1. (I= Interviewer, P= Paulo):
I: Do you like your city?
P: Oh, yes, I feel lucky to be living in a city that?Ts so big and exciting. I love looking out of my apartment window over the high- rise buildings.
I: What?Ts the city centre like?
P: Some people say that it?Ts too noisy and crowded, but I love that. Therê?Ts always something to see and do. We also have the most famous beach in the world- Copacabana Beach. Then, on the other side of the city, there are beautiful mountains. The highest one is called Corcovado, and it has the famous statue of Christ. If you look down at the city from there, the view is spectacular.
I: What?Ts the weather like?
P: It?Ts great most of the time. The only time I don?Tt like Rio much is in the summer, it?Ts too hot and humid.
2. (I= Interviewer, G= Gisela)
I: Do you like your city?
G: Yes, it?Ts wonderful. I think my city has everything.
I: What?Ts the architecture like?
G: It?Ts a mixture of old and new with plenty of shops for everybody. The castle is the most famous monument, and it looks amazing.
I: What?Ts the nightlife like?
G: It?Ts a young city because of the university, so there are plenty of cheap restaurants and interesting cafes and bars. It?Ts got a great nightlife.
I: And what are the people like?
G: Well, some people are abit reserved, but in general they?Tre really friendly.
3. (I= Interviewer, A= Armelle)

A: Well, I live in a small village with my parents. My grandparents live here too, and my aunts and uncles. In fact, I think I?Tm related to about fifty percent of the people in my village.
I: What?Ts your village like?
A: It?Ts pretty. The countryside is beautiful, and the air is lovely and clean. But it?Ts too quiet. I find it so dull and boring here- there aren?Tt any discos or cinemas.
I: What are the people like?
A: Oh, they?Tre lovely, but there aren?Tt many young people. I want to go and live in the city, Soon.
4. (I= Interviewer, L= Luigi)
I: What do you think of your city?
L: It?Ts a very special place. There is nowhere else in the world like my city- it?Ts so romantic.
I: What?Ts the city centre like?
L: The buildings are beautiful, and we have San Marco, one of the most famous churches in the world. San Marco Square is wonderful, and during carnival in February Venice is the best place in the world to be.
I: Do you like living here?
L: No, I really hate living here. It?Ts horrible. There are too many tourists everywhere.
I: Oh, dear. What are the shops like?
L: Well, because of the tourists, the shops are too expensive and the canals are dirty and polluted. My city is not big enough for all these people. Why don?Tt they leave us in peace?

I have been to many cities, but the city I know and like best is the one Iam describing to you. The name of the city is Dalat. I spent a week there on business. Dalat is located in the Highlands in Central Vietnam ad is about 300 km from HCM City.
It is a very pretty city built on the â?oLang Biangâ? Plateau and is situated in the middle of a valley which is surrounded by rolling hills and a range of high and rugged mountains.
The city is centered to the west of the beautiful Ho Xuan Huong Lake. For the most part, the roads in the area are curved and steep. Magnificent villas are scattered on both sides of the roads. We can also find some lovely villas nestled in the pine-woods and others located far up on the mountains and overlooking the city and valley. The beautiful mountains, trees and lakes make Dalat resemble a city located somewhere in Switzerland and not belonging to Vietnam.
I think Dalat is a very pretty and enjoyable city. It is a favorite place for tourists and artists. Artists find Dalat ideal for their work. It offers beautiful scenery for their inspiration. Other persons find the beauty and solitude inspirational for their writing.

õ? Advantages of living in a city:
We are living in the Information Age. Change is much more rapid than ever. Cities and towns represent the central pulse of change. Change, information, media events etcõ?Ưare coming but very slowly to the rural areas. The young generation is easily swept up into this pace. They have the energy, the verve that they want to exert. They naturally seek out new and exciting things. They are in a hurry to grow up, to find excitements, to meet new friends.
For many young people, rural life- a simple and slow aced existence- does not appeal to their idea of fulfillment. One example of a cityõ?Ts appeal is fashion. Designs and fashion trends begin in the cities and slowly, if at all, filter out to the rural areas. The young generation has always wanted to be õ?oinõ? on fashion. Designer magazines, fashion shows, new labels are readily available in the city.
Apart from that, modern amenities are more prominent in the city. Satellite TV, fax machines, computers, newspapers, telephone, even simple electricity are sometimes difficult to come by in rural areas. The outside world is so much close to us, in the city. With all this information and technology in the city, opportunities to do (of doing) something open up. The countryside offers jobs such as farming or small cottage industry. The range of carreer choice is very narrow. The educational facilities in rural areas reflect these limited opportunities. The younger generation often moves to large cities primarily for a better education, which, in turn, facilitates their job search. As cities grow, carreer choices widen- big business, banking, investment, foreign companies, hotel and service industries, all have head offices in the city.
We also must not forget the appeal for meeting new people and friends. Rural areas are often very homogenous. Yet the city offers friendship with people from all over the country as well as from distance lands.
In conclusion, we can see that for many young people, the quiet life in the countryside is not attractive. Cities and towns have movement, energy, excitement, noise that young people crave for. Cities also offer new music, arts, a variety of night life and fashion. And in young peopleõ?Ts minds, the educational and carreer possibilities are located in the city.

õ? The traffic problems in city and how to solve them
Our country in general and our city in particular has seen great changes recently thanks *****ccessful ecomic achievements. Many people, especially the young are attracted to this city in the hope of finding good opportunities to study as well as to secure a good job. As a result, the city is more and more populated, and more and more vehicles of all kinds are being used as means of transport. This creates many traffic jams all over the city, especially during rush hours. According to the latest statistics there were more than 4000 traffic accidents in the last six months, killing hundreds of people and damaging thousands of vehicles. The frequent traffic congestion also causes a lot of trouble to the people going to their work places or going somewhere to deal with urgent matters.
So itõ?Ts about time the government did something to solve these problems.
As we all know, the streets in our city were built a long time ago and were designed for a city of two million people or so. The increase in population seems to make the streets narrower, resulting in traffic congestion. The government should enlarge the streets or turn them into one- way streets. Then to reduce the need of using private vehicles to go to work or on business, the government can set up more bus lines leading to major areas, markets, shopping centres and recreation places. Next the government should clear up sidewalks and pavement occupied by sellers and buyers so that pedestrians donõ?Tt have to walk in the streets. A lot of riders often violate traffic laws. They go against traffic lights in defiance of eve the policemen standing guard over the traffic at the crossroads and else where without being fined since the number of traffic policemen seem to be few in number. So we should have more traffic policemen keeping an eye on traffic everywhere. Then traffic laws and regulations should be announced repeatedly through mass media and taught in class. Driving licenses should be a õ?omustõ? and age limits to ride a motorbike should be raised. The police should have tighter control over traffic enforcements in this city and should severely penalize those who violate traffic laws. Last but not least, we should see to it that everyone moving in the streets have self- discipline. They should know how to cherish their own lives as well as the lives of others by observing traffic laws. Only then can traffic problems be solved.

SECTION 1:
TOSHIO: Well, Claudia, our first semester at university is almost over. I can?Tt wait for the holidays.
CLAUDIA: Me too, Toshio! Why don?Tt we go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and essays and all that hard work.
TOSHIO: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester?
CLAUDIA: Wê?Tve got about 6 weeks, I think.
TOSHIO: How about if we go to the coast? It would be great to do some swimming and surfing.
CLAUDIA: The coast would be good. But let?Ts look at our other options. Therê?Ts the mountains. They?Tre nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush- walking. Therê?Ts also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year.
TOSHIO: What about going to Sydney? I?Tve never been there and they say it?Ts a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I?Tve heard.
CLAUDIA: I agree Sydney would be good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I?Td rather get away from buildings and cars. There are enough of those around here. I vote for the mountains.
TOSHIO: All right, then, let?Ts do that. Now we have to decide where wê?Tre going to stay and how wê?Tre going to get there. Any suggestions?
CLAUDIA: Well, for places to stay, there are the usual places: motels, hotels, youth hostels. We could go camping, too.
TOSHIO: I?Tm afraid I?Tm not a very good camper, Claudia. I tend to feel a bit frightened sleeping outdoors. And the hassle of building fires and all the insects, and?
CLAUDIA: All right, all right. Wê?Tll forget about camping. Although I must admit it would ?~ve bee my first choice. So what should we do?
TOSHIO: Well, since neither of us has a lot of money, I don?Tt think a hotel or motel would be possible. How about a youth hostel?
CLAUDIA: I ?~ d rather not go to a youth hostel, Toshio. They?Tre certainly cheap, but you never get to be alone in those places, therê?Ts always a stranger in the next bed, and I hate sharing kitchens with people I don?Tt know. No, I think we should find a small holiday house to rent. And if we get more friends to join us, it will be really cheap.
TOSHIO: I think your ideâ?Ts spot on. But, who should we ask along? How about Peter? Do you think hê?Td want to join us?
CLAUDIA: I was just talking to him this morning and he said he was flying home to Hong Kong for a visit.
TOSHIO: Oh, well, what about Maria and her boyfriend Gyorg? Oh, and David Wong might be interested. And his brother Walter is studying here, too. We can ask him.
CLAUDIA: Hang on, not so fast, please. I?Tm writing a list of people to rig. Let me think. We could ask Jennifer, too. I don?Tt think she has any plans. And Michael Sullivan, perhaps, too. I think I?Tll just ring them all now.
After ringing their friends, Claudia returns to speak to Toshio:
CLAUDIA: Well, I talked to everyone we thought of. A few of them are quite keen, actually.
TOSHIO: Tell me, what did they say?
CLAUDIA: Well, Jennifer can?Tt make it. Shê?Ts already booked a flight to Queensland. She says shê?Ts going to meet her boyfriend up there. I also talked to David Wong. He says hê?Tll come. He says hê?Ts really looking forward to getting off campus, too.
TOSHIO: What about his brother, Walter?
CLAUDIA: His brother is goig overseas. In fact, hê?Ts not even coming back next term. It seems hê?T transferred to a university in Canada. Er, I then called Mariâ?Ts house. Her boyfriend, Gyorg answered. I told him our plans and he sked Maria. They both want to join us.
TOSHIO: Good. They?Tll be fun to be with. Now, what about Michael Sullivan? Did you talk to him?
CLAUDIA: Yes. But he said hê?Td rather spend his holiday at home. Hê?Ts not interested in going anywhere! Can you imagine?
As the conversation continues, answer Questions 8 to 11
TOSHIO: The form asks for home addresses. I?Tve put mine, 52 Miller Street, but let me see if I?Tve got yours right. It?Ts 614 Valentine Street, isn?Tt it?
CLAUDIA: You?Tve got the street number right, but not the street name. It?Ts 614 Ballantyne Street. That?Ts B ?" A double L- A- N- T- Y-N-E.
TOSHIO: Ok. Wê?Tre paying by cre*** card. Is that all right?
CLAUDIA: That?Ts fine.
TOSHIO: Have you got a Visa card or a Master card? And I need to know the number, of course.
CLAUDIA: Sure. It?Ts 7743 2129. But it?Ts not a Visa or MasterCard. It?Ts an American Express card.Right?
TOSHIO: So, let me just repeat that. It?Ts 7743 2129. American Express, right?
CLAUDIA: That?Ts right.
TOSHIO: One more thing we have to write down- that?Ts the deposit wê?Tre paying to reserve the holiday house. It says it should be at least 10 percent of the rental cost.
CLAUDIA: Let?Ts just figure that out now. Er, wê?Tre paying $ 350 a week, right?
TOSHIO: Right. And wê?Tre planning to stay there for five weeks. So the deposit?Ts, what, shall we say $225?
CLAUDIA: No, that can?Tt be right. I?Td say it?Ts less than that. In fact, about $50 less than that. It should be $175.
TOSHIO: Hmm. I guess you?Tre right. Okay, that?Ts what I?Tll put down.
