using one, two, three or four words. (10 marks)

Lisa My favourite place is Brighton. It’s a small
city – it’s smaller than London – but there are a lot
of exciting places for young people. A lot of students
live in the city. It’s very friendly. There’s a nice
beach, too, and it’s only five minutes on foot from
the city centre.
Bob Glasgow, in Scotland, is my favourite place.
Edinburgh is prettier than Glasgow, and it’s more
popular with tourists, but I think Glasgow is more
interesting. There are some fantastic modern
buildings in Glasgow. There aren’t any beaches, but
there are some nice parks.
Karen Cardiff is my favourite city. It’s the capital city
of Wales. There’s a beautiful castle in the city
centre. Parts of the castle are more than 800 years
old! Cardiff is a great place for music – some great
bands come from Cardiff. There are a lot of good
theatres there, too.
