Andy: Well, this is Andy Wong, and we’re just about at the end of another episode of “Where in the world…?” But before we sign off, I’d like to tell you a little about tomorrow’s program. Tomorrow we’ll have a interesting report on two very exciting cities that I’m sure you won’t want to miss. Our reporters in the field, Deborah and Todd, are standing by to fill us in on the details. Deborah! Can you hear me?

Deborah: Yes, Andy, loud and clear. Andy: Well, where are you?

Deborah: You know I can’t tell you that, Andy! You have to watch tomorrow’s program to get the answer.

Andy: oh, right! That’s right. Well, tell us about the place anyway.

Deborah: ok. This city is a very exciting place to visit. First of all, it is one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the world. It is a very cosmopolitan city with a strong identity of its own. And the local food is unique. I really am enjoying the restaurants that serve barbecued beef, which is grilled right at your table. But I must warn you , much of the food is extremely spicy, so come prepared. Do you like spicy food, Andy? Andy: Love it!

Deborah: Well, you should come on over, then! Andy, this city is very old! It was founded in the fourteenth century and is divided by the Han River. The city has a striking combination of modern and ancient architecture. In fact, most of the traditional architecture is located on the northern side of the river- when I am now. With its efficient subway system, it’s very easy to get around and see the sights.

Andy: Great, Deborah. Thanks so much for…

Deborah: oh, wait, Andy! One more thing I forgot to mention! The shopping- the street vendors here sell everything from shoes to electronics to furniture- all at discounted prices! Oops, have I said too much?

Andy: No, no, not at all! Sounds like you’re having a fantastic time. We’re looking forward to hearing your full report tomorrow, and finding out just where in the world you are right now! Before we run out of time, though, let me turn it over to Todd. Todd? Are you there?

Todd: I sure am. Hello, everyone. Well, my city is very old. It was founded in fifteen forty-nine by the Portuguese. It is now the third largest city in the country, with about two million inhabitants. It’s quite fascinating. Believe it or not, it’s built into a cliff, and it overlooks a beautiful bay. It’s actually on two levels. To get to the upper level you can take an elevator. From there you have a wonderful view of the bay. And if you enjoy swimming, there are beautiful beaches. Andy: well, Todd! I guess we know where you’re been the last few days! On the beach!

Todd: Well, not exactly! Andy. There’s so much to see and do here. By the way, this city also has a strong African influence: you can see it in the music, food, and dance styles of the region. Andy: Mm-hmm. What do people like to do there?

Todd: many people enjoy watching a special kind of dance that’s a mixture of dancing and fighting with an African origin. For those of you who enjoy nightlife, this city can’t be beat. It has several different street festivals during the year, each one like a mini-carnival of its own.

Andy: Great! Thanks a lot, Todd. Well, that certainly has given our listeners plenty to think about, but I’m sorry to say we’re out of time. That’s it, folks. This is Andy Wong reminding you to tune in tomorrow for the next installment of our travel show,” where in the World…?” Goodnight,


everybody!

Interviewer: Hi, guys! Jose and Vicki: Hi.

Interviewer: Thanks for agreeing to meet me here on such short notice. Jose: No problem.

Interviewer: Well. Listen, as I said to you on the phone, I’m doing a story for the campus newspaper. I’m interviewing foreign students to get their impressions of our city. Um, this should only take about ten minutes or so. Let’s see…Uh, do you mind if I tape-record our interview? Vicki: Oh no, not at all.

Interviewer: OK, then. Jose, why don’t we start with you. What do you think of San Francisco? How do you like it here so far? Jose: It’s OK! I guess.

Interviewer: Oh, you don’t sound very enthusiastic.

Jose: No, no. I like it. It’s just that I’ve been so busy studying. I haven’t had much time to explore the city.

Interviewer: Oh. That’s too bad.

Jose: Yeah. And when I have the time, well, it’s so cloudy and foggy here- especially in the summer. I never thought I’d be wearing a sweater in July!

Interviewer: Well, this is Northern California. Hey, maybe you should move south. I hear Los Angeles is warmer. Vicki?

Vicki: Oh, I love it here. I think this is a beautiful city. The rolling hills, the views of the bay- it’s very romantic.

Interviewer: Yeah. So how do you guys spend your free time?

Jose: Well, I’m studying architecture and am somewhat of a photographer…… Interviewer: Really?

Jose: Oh, I’m just an amateur. Anyway, I …I’m always taking pictures of the building in this city. You know, the Victorians, the modern skyscrapers downtown, MOMA …… Interviewer: MOMA. You mean , the Museum of Modern Art?

Jose: Right. There’s such a variety of buildings in this city. The architecture is really great. I also have taken pictures of other structures, like the Golden Gate Bridge- it looks totally different when the weather changes.

Interviewer: Wow! That’s interesting. Ah, well, Vicki, it’s your turn. What do you like to do?

Vicki: I like to explore the different neighborhoods. Yesterday I went to the Italian neighborhood, North Beach, to buy some pastries and have a cup of espresso. Today I’m going down to the Mission District to get a burrito for lunch. Interviewer: Hey, sounds like you like to eat!

Vicki: Yes. Actually, I like the Mission a lot. It’s a Hispanic neighborhood. We don’t have anything like that where I come from.

Interviewer: Uh, well, that’s about it. Any final comments? Jose: No, not really.

Vicki:I just like to say that this is the great place to live，It’s small after get around easy but big enough to offer all the advantages of large cities，I’m glad I got the chance to study here




Lindsay: So, Eric, how long have you lived in New York?

Eric: All my life. I was born here. Sounds like you’re new in town. Lindsay: Two months. I just moved here from Michigan,

Eric: Wow! That’s a big change. New York must be quite a shock.

Lindsay: Well, not exactly. I lived here once before, when I went to graduate school. So, I …I guess you could say that I’m used to life in new York , if that’s possible. Eric: when did you live here?

Lindsay: Oh, let’s see, …it must have been about eight years ago. Boy, the city sure has changed since then.

Eric: I supposed so. I mean, they’re really cleaned up Times Square. It used to be so dirty. I mean, now it’s just full of tourists.

Lindsay: Yeah. And the subways seem to run more on schedule now.\

Eric: Basically, I think the city is safer anywhere you go, probably because we have so many more police officers on the street.

Lindsay: Oh, that’s for sure! You know, though, one thing I can’t get used to is the noise- especially those garbage trucks! They come at five in the morning and are so loud. The noise wakes me up every time!

Eric: I guess I’ve lived here so long I don’t hear it anymore. I can sleep through just about anything. You know the one thing I am tired of – the weather. I mean, I’m not sick and tired of these long, cold winters. I’m thinking about moving next year. Lindsay: Really?

Eric: Yeah. I mean, like I said, I’ve live here all my life, and I feel like I need some kind of change. You know, a new environment . it time to get out of New York.

Lindsay: Hmm. Not me! I love the nightlife: the theater and the great restaurants. I can’t wait to get out and discover all that New York is offering!
