The city

Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big
city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and
details to support your answer.

To my personally I like to live in a big city where it is not necessary to me to go out of her to buy, ambien takes disadvantages as the noise that generates the traffic, the contaminacon of the factories and industries. But I think that it has mas advantages, since I have said before to have all kinds of places nearby, to be communicated by all sites and by all the persons.

The winter festival


The Snowking Winter Festival is an annual festival held each March in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada.
The festival is a major winter tourist draw to Yellowknife It centres around the snow castle, built from snow with window panes of ice. Each winter the castle is built on Yellowknife Bay, on Great Slave Lake. The castle is designed and the construction is supervised by Snowking, Anthony Foliot. The design evolves every year and the castle has grown to include an auditorium, cafe, courtyard, traditional igloo, slide, parapets and turrets.
It has become tradition that the castle's opening night is celebrated with a fireworks display. As many as 2,000 people venture out onto the ice to watch the show. Snowking addresses his subjects, welcoming them to another castle season.
Throughout the month of March, the castle hosts a film night, children's plays on the weekends, and live music most Friday and Saturday nights.
