unit 14   What was it like?
[00:04.99]2 What was your holiday like?
[00:11.34]Hello,Tom.Are you all right? I haven't seen you for a while.
[00:16.61]Yes,I'm fine.I was in the States all last week visiting a friend of mine.
[00:22.57]I thought I'd told you about it.
[00:26.02]No,I don't think so.SO whereabouts did you go?
[00:30.88]Most of the time I was in Boston where my friend lives,
[00:35.55]but I went up to New York for a couple of days.
[00:39.81]Right.So what was it like?
[00:43.57]It was great.New York was amazing.
[00:49.03]It's just such a lively place,
[00:53.19]there's a real mixture of people,and the food's great.
[00:58.46]Yes? What about Boston? What was that like?
[01:03.50]Oh,it's nice.It's quite an interesting place.
[01:09.07]I din't do much there-mainly just spent time with my friend-but it was good.
[01:16.51]I met a lot of his friends and they were really nice and friendly.
[01:21.76]Sounds great.I'm quite jealous 1.
[01:26.13]Have you ever been to the States?
[01:29.57]Yes,I went there about three ago,but I went to the West Coast.
[01:35.63]Listen to the second part of the conversation
[01:50.60]Oh right,whereabouts exactly?
[01:54.96]Well,we stayed for a week in San Francisco
[02:00.11]and then a week just travelling around California 2.
[02:04.66]It's such a big state;there are lots of things to do.
[02:09.62]Yes,I've never been to that part of America,but I'd really love to go.
[02:15.97]What's San Francisco like? It's supposed to be brilliant.
[02:20.83]It's great.It's really beautiful and it's very relaxed.
[02:26.49]Not like LA,which is just mad.
[02:30.86]We had a really good time there.
[02:34.70]The only disappointing thing
[02:38.25]was that it rained almost the whole time we were there.
[02:43.21]Really?I thought it was supposed to be realy good weather there.
[02:48.88]Yes,I think it is normally 3.
[02:52.41]We were just really unlucky.
[02:56.35]What a shame.
[02:59.41]5 Key word:have
[03:45.18]2 While you listen
[03:54.71]It's OK.I suppose.
[03:59.99]It's quite poor round there and it cna be a bit dangerous sometimes,
[04:05.13]if you walk home on your own late at night,
[04:08.97]but it's quite a busy area and ther's lots of shops
[04:13.94]and things like that round there,so it's good for shopping.
[04:18.30]Right.And what's the rent like?
[04:22.56]It's OK,actually.It's quite a cheap area to live in.I only pay about 60 a week.
[04:29.82]Wow,that's good.That's a lot less than I pay!
[04:35.49]It's delicious!It's one of the best places to eat in town.
[04:44.73]Every time I've been there it's been great.
[04:49.18]You should try it.I'm sure you'd like it.
[04:53.54]Really? Well,I think I might take one of my clients 4 there tomorrow evenig.
[04:59.39]I've got someone coming over from Germany on business
[05:03.86]and I want dto take her somewhere nice.
[05:07.51]Honestly,it'd be ideal 5.
[05:11.28]Wonderful!Really great...the food,the wine,everything!
[05:21.44]We had a really great time.The weather was nice,the people were nice.
[05:27.89]It was brilliant!
[05:31.05]It sonds lovely!And what was your hotel like?
[05:36.30]Oh,it was wonderful!It was a really old place,family-run,
[05:43.07]and they were so friendly and helpful.
[05:46.91]It was brilliant,it really was.
[05:50.85]Awful!It was really terrible-the acting,the story,everything!
[06:00.10]It was a waste of money,it really was!
[06:04.15]Save your money,and go and see somethig else instead.
[06:08.80]Was it really that bad?It stars Kevin Clint,doesn't it?
[06:14.44]What was he like in it?
[06:17.89]Don't ask!It's the worst I've ever seen him act.He was awful.
[06:23.76]Great!He's really funny.He's always making me laugh.
[06:33.01]He's very smart as well-he works 6 with computers,
[06:38.29]so he's really good with numbers and machines,and things like that.
[06:43.75]He sounds nice.Do you see him very often?
[06:48.61]Yes,quite often.He lives quite near where I work,
[06:53.36]so we have lunch together once or twice a month.
[06:57.72]OK,I suppose.It wasn't the best I've ever been to.
[07:07.78]It went on a bit too long,I think.
[07:11.83]I've heard that piece played much better elsewhere 7.
[07:16.56]Oh,really?It doesn't sound very good.What was the venue 8 like?
[07:22.62]I've heard the building is incredible 9.
[07:26.59]Oh yes.The place was amazing.It's really beautiful in there.
[07:32.15]It's just a shame the music wasn't as good.
[07:36.59]Brilliant!I'm really enjoying it.
[07:43.44]It's very practical,so we spend a lot of time making things,
[07:49.19]and looking at things and talking about them.
[07:53.57]It's really nice to be so active for a change.
[07:58.22]And what're the other students in the class like?
[08:03.19]They're all really nice-apart from this one strange English girl
[08:09.35]who never really talks to anyone,but most of them are lovely.
[08:14.68]What about the teacher? What's she like?
[08:19.72]It's he,actually.He's great.Really interesting,really good.
[08:25.89]It's nice.It's quite large,so there's plenty of space for the three of us.
[08:34.53]The kitchen's very modern,so that's good and the bedrooms are OK too.
[08:40.28]The bathroom is a bit samll,but it's OK.
[08:44.83]I've lived in much worse places before!
[08:49.06]Oh,it sounds lovely.What're your neighbours like?
[08:54.02]I'm not sure,actually.I've only seen them on the stairs.
[08:59.06]I haven't realy talked to them yet.They looked OK,though.
