[00:11.28]Exercise 1.2
[00:13.60]Welcome back to the show.
[00:15.42]Today we're talking with two teenagers¹
[00:18.59]about two very different cities,
[00:21.33]London and Los Angeles.
[00:23.82]Let's start with you, Mandy.
[00:25.78]What's you opinion² of London?
[00:28.37]Well, London is a very old city
[00:31.84]so it's more traditional³.
[00:33.61]I think it's a more interesting place-
[00:36.82]I mean,historically.
[00:39.03]It has a larger population⁴
[00:41.81]but I think London is quieter and more relaxing⁵
[00:45.87]than Los Angeles.
[00:47.54]Do you agree⁶, Gary?
[00:49.39]Yes. Los Angeles is a newer city.
[00:52.95]It's modern⁷ and I think
[00:54.34]it has a lot of good things to offer--
[00:57.79]expecially for young people.
[00:59.71]I agree with Gary.
[01:01.61]Los Angeles is more interesting
[01:03.88]and more popular⁸ with teenagers.
[01:06.74]And I think it's a better place for sports-
[01:09.79]-either playing sports or watching them.
[01:16.96]Exercise 1.4
[01:19.37]Work it out
[01:21.22]London is older than Los Angeles.
[01:24.47]I think Los Angeles is more interesting than
[01:27.84]London.
[01:29.20]Los Angeles is more modern than London.
[01:33.09]The population of London is larger
[01:36.07]than the population of Los Angeles.
