LISTENING 1.25
Teacher Where shall we stay, then?
Student Nothing too expensive.
Teacher Pardon?
Student I’d prefer to stay somewhere cheap.
Teacher Well, there’s a nice little hotel in the Old Town. It’s quite cheap; about £60 a night. If that’s too expensive, there’s a cheaper hotel near the station.
Student Either suggestion is fine by me.
Teacher OK. Let’s stay at the hotel in the Old Town, then.
Student Fine. Where should we eat, do you think?
Teacher There are some good restaurants in the main square.
Student What kind of food do they serve?
Teacher Most of the restaurants here serve local food. But there’s an Indian restaurant, too.
Student Sorry, did you say ‘Indian restaurant’?
Teacher Yes, that’s right.
Student Oh, I’m not very keen on Indian food. Let’s eat local food.
Teacher OK.
Student I’d like to do some sightseeing. What do you fancy?
Teacher The fountain in the Old Town is very beautiful. It’s near the cathedral, which is also worth a visit.
Student That sounds like a great idea. What’s the best way to travel around?
Teacher Well, if we stay in the Old Town then we can walk everywhere. But perhaps we should go to other parts of the city.
Student We could always buy a travel card.
Teacher That’s a really good plan. I’d prefer to travel by bus or tram than to walk.
Student I agree.
