【话匣子英语】生活在蒙特利尔的瑞塔

今天瑞塔来做客，她讲述了她从小生活在蒙特利尔的经历，是不是很幸福呢

Maura: So, what was it like growing up in this fun great city, Montreal?

Rita: It was great. I grew up in an Anglophone community so a lot of my friends were English. I’m first-generation Italian-Canadian. My parents came to Canada, to Montreal, in 1968 with my two brothers and my mom was pregnant with my sister.

Maura: Ok

Rita: But we had a lot of family here with us as well, so it made that transition a lot easier. I grew up in a great neighborhood, it was very multicultural¹. I had Greek friends, I had Jewish friends, I had Italian friends. So it was just a lot of friends.

Maura: That is something else that I think is really special about Montreal, there are so many different cultures and often they live all together. So they are not just living separately, there’s all kinds of cultures interacting together.

Rita: Absolutely, absolutely. You can see anyone from anywhere anytime.
