Yesterday we went to an amazing place, UfT. It's so big. It includes several buildings for several colleges.

It was the first time I see buildings with a british style. The halls are huge with a high ceiling made of wood, and many pictures for a famous people have studied and gratuated from this university.We took a quick look to the library and the chapel and the resturant.

I would like to visit it again with my kids to encourage them to study hard to get an admission in that university.

’I wish I were’

In modern, spoken English both ’I wish I were’ and ‘I wish I was’ are accepted as being grammatically correct, but usually and in formal contexts it is more appropriate to use ‘I wish I were’.

Example: I wish I were as young as you.
Example: I wish I were in a sunny place.

Write a short paragraph starting with "I wish I were................." and the reason for your wish and how you can achieve this dream if achievable.

I wish I were taller. I'm not too short but I like to be taller.In the university, my two best friends were taller than me, so most times I wore a high heels. When we walked for a long time, I felt so tired. I hate the high heels, even though I can't stay without. When I wear it , and be the taller one, I feel happy.
