My name is Christian, and I am Canadian.

I am from Canada, and this is a map of Canada.

So this is Canada.

This is a map of Canada, and this is Ottawa.

Ottawa is the capital of Canada.

Ottawa is Canada's capital city.

Just like Paris is the capital of France, London is the capital of England, Beijing is the capital of China, Ottawa is the capital of Canada.

So Ottawa is Canada's capital city.

And this is Toronto.

Toronto is the capital of Ontario.

Ontario is a province in Canada.

So I used to live in Toronto.

I used to work there.

I used to study there.

I used to sleep there.

So I lived in Toronto for about 10 years.

I lived there from 2005 until 2015.

I want to show you two photos that I took when I lived in Toronto.

So these are two photos that I took.

This is what Toronto looks like in the spring or summer.

And this is what Toronto looks like in the wintertime.

So these are two photos I took.

I took them with a camera.

Not this camera, but a digital camera.

A camera like this one.

So I took these photos in Toronto.

I took this photo, I think I took it in May of 2012.

So that would be May.

May is in the springtime, almost the summertime.

And I think I took this photo in January of 2013.

So January is the wintertime.

So this is what Toronto looks like in the spring or summer.

And this is what Toronto looks like in the wintertime.

So this year is 2019.

So I took these photos in 2012 and 2013, I think.

That would be about six or seven years ago now.

So again, this is what Toronto looks like in the spring or summer.

And this is what Toronto looks like in the winter.

So let's compare these two photos.

How does Toronto look different in the wintertime?

So in the wintertime, there's lots of green grass on the ground.

So there's lots of grass here, lots of green grass here.

There's some green grass over here too.

There's lots of parks and places in Toronto where there's lots of grass.

So you can see lots of green grass on the ground in the spring and summer.

But then in the winter, lots of snow falls.

It's very cold and lots of all over the ground here, lots of snow here.

There's snow on the roofs of buildings here.

And there's snow on these roofs.

So there's snow everywhere in the winter.

Also, you can see this tree.

There's a tree here.

And this tree is bare.

But then in the spring, leaves grow on the tree.

So the tree grows lots of green leaves.

So in the spring and summer, all of these trees have green leaves.

So you can see there's a tree here.

There's trees over here.

And they're all covered with green leaves.

But then in the fall, all the leaves fall off of those trees.

And they are bare.

So in the winter, all these trees have no leaves.

But then in the spring and summer, they grow green leaves again.

In the spring and summer, there's lots of green.

There's green grass and green trees.

But in the winter, you see lots of white snow.

There's snow on the ground, snow on the roofs here.

There's snow on these buildings.

So there's snow everywhere in the winter.

And also in the winter, you can see steam rising from buildings.

So there's steam here.

There's steam here rising from these buildings.

And when it's very cold, it condenses.

The water vapor or the steam condenses.

Just like if you breathe out, when you breathe out, when you exhale, when it's very cold, you can see it in front of you.

It looks like this.

You can see your breath.

You can see the water vapor condense and make a cloud like this in front of your face.

So again, this is what summertime looks like.

So let's take a look at this photo of Toronto in the spring, almost the summertime, and see what are some of the things that we can see in downtown Toronto.

So this is downtown Toronto.

And of course, in downtown Toronto, there are many buildings, there are buildings here, many, many buildings.

Right here in the business district downtown, there are many office buildings, many very tall buildings, skyscrapers.

And then they come into Toronto by train.

So they come into Toronto, and they work, they work downtown.

And then they take the train outside of Toronto.

So they take the train back home, back to where they live outside of Toronto, where they live, and where they sleep.

And then they come back again by train, and then work again.

So many people live outside of Toronto, and then they come in by train in order to work in Toronto, to work in downtown Toronto.

And over here, you can see there's a road here.

There's this bridge, this bridge goes over the train tracks here.

And you can see there's a streetcar here.

This is a streetcar.

Toronto has streetcars, Toronto has buses, and Toronto has subways.

So the streetcars and buses are above ground.

They go above ground, and the subways go below ground.

And over here, you can see this is an expressway.

This is called the Gardiner Expressway.

So the Gardiner Expressway goes over this road here, and you can see there are some cars here.

In this picture, there's just a few cars, but sometimes it's very busy.

At rush hour, it's very busy.

There are many, many, many cars, lots of cars.

So this is the CN Tower.

It's very tall.

It's much taller than everything else in Toronto.

And the CN Tower is one of the tallest towers in the world.

It's about 553 meters tall.

So the CN Tower is very tall.

It's taller than all of these other buildings.

And again, this is downtown Toronto.

So again, to review, my name is Christian.

I am Canadian.

And this is a map of Canada.

This is Ottawa.

So I lived in Toronto for about 10 years.

And these are two photos that I took.

Photos with a camera.

Not this camera, but a camera like this one.

I took these photos when I lived in Toronto.

And so this is what Toronto looks like in the spring or summer.

And this is what Toronto looks like in the wintertime.

So I think I took this photo in May of 2012.

So that would be the springtime, almost the summertime.

And I think I took this photo in January of 2013.

So that would be in the wintertime, in January.

And let's compare.

How does Toronto look different in the spring or summer compared to the wintertime?

So in the spring or summer, there's lots of grass on the ground.

Lots of green grass here.

And also you can see there's steam rising from the buildings.

For many buildings here, when it's very cold, you can see the steam because it condenses.

Just like when you breathe out and it's very cold.

When you breathe out, when you exhale, you can see the water vapor condensing in front of your face.

So you can see your breath.

It looks like this.

So again, this is what Toronto looks like in the winter.

And this is what Toronto looks like in the spring and summer.

And let's look at some of the things that we can see in downtown Toronto.

Of course, there's many, many buildings.

And there's many different kinds of buildings.
