museums, two of the most important are the Art Gallery of Ontario
and the Royal Ontario Museum. Both are known world-wide for
their collections.
Toronto residents can also go in for many sports afforded by
Lake Ontario in summer and skating at the City Hall in winter. For
the spectator, there is Maple Leaf Gardens, the huge stadium which
is not only the home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the city’s National
Hockey League Team, but also houses a variety of activities from
ballets to circuses.
With all this, it is still really the people who give a city its own
distinctive flavour, and Toronto is marked by a wealth of cultural
diversity. A large percentage of newcomers, both from other countries
and points within Canada, are concentrated in Toronto. On a street
one might meet a policeman from Scotland, a shopkeeper from
Portugal, or an engineer from New Delhi. Many people have brought
their heritage and traditions with them, and these are preserved in
festivals, ethnic restaurants and stores which exhibit the crafts of
many countries.

New-comer: Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the Druzhba
Hotel? I am a stranger here, I’ve just arrived in St.
Petersburg.
Passer-by: Oh, it is quite a long way from here.
New-comer: Yes, I know, but my friends advised me to put up at
this hotel.
Passer-by: Your friends are right, it is one of our best hotels. You
may go there by the underground. It’s the quickest way
to get there, though you’ll have to change on to a bus
in Lev Tolstoy Square or walk.
New-comer: What bus shall I change on to?
Passer-by: A number 65 or 46 bus will take you to Popov Street.
It is only one stop from the metro station.
