1) A: How was your trip? B: Great. Really amazing. Have you ever been there? A: No. What’s it like? B: It’s really wild. It took me by surprise, actually. I just thought it’d be quieter, but the nightlife is ____. A: Really? B: Honestly. We went out with these people and ended up in a place at about four in the morning and it was ____. A: Yeah? B: Seriously. You literally couldn’t move. B: Actually, that was a bit of a pain, the congestion. A: Really? Is it bad? B: Unbelievable! You’d be quicker walking, really. A: So did you? B: No, it’s ____, so at least the car has air con. Honestly, you walk out of your hotel and ____. A: There must be a fair amount of pollution, then. B: That as well. The smog is incredible. A: Sounds pretty awful. Are you sure it’s so great? B: Well, you know, it does have its drawbacks but, as I say, it just has a real buzz – especially downtown with the skyscrapers and the neon lights flashing and the people and the noise. It’s just ____ place. 2) C: What’s your home town like? It’s supposed to be nice, isn’t it? D: It is, if you like that sort of place. C: What do you mean? D: It’s just very conservative. You know, it’s very ____ – you see ____ ____ in fur coats and posh cars, and the streets are spotless, but it’s also just incredibly dull. There’s not much going on. C: Right. D: I know it’s a bit more run-down here, but at least it’s more lively. There’s more of a music scene, you know. C: Yeah, I know what you mean. So you wouldn’t consider going back to live there? D: Maybe. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it is a good place to live if you’re bringing up kids – everything works very smoothly and, as I say, there’s not a trace of litter on the streets. So if I were to settle down, I might move back. It’s just not what I want right now. C: Fair enough.
