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 restaurants. 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.
