Alice lives in a small town near Porto; her cousin Beatrice lives in the centre of the city.
Alice: My friend João lives very near here, but his brother lives (1)
somewhere/nowhere in London.
Beatrice: Wow. I think I’d feel lonely in London. My mum’s English, but I don’t
know (2) no one/anyone there. (3) Somebody/Nobody likes to feel
lonely; here I meet my friends (4) wherever/whenever I go. You know
what they say: ‘Porto is a village!’
Alice: Yeah, but one problem is that when (5) nothing/something happens,
(6) everybody/somebody knows about it really fast! You can’t keep
things secret from (7) anybody/nobody.
Beatrice: That’s the same (8) nowhere/anywhere you live: town or country,
London or Lisbon! (9) Everybody/Nobody is safe from nosey
neighbours and their gossip.
Alice: Too true. What about you, Beatrice? Is there (10) nothing/anything you
don’t like about where you live?
Beatrice: Not really. There’s (11) something/nothing I can say I really hate or
really love. I think most cities are almost the same these days.
