 今天安德鲁采访的是他的朋友罗斯,罗斯向我们介绍了他自己.....


Andrew: Today I have my friend Ross here with me and I would like to welcome you to the show, Ross.


 


Ross: Hi Andrew. Thanks.


 


Andrew: No problem. How are you doing today?


 


Ross: Oh, pretty good.


 


Andrew: Ross, I know that you are not originally 1 from Montreal. I was just hoping that you could tell us when you moved to Montreal, and why you came here, and also where you’re from originally.


 


Ross: Sure, OK. Well I first moved to Montreal about 4, 4 and a half years ago. I’m originally from Calgary, or near… a small town near Calgary. And I moved here after living in Calgary for maybe 7 years. I moved with my wife. She was doing her master’s in English at McGill. So, I was working from home at the time. And we moved and after a couple of years of living here, studying French, I decided 2 to enrol 3 in the program at Concordia, actually. And I have been there now for almost… almost 2 years, maybe.


 


Andrew: Very cool. So you’re originally from wild rose country.


 


Ross: Yeah. A small town called Didsbury, actually.


 


Andrew: Didsbury. That’s the provincial 4 slogan 5 of Alberta, right? Wild Rose Country?


 


Ross: Yeah. I think so, yeah. Wild Rose Country. It’s on the licence 6 plate.


 


Andrew: Yeah. I like that. That’s a good slogan. Cool, so you’ve been here for several years now. And do you enjoy Montreal?


 


Ross: Yeah. I love it here, actually. I have a hard time imagining being 7 somewhere else. You know, the opportunity 8 to meet a lot of different people, speak a lot of different languages, experience a pretty lively culture, and the walkability is probably one of my favourite things. You know, living and being able to walk to coffee shops and stores and everything easily is a nice benefit 9.


 


Andrew: Yeah. That’s true. Montreal is a very walkable city. And now, it’s funny, Ross, that you mention walking because I know that you’ve travelled a lot and during some of your travels, you’ve had some interesting walking experiences. Do you mind telling us a little bit about those?
