A year in Canada
TT: Welcome to Teen Talk! Every week we chat to a teenager who lives in a different country.
We love finding out about different lifestyles and places! This week we talk to Gordon
Murdoch. Gordon usually lives in Scotland, but he’s living in Canada for six months.
What’s Canada like? Is Gordon enjoying life there? Can you tell us about your family and
where you live, Gordon?
Gordon: Well, my mum and dad are both Scottish. My dad has a job here for one year so my whole
family are living here. We’re living in Vancouver which is a big city beside the sea. It’s a
beautiful city. At the weekends we go walking in the mountains. It’s winter now and my
sister and I go skiing every weekend. In summer there are lots of parks to visit and there are
some beautiful beaches too. It does rain a lot though!
TT: What’s your school like?
Gordon: It’s great. The best thing about my school is the mountains I can see from the window. I’m
interested in languages and I’m learning French. I’m really terrible at maths though!
TT: How would you describe your Canadian friends?
Gordon: Well, they are all very sporty. Everybody likes playing team games and being outdoors all
the time. At first, they seemed quite shy. I found them very calm and serious – but when
you get to know them they’re actually really good fun. I have a lot of friends now. Oh …
and they’re all brilliant at skiing!
TT: What’s your favourite celebration in Canada?
Gordon: Oh, that’s easy! It’s ‘Canada Day’ – the national day of Canada. It’s in summer, so it’s
usually really good weather. They have barbecues, fireworks and concerts and everybody
has a big party. I’m excited about next Canada day already!
TT: Wow, Canada sounds amazing! You’re so lucky!
