15．Toronto is a big and beautiful city，which has developed from a relative unknown place over the past half century to the centre of culture，trade and communication in Canada．
With its colorful ethnic（種族的）mix，rich history and breathtaking buildings，Toronto offers non-stop adventures to the tourists．To get a sense of how big，various and magical Toronto is，the best place to start is the CN Tower，the tallest free-standing（無支撐物的）building in the world．From this point，visitors can get a bird's-eye view of the city's amazing scenery and unique geography．
In addition to being an important center of culture，trade and communication in Canada，Toronto is also a major multi-ethnic city．It has a population of over 4.5maillion，and its citizens come from countries around the world and from all manner of ethnic backgrounds．Every day，in most places of the city，a hundred different languages can be heard on the streets，from Hindi to Greek to French．This，perhaps，explains why former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau once said that Canada is really more mosaic（馬賽克，鑲嵌圖案） of cultures and languages than a melting pot．
Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English．Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages，and the city hosts successful international film festival each September．It is also home to a popular baseball team，the Toronto Blue Jays．Toronto has something for everyone．
