We Are Exploring Toronto On a Weekend Trip

(1) Tyler: Listen
We've finally arrived at our destination. I can't wait to explore Toronto tomorrow.

Toronto is the biggest city in Canada.

(2) Bianca: Listen
I know. I'm so excited! I've been [vocab word=look forward to]looking forward to[/vocab] this trip for a long time.
(3) Tyler: Listen
Me too. I even dreamed about this vacation on the plane!

"dream about" is a common verb + preposition pattern.

(4) Bianca: Listen
Then, let's not waste time. I know it's late, but let's look at our [vocab word=tourist]tourist[/vocab] [vocab word=guidebook]guidebook[/vocab] and [vocab word=plan out]plan out[/vocab] our day tomorrow.

"look at" is another verb + preposition pattern.

(5) Tyler: Listen
Okay. What do you think of visiting the CN Tower? It's one of the tallest [vocab word=tower]towers[/vocab] in the world, and the view from there should be amazing.

"think of" is another verb + preposition pattern. It means to consider or imagine something.

(6) Bianca: Listen
It sounds like a plan. I wonder how much we need to pay for the tickets.

"pay for" is a verb + preposition pattern. It means to pay money to buy something. "I wonder how much we need to pay ..." is an embedded question. The direct question is "How much do we need to pay ...?"

(7) Tyler: Listen
The guidebook didn't say what the price is. I'll look for the price online tomorrow. I don't think it's too expensive.

To "look for" something means to search something.

(8) Bianca: Listen
Alright. What about food? Can we eat in the CN Tower?
(9) Tyler: Listen
Absolutely. CN Tower has a restaurant called 360 The Restaurant. It's at the top of the CN Tower, and you can see the entire city from there.
(10) Bianca: Listen
Wow, cool! Let's go to the CN Tower in the evening and have dinner there. I bet the city view at night will be amazing.

"I bet ..." means "I am sure ..." or "I really think that ..."

(11) Tyler: Listen
I agree with you. How about lunch? Shall we try some street food?

"agree with" is a common verb + preposition pattern. There is a person or a group after "with". "Street food" means the food sold on the street (food truck, for example).

(12) Bianca: Listen
Yes. I really want to try the [vocab word=poutine]poutine[/vocab]. Apparently, that's a famous Canadian cuisine.

"Apparently ..." means you've heard of it, but you've never tried it yourself.

(13) Tyler: Listen
We should ask for recommendations on the best poutine in town.
(14) Bianca: Listen
I'm sure we can [vocab word=count on]count on[/vocab] the people on the street to [vocab word=guide]guide[/vocab] us.

"count on (someone)" means you can rely on someone; you think someone can do it.

(15) Tyler: Listen
On the second day, shall we go to the Toronto Islands?

The modal verb "shall" is used to make a suggestion.

(16) Bianca: Listen
It depends on the weather. I heard it'll rain [vocab word=the day after tomorrow]the day after tomorrow[/vocab].

"depend on" is a common verb + preposition pattern. "It depends on the weather" means if the weather is different, you'll do something different.

(17) Tyler: Listen
If it's sunny, we'll go to the Toronto Islands. What should we do if it's rainy?
(18) Bianca: Listen
We could go to the Royal Ontario Museum. It has extensive [vocab word=exhibit]exhibits[/vocab] about art, [vocab word=archaeology]archaeology[/vocab], and science. The [vocab word=dinosaur]Dinosaur[/vocab] Exhibit is the most famous one.

The modal verb "could" is used to make a suggestion.

(19) Tyler: Listen
The ticket is around 30 dollars per adult. It's [vocab word=pretty]pretty[/vocab] affordable. How about Day 3?

The ticket costs $30 for 1 adult, $60 for 2 adults.

(20) Bianca: Listen
We'll think about that tomorrow. Let's go to sleep. We have a full day of [vocab word=adventure]adventure[/vocab] ahead of us tomorrow.

"think about" is a common verb + preposition pattern.

(21) Tyler: Listen
Alright. This is going to be an [vocab word=unforgettable]unforgettable[/vocab] trip for us!

"unforgettable" has 3 parts - the prefix "un" meaning "not", the root "forget", and the suffix "able" meaning "can". So the word "unforgettable" means "you cannot forget it".
