A Sentence Using Prepositions as More as Possilbe

Our volunteer teacher discussed prepositions with us the week before last. She asked us to find or make a sentence using prepositions as more as possible. I find one on the TTC metropass, and I want to share it with all of you. It is that: “Adult metropass must be surrendered for inspection to TTC employees upon request on TTC property.” In order to explain the meaning clearly, there are four totally different prepositions in this sentence. Do you like my sentence? It’s like that we are playing a funny game to find our own sentence. Do you want to join in the game? Come on! Do it!

My First Day in Canada

I had been told that the winter in Canada is pretty grim by many a people before I came to Canada. In order to avoid the long and cold winter, my husband and I decided to land Canada in April. Finally, the landings commenced in the evening of April 10^th. Because of jet lag, we had a sleepless night after we arrived at hotel. I couldn’t believe that it began to snow at midnight. The snow was a bit of marathon and didn’t stop until the noon of the next day. Unfortunately, no food was brought, and we became very hungry. At that moment, we couldn’t go out to buy food because we had no vehicles and bus stops were far away from the hotel. A nice guy who lived next to our room gave us two bags of instant noodle. My husband and I shared the noodle with our son. It was the most delicious noodle I had eaten. My first day in Canada, for me, was so impressive because I was not only standing on the threshold of a new life but also more aware of the importance of giving and sharing than used to be on that day.

To be a Savvy Shopper in Canada

What’s more exciting than having our own place is to decorate it. It took me almost five weeks to furnish my new home, and what an amazing experience it was. I went to furniture stores and visited websites to search for the best deals. From my experience, it can not only save money but also help me learn Canadian culture to be a savvy shopper in Canada.

IKEA is a good place to buy brand new furniture. There are lots of items there that you can choose from. I have to admit that at first I was confused with so many choices for couches, love chairs, chairs, TV stands, coffee tables, futons, day beds, ottomans, bed frames, slats, mattresses, night stands, wardrobes, and drawers. It was good, lingering at IKEA, for enriching my English vocabulary. But I couldn’t find the proper items as soon as possible.  So I had to change my way of shopping and began to focus on the living room and bedroom furniture that was on sale. Then I found what I really wanted quickly and saved at least 15%. Another way to shop on a budget is to move and install the furniture by yourself. I was totally shocked by the high fee of delivery and installment and started accepting the concept of DIY.

Kijiji is a website that can give you a helping hand in your hunt for used furniture that is affordable but of very high quality. I felt free to mail, text or phone the sellers who came from different countries and settled down in Toronto. I was impressed at both the multi-cultural society and the low prices of items. For example, a Russian young lady sent me a used feather couch for free. I bought an almost new drawer that was still in its packaging at half price from an Indian gentleman. I learned the importance of DIY again. In order to save money, my husband and I took apart of the furniture and put it back together by ourselves.

We've worked hard for our money. Shouldn't we get to keep some of it? In my personal opinion, the feeling of saving money is so wonderful. In addition, trying to be a savvy shopper like most of the Canadians is a useful way to learn Canadian culture.

Schools as Necessary as They Used to Be.

1. Most of us had spent over 10 years in all kinds of schools, such as, primary schools, middle schools, high schools, colleges and universities. Few people can deny the fact that the schools play essential roles in our experiences and affect us on every aspect of our lives. For me, schools are as necessary as they have always been.
2. Instead staying at home all day, students tend to make friends and enjoy their lives more easily in school .
4.Teachers can give useful and personal advise when they meet the students in real life.
5.Teachers and students will become more creative when they discuss questions with each other in the classroom.
6.Although some opponents think that nowadays schools are not necessary because students can be taught at home with using iPads and computers. I still insist that schools are not an alternative.
7.Schools have always been essential and important until now. This sentiment inspires me to share my ideals with you.
