Voting in Toronto

This Wednesday, I voted in the City of Toronto at noon. I saw that almost every classmate of mine voted. There were a lot of people in the classroom when the voting started. The atmosphere of voting was impassioned but well-regulated.
In this mock vote, there were three classes of candidates: mayor, councillor, and the school board trustee. There were many candidates for mayor about 70 to 80 persons. Three of them were famous. They were  Ford, Tory, and Chow. There were fewer candidates for councillor, only five. I knew the name of Shelley Carrol because I saw her billboard from my yard. There are four school boards in Toronto, TDSB, TCDSB, CSV, and CSDCC. The last two boards are for French schools.
The voting may not have been special for Canadian citizens, but to me, as a newcomer, it was fresh. I think I'll never forget this "election".

An Eye-Opening Trip

Yesterday, I visited the Niagara Region with my new teacher, Joseph, and my new classmates.
We left at Don Mills Subway Station, our meeting place, at 9 .a.m. After one and a half hours, we arrived at Welland. The weather was sunny, and we all felt very happy. We looked at the ship passing through the canal. It was a really big ship.
At noon, we arrived at the outlets mall. There were many cheap items being sold in the mall. I bought some chocolates and had my lunch there. Then we went to the Niagara Falls, maybe the most famous place in Canada. I just thought it was true even it was the third time I had been there! The most unforgettable thing was the War of 1812 battlefield between Canada and USA that Joseph told us about on a small hill. I also remembered the famous woman called  Laura Secord.
That afternoon, we went to two places, a winery named Ice House and the Niogara-on-the-lake. They were all very good places. To me, it was very interesting day, I saw a lot of things that I had never seen before. It grand for me a new world.
