains to find their muse. Walking in the mountains, a person feels truly happy and carefree. In the mountains, the wanderer "becomes" a bird, becomes free and wise.If you climb higher and higher, then the peaks of the mountains seem to connect together, as if they are piled on top of each other. The tops become one whole. If you look into the distance, you can only see the outlines of these mighty guards.The power of the mountains can both inspire the newcomer and break the unworthy.
