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?

In the sea, we border the United States and Japan.

The biggest rivers flowing on the territory of Russia: Volga, Yenisei, don, Ob and Lena. And only in our country there is the cleanest lake and the deepest on earth – lake Baikal. Russia has the largest sea in the world - the Caspian sea.
