Read the text about an American student who is studying in London. Choose the correct statement. Today, on Student Radio Live, we ask overseas student, Emma Jones, how she likes living in London. A: Emma, you’re from New York and you’re in London studying Geography at London University. Tell us what you think of London. B: Oh, I love London! It’s such an exciting city, and the shopping is great. Although I think the shops are much more expensive than in New York. I also love all the historic buildings. New York is full of ugly, modern buildings, so London is much more beautiful. The nightlife in London is really good, too. People say London’s nightlife is not as good as New York’s, but I disagree. I think London’s is just as exciting. A: Do you think London is a nice city to explore on foot? B: Yes, very nice. I actually do a lot of walking around the streets of London. I often get lost, though, because the street signs aren’t very good. But people are very helpful. They always take the time to stop and redirect me. The drivers are a different matter. In London they’re just like the drivers in New York – they don’t stop for pedestrians! A: And what’s your opinion of Londoners? Do you find them friendly? B: Londoners are very friendly, yes. But so are the people in New York – so there’s not a big difference there. Londoners are more polite than New Yorkers though. And they aren’t in as much of a hurry! They always wait their turn at the bank or post office, for example. Londoners also respect rules and obey signs in public places more than New Yorkers. A: What do you think of the transport in London? B: Well, I really like the Underground. I know people complain that it’s slow and say the tickets are expensive, but I disagree. London buses are good, too. They’re clean and modern. But I don’t use them much because the journeys take such a long time. I prefer the taxi drivers here to the ones in New York. They aren’t as rude, and they always know where they are going! A: Do you like the housing in London? B: Yes. The flats aren’t as modern as the ones in New York, but they are much bigger and I really like that. Neighbours seem to be more relaxed in London, too. When I am in New York, my neighbours always complain about my loud music. But people in flats here seem to be much more relaxed about noise. 1. Compared to New York, Emma says London has . 2.
