A: How do you find restaurants?

B: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to the people at the street market or take a walk and look for place for myself. I never

asked hotel clerks or taxi drivers. I don’t go either restaurants or places with menus too difficult to understand. 10.

At the beginning of the tour, we all started the most important place at my town which is the Plaza Leon. The Plaza Leon is more than 100 years old. It’s a gathering place for young people on Friday and Saturday nights, and for parents and children on Sunday afternoon. Four streets lead to the Plaza which have white sidewalks and tree lined. Hemandes Street which was named after writers born in the city contains all of the food stalls fish markets and vegetable stands. Femando Street which was named after a famous educator is where all of the government offices, shops and houses. Via del Mar Street which is the only street which has old stone surfaces. Finally we came to the Hewish’s Street on which there are two universities, one of which is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it’s my favorite street of all.

Text 10

M: Well, I'd love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. Igrew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced thegood and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I waswrong. After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again. Surelysmall towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town,you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can't get around without one becausethere isn't any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensiveparking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving.So, if you don't have a car, you'd better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. Ican always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things arenot common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet differentkinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I thinkthat living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course,safety should be considered, and that's one area where small towns are better than big cities.Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.
