Practice the dialogues and note down how different people speak about their hometowns.
So, tell me about your hometown, Joyce.
Well, it’s a real small town …
Really? What’s it like?
Oh, I think it’s a very boring place.
Why?
Well, there’s nothing exciting to do. No good restaurants. No night life of any kind. I really get bored there.
Oh, that’s too bad.
Yeah, but lots of people like it there because it’s so pretty.
Yeah?
It has lovely scenery – lots of mountains, rivers, lakes, trees …
Well, I don’t know, Joyce, it sounds like a nice place.
Well, yeah, if you like to go hunting in the summer and skiing in the winter. But, you know, I’m not the outdoor type! I’m a real city person!

Have you come from a big city, Lou?
Oh, yes. It’s pretty big.
What’s it like there?
Oh, it’s a really great place. It has some fantastic art museums, and wonderful theatres, and terrific restaurants of all kinds.
Ah … really? And how are the prices? Is it expensive?
Yeah, I guess so. Food costs a lot both in the supermarkets and in restaurants. And apartments! They are so hard to find and the rents are pretty high.
Yeah, I guess it’s expensive everywhere these days.

Hey, Nick. Are you going home for the holidays?
No way!
Oh, why not?
I don’t like my hometown. Too many people, too many buildings, too many factories. It’s big and it’s ugly! I like places that are small and quiet. Like here!
Is it really as bad as that?
I’ve told you, Mike. In fact, it’s a new industrial city with a few sleeping areas, with no interesting places to go.
In pairs talk about your hometown. Ask your partner:
what his hometown is like; what things he likes/doesn’t like
if it is an interesting place; if it is safe, etc.
if there are any shops, restaurants, theatres, museums, etc.
