W: Hey, Mike, it has been a while since we met last time. What’s up?
M: I have been busy with my study and my part-time job. How about you? Any plans for the coming summer?
W: I plan to go to Canada this summer vacation. I heard that you have been there several times. Any places of interest that you could recommend to me?
M: Well, you must visit the Art Gallery of Ontario, because it is the best art gallery in Ontario and is ranked as one of the biggest galleries in North America.
W: I see. Then what impressed you most there?
M: Its rich collection of masterpieces and its widely acclaimed architectural design. In addition to display galleries, the structure houses an extensive library, student spaces,gallery workshop space, artist-in-residence, a high-end restaurant,café,espresso bar, research center,theatre and lecture hall, a gift shop,and an event space called the Baillie Court, which occupies the entirety of the third floor.
W: Sounds amazing! I must visit there then! And have you been to Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal?
M: Yes! It was the biggest church in North America when it opened in 1830. Visitors to Canada should not miss that!
W: Why?
M: Well, the church is famous for its architectural style all over the world. It follows the Gothic style. And it is also noted for its religious theme, which is represented in the form of the Holy Trinity through decorative details.
W: So have I heard! And the interior of its chapel was inspired by the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris.
M: Sure. One more thing that you should not miss in Canada is the University of Toronto.
W: Yes. That is on my visiting schedule. I heard that the university has a history of nearly 200 years and is ranked number one in Canada.
M: Yes. It was founded by a royal charter in 1827 as King’s College.
W: Wow! It surely has a very long history. But do you happen to know its curricula? I may consider taking my postgraduate courses there.
M: Academically, the University of Toronto is noted for its curricula in literary criticism and communication theory, known collectively as the Toronto School. And the university was also the birthplace of insulin and stem cell research. By a significant margin, it receives the most annual scientific research funding of any Canadian university.
W: Really? I heard that a lot of famous people come from there.
M: Yes. The University of Toronto has educated two Governors General of Canada and four Prime Ministers of Canada, four foreign leaders, fourteen Justices of the Supreme Court, and has been affiliated with ten Nobel laureates.
W: Wow! What a great university! I can’t wait to see it myself! Thank you for your tips on Canada.
