Hello, native English speakers,
I have a question about the usage of "see" in the last sentence.
What does it mean? Is this text written in natural English?
Takuya, Jane, and Daniel were cycling along a beautiful seaside path in Stanley Park. Cyclists, in-line skaters, and joggers were all enjoying themselves.
Takuya thought that many of them were probably tourists because they seemed to be from different countries. However, Jane said, "You can't tell whether they are Canadians or not just by their looks."
Daniel said to Takuya, "Canada is a very multicultural country. There are immigrants from many different places and people from different indigenous groups too. For example, our family's ancestors came from England, but First Nations peoples were living here long before Europeans came. Inuit and Metis peoples also have their own cultures."
In Stanley Park, Takuya felt he was truly seeing a multicultural country.
