My name is Bob. I live in Toronto, Canada. Toronto is a beautiful and c    1     city. It’s a good place for us to l    2     in. My house is behind the airport(机场). In my neighborhood(街区), there is a big p    3    . It’s in the center of my neighborhood. In it, there are many t    4    . The trees are always green all year round. When it is s    5     and warm, my sister and I go to the park and lie(躺) on the grass(草). I often r    6     some storybooks and my sister just l    7     to music. In s    8    , we often go to the beach(海滩) to play volleyball. When we are having a great time p    9     volleyball, our mother is surprised(惊讶的). Because it is really hot.

Pointing to a duck and a goose in the w    10    , Mr. White asks, “Which is a duck and which is a goose?”

John can’t tell a duck from a goose, but he says, “That’s easy! A duck is beside a goose!”
