1.         Lou     : So tell me about your hometown, Joyce?

  Joyce   : Well, it’s a real small town…

  Lou      : Really? What’s it like there?

  Joyce    : Oh, I think it’s a very boring place.

  Lou       : Why?

 Joyce     : Well, there’s nothing exciting to do. No good  restaurants. No nightlife of any kind. I      

              really get bored there.

 Lou        : Oh, that’s too bad.

 Joyce     : Yeah, but lots of people love it because it’s so pretty.

 Lou        : Yeah?

 Joyce     : Uh-huh. It has lovely scenery – lots of mountains, rivers, lakes, trees …

 Lou        : Well, I don’t know, Joyce. It sounds like a nice place!

 Joyce     : Well, yeah, if you like to go hiking in the summer and  skiing in the winter. But, you      know, I’m not the outdoor type! I’m a real city person.

2.   Nick   : Do you come from a big city, Lou?

  Lou    : Oh, yeah, I do. It’s pretty big.

  Nick   : What’s it like there?

  Lou    : Oh, it’s a really great place! It has some fantastic art  museums, and wonderful theaters, and terriic  restaurants  of  all kinds… like Greek, Russian, French, Thai, Japanese…

  Nick   : Oh…really? And how are the prices? Is it expensive?

  Lou    : Yeah, yeah, I guess so. Food costs a lot…both in the   supermarket and in restaurants. And apartments!  They’re so hard to ind…and the rents are pretty high

  Nick   : Yeah, I guess it’s expensive everywhere these days.

3.   Joyce   : Hey, Nick. Are you going home for the holiday?

  Nick    : No way!

  Joyce   : Oh, why not?

  Nick    : 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!

  Joyce   : Is your hometown as bad as that?

  Nick    : Yes, it’s pretty bad. It doesn’t have any good restaurants.

  Joyce   : No, c’mon! No interesting theatres or nightlife?

  Nick    : No, not really.

  Joyce   : It sounds like a terrible place.

  Nick    : Yeah, it really is.
