4 William’s kitchen D has a big window. France. Today, we are in Eze, a beautiful town near the sea.

5 Isabelle’s dining room E is cold. It was very easy to travel here because it is a bus ride away
from the city. It takes just half an hour. You can also go by
/5 car, but there is only one small car park, and it is very busy.

3 [Audio PT2.02] Listen to three people talk about
where they live. Complete the sentences with words
from the audio. Write one word for each answer.
1 There is one ________ in Robert’s town.
2 In the past, Robert’s town was very ________.
3 In Cecilia’s town, there was only one ________ every
week.
4 Cecilia’s school was in the ________.
5 Harry’s old ________ is now a shopping centre.
/10
The town is a great place to visit. There are lots of shops and
places to eat, but it is very expensive, too. A coffee is five
euros! There are also lots of old houses that are very beautiful.
You cannot drive in the town centre. You can walk around the
town and see the houses, but the town is on a hill. I love
walking around the town, but my friend Taylor doesn’t like it
because he feels tired.
There aren’t many hotels in the town. There are more hotels 5
kilometres away. The hotels in Eze cost a lot of money so we
aren’t staying in the town. We’re staying in a nice big hotel
and it’s not very far from the town. We have a room with three
beds and a bathroom.
You should come here and visit. At the moment, the weather is
very rainy because it is winter. It is better to come in spring or
summer. There is a famous garden here and you can see all the
flowers in spring and summer. I want to go to the garden, but
it is winter now so it is not open. Maybe we can go another
day. Many people come here from the city in the summer
because the town looks so beautiful then. It is a great place to
spend a weekend.

See you soon,

Chris

My name is Ruth and I have got a bookshop. I love my

I always arrive at the bookshop early, at 8.30 a.m. I open the

first. He goes at 12.30 p.m. When he comes back, after an
hour, I go for my lunch. I often have lunch with my husband
because he works near the shop. He works at the bank. We

from home in the evenings. I look for new books to buy.
E
People can pay by cash or card in the shop. I think most
people pay by card. That’s good for me. I think it is easier to
pay by card. I really enjoy speaking to the customers about

read a lot, too!
