Imagine your life without the TTC.  Everyone needs the TTC in order to complete their tasks. Especially in the winter.  There is not so impressive system of transportation in Toronto. Many students are facing difficulties because they have to wait especially for the #100 bus.  Sometimes two buses come at a time and sometimes students have to wait for 30 minutes.  My opinion is to make a proper system for buses so that people take benefits.

I took a picture of the bridge in Flemingdon that’s above the highway.  You can see a lot from the bridge. If you look closely, you may even see the CN tower and a few buildings surrounding it.  A lot of my friends live on the other side of the bridge and they cross it everyday to go to school.

This picture represents the entire region of Flemingdon Park.  Many people call this home.  And many memories (good and bad) are made in this neighbourhood.  Many programs are used to help children, and adults.  There’s lots of room for everyone to play and hang out.  This neighbourhood itself has expanded a lot over the years and is accustomed to many cultures and religions.  Lastly, Flemingdon is my home and home to many others.

Introducing ESL class is a great idea for newcomers, especially for the people who do not have English as their first language.  It will allow them to get involved in the community and will also make them feel comfortable.  ESL classes will enable them to interact with other people and will make their lives easier.  Many newcomers really don’t know what to do or where to go, especially when they don’t know anyone or don’t have any relatives or friends in the area. They may feel lonely and may need assistance.  ESL classes perhaps could be the right thing for them. There they can be told more about the country, law and order and how things go around here. This may be a vital help to them and can benefit their family too.  Helping them in learning a new language may not be as beneficial to the adults as we think.  Educating the parents may not help them as much but it will help their children for sure. Educated children mean a bright future for our country.  This ESL program can be very good idea for newcomers and the government should plan more about such classes so our country can have a much brighter future.

This picture represents the community because it shows that we as the people of the community don’t respect our community.  We need to learn how to share.  So we should start to respect our community and help out by not throwing garbage, and trying to pick some up.  If everyone picked up one piece, then that would make a huge difference.  Also, if people see you picking up garbage they will start too.
