Yesterday, we took a field trip to University of Toronto. I have been to U of T before. I knew I just looked around the campus. But this time, we would have a tour guide and could have a depth travel. She was a beautiful girl with lovely smile. Whenever she smiled, her eyes became crescent shape. After explaining and visiting a spot, she asked us whether we had any questions, I always said in my mind, “repeat, speak three times.” I knew it was due to my poor listening comprehension, I could not catch her words.
U of T's predecessor was King College.Then during a long time, some colleges united together to form U of T of today. The guide showed us the building of University College that is very famous and magnificent. When I went in it, to my surprise, it is rather simple. Because I thought that a beautiful castle must be luxury. Looking over the lawn, there is a building with a circle roof that has a big classroom. It is up to you to choose big classroom or small classroom for studying or having a seminar. The Soldiers' Tower is a monument that commemorates the students of the U of T serving in World Wars. Then we went to the Hart House that is used as entertainment place, not for study. We visited the St. Michael's College, Victoria College, and Trinity College. In Trinity College, the guide took us to see a chapel, and the pastor will come in meeting time. Wedding can also be hold there. Near the cafeteria, I saw a board on the wall that lists the leaders of the college and divinity, Because it was so hurry, I could not see it clearly, the leader was changed every year, why? We also visited the libraries. It was so amazing that there are 44 libraries in U of T. We visited Robarts library that is a 14-floor building. It looks like a turkey or peacock. It has collected a large number of books, especially there are some old and precious books. 1-8 floors are open for public, others are for students. Besides studying, students need physical exercises. A big sports center shocked me. There are a standard Olympic swimming pool, sports ground, many exercise rooms in it. I thought the students are really enjoying their lives in the University. How I hope I can study there! Maybe my daughter will have the chance. Before 1 p.m., our trip came to an end.
