"CITYBIZ"

Announcer(Compere):Good morning, Mike Eppel.

Mike Eppel: Hi, Kevin.We 've got Canadian banks growing up what they are expected to be a busy spring time real estate market and some ultra-low mortgage rates. Once again, The Bank of Montreal offers a special five years rate at 2.99% follows the TD bank's four years rate at 2.97%, or back to these rates below 3% pressure. Last time we saw these was about a year ago we recalled. When the bank will publicly rebuilt by that Finance minister Jim Flaherty for lowing mortgage rates too much,They're concerning about creating bubbling house, Nobody sees that right now,They figure gonna be busy. This spring time is for real estate market competing to get some mortgage business. Sue gain  very low borrowing cost will say if that fact was prepared the higher, The price is for real estate specifically in the GTA.

It was really hard to listen clearly about this report! I couldn't keep up with Mike's speed of speaking, I almost listened to it word for word and sentence for sentence with uncounted times in more than 5 hours, I hate this report, It made me lose my confident for learning, It really let me feel annoyed and depressed and worried about my listening English at this night.

My choice about advertising flyers online

1、

Walmart:sunlight liquid laundry detergent $12.94 was:$18.98 5.08L

Rexall Pharm Plus: Tide simply clean & fresh laundry detergent

$2.99 limit6 1.18L

Tartget:Purex Triple action laundry 2.95 l detergent

$5.00  

I have compared the flyers of different supermarkets， I found the laundry detergent of Target is the cheapest. Although this brand named Purex sounds like relatively common, but I really like triple action of its concentration.Target isn't far from my home, This distance won't cost my husband too much petrol, So I'm going to buy this kind of laundry detergent named Purex.

2、walmart: huggies or pampers giant pack diapers

156 pieces $26.97

Shoppers drug mart: huggies or pampers largest-box diapers

180 pieces $39.00

I have a little baby, She just is 18 months. So I would be more concerned about the discount information of diapers. I have checked the flyers about diapers, Not all supermarkets provide discounts on diapers. I prefer buying the diapers of Pampers, because the texture of the products of this brand is quite soft, It makes my baby feeling more comfortable than Huggie's. However, due to the factor of the price,I would consider to buy the products which are on sale. In general,the same type of goods in Walmart will be cheaper than in Shoppers Drug Mart.

Sounds of Nature in Roy Thomson Hall

              Sounds of Nature in Roy Thomson Hall

On May 1st, It was sunny day, Our school arranged a field trip to go to concert hall, We expected this musical artistic trip. We met classmates in Don Mills subway station, then, we were on the way to Roy Thomson Hall.

When we stood outside of R.T.H, My heart was touched by such a magnificent building .Under the bright sun, The CN Tower stands in two high building as the backdrop of the concert hall, The sights Composed a beautiful picture in my eyes.

When the guide took us to enter inside, we were shocked by spectacular internal structures. The huge pipe organ set in the main wall back of the stage, The auditoriums were designed scattered levels, They looked like petals, The dazzling lights on the ceiling looked like a stamen. We felt so excited and took many photos to keep such a wonderful memory.

There were two choirs that would perform for us, They were Hamilton Children's Choir and Young Voices Toronto. What a exciting time was coming! Children dressed bright colour came into the concert hall one after another and set foot on the stage. Just one moment, The audiences were suddenly silent, A wonderful cappella sounds performed by the children taking people into a sounds of paradise. My heart was fluctuated by the rhythms of sounds of Children's Choirs. Sometimes, They swayed with the rhythms. Sometimes, They clapped their hands. Sometimes, They moved and stamp-stomped or changed the formation. They were keeping coordinated actions. They sometimes sang pure and high-pitched voice, Sometimes, They could sound some interesting voices, such as, buzzing, rustle, A special syllable——ding，dong，deng，dung，dang that sounded like knocking sounds of water, The sound of the train is traveling, The sound of the train whistling. Including open-throated chant singing and earthy vocal drones，This kind of strange and particular sounds are similar to Chinese Mongolian Khoomei. The performances were progressing, I saw a musician playing the humbling musical instruments named the Organ, That voices were soul-stirring and solemn. There also was the Sand Hammer's voices. I couldn't recognized the musical styles about jazz and folk and anything else, but I really enjoyed them and sozzled in such good music. The children's fantastic voices showed about a fairy world. How amazing the sounds were!

The children with great enthusiasm were singing dignified anthem with calm and mild sounds, It sounded like melodious and peaceful. My favorite one of choral songs was anthem for praising the sacrificial great love of the Lord Jesus. Its name gave me a deep impression,It was“The Lamp of Poor Soul”. When the song was sounded, The hall suddenly got into the dark, The lights were went out(put out), The children lit up the mini flashlights, The flashing lights twinkled with the sound. This scene touched my heart and reminded me of the words from the Bible，“ Jesus is the light of this world， Jesus is the sacrificial Holy Lamb to save the souls of the world.” This song and lyrics came from the scriptures of Bible. When I came back home to find the scriptures that came from MARK:Chapter14:24 sections and JOHN:Chapter1：section9,“The Resurrection of Jesus.Jesus said to disciples，‘This is my blood of the covenant，which is poured out for many（people）， The ture light，which enlightens everyone，was coming into the world.’” Chapter8:section12,“Jesus saying,‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’” Chapter1:section29, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Acts(Psalms:16:sections:8-11):Chapter2:section25-28,“I saw the Lord always before me, for he is at my right hand so that I will not be shaken，therefore my heart was glad, and my tongue rejoiced;moreover my flesh will live in hope. For you will not abandon my soul to Hades, or let your Holy One experience corruption. You have made known to me the ways of life，you will make me full of gladness with your presence.” The gospel in the song was lingering around my ears, I could not help but pray for God's mercy, the grace of the Lord Jesus being with each of us who are struggling and adapting difficultly in this new country.

After the choirs' sounds stopped , and then there were bursts of broke out a round of applause. I couldn't completely express my entire feeling touched by the sounds of nature, but I've got enough fantastic and juicy musical experiences.
I expected I can still revel in this angelic chorus of Children's choirs at the next time.
