It is..uh, it has four seasons, and the nicest season is the summertime because it's really warm and people play a lot of sports, and there are some parks in Montreal, and you can go swimming and hiking and biking and rollerblading. It's a very interesing city.

好的,你学了法语后,你觉得学习英语最好的方法是什么?
Ann: I think that you have to like learning another language and if you have a possitive attitude then you can find learning another language fun rather than stressful so I think that I had a few French friends and we would practice and they would be very patient and I liked the fact that I couldcommunicate using another language cause then you have another identity.
我想你一定很喜欢学习其他语言,如果用积极的态度去面对其他语言,就会觉得其他语言很有趣而不会觉得压力大,因此我认为我有一些说法语的朋友,我们一起练习语言,他们很有耐心,我很喜欢能够用另一种语言交流,感觉有了另外一种身份。

是的。

在日本自驾游行动有些不自如,我还需要更多的经验。在美国自驾游就很常见,因为很多人都这么做。
