Vancouver is the third biggest city in Canada. It’s in the

transport, education, healthcare, and safety. This study
happens every year and Vancouver is usually number one.

I don’t feel frightened when I walk in Vancouver’s streets at

there’s crime in every big city, but compared to the USA, for

Well, a lot of people like the summer months when it’s light in
the evenings. I do too, but I prefer autumn when it’s still quite
warm and the leaves are a beautiful red and yellow colour. It gets
dark earlier, but I love sitting in front of the fire in the living
room and reading a book.

This train is so slow! I’m going to be late to meet my
friend.
Yes, it is slow, isn’t it? … Well, we’re lucky – we have
seats. A lot of people are standing.
Well, the trains are always busy at this time. People
are going home from work.
I’m not. I’m travelling to work.
But it’s a quarter past five …
Yes … I’m a nurse. I sometimes work in the day, but
this week I’m working in the evenings.
Do you enjoy your work?
Yes, I do, but I’m going to change jobs in a few months
because I want to travel. I’m studying to become an
English teacher and then I hope to go to Japan for a
year and teach English.
Really? I’ve been to Japan lots of times. I’m a flight
attendant. I work for an American airline. When I do
long flights, I stay in the country for a couple of days
before I fly home again.
How wonderful! … Do they serve food on this train?
Just snacks, I think.
I’m going to get a coffee. Would you like one?
No, thanks, but I’d like a packet of crisps. I’m really
hungry. I got on this train four hours ago and I haven’t
eaten anything.
Sure.
Thanks very much. That’s very kind.
That’s fine. I’ll be back in a few minutes.

I play football at the park every Sunday afternoon with friends,
which is fun. I cycle to and from work every day. I live about five
kilometres from work, so that’s a lot of cycling. And there’s a
gym at work, which is great and I use that once or twice a week.
So, I do quite a lot, really.
3
Not a lot. I got up quite late. I’m reading a great book at the
moment, so I read that in bed for a couple of hours before I got
up. In the afternoon, I took the bus into town and met some
friends for a coffee. The next day I did housework in the
morning and played tennis in the afternoon.
4
It depends. In the spring, summer and autumn, I cycle. It’s great,
because it’s cheap, it’s fast, and it’s really good exercise. But I
don’t like using my bike in winter when it’s very cold and windy,
so I usually get the bus then.
5
It’s called One Day In Winter. It’s about a murder in a haunted
house. A friend gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago. I’ve
read two or three novels by the same writer, but this one’s
definitely the most exciting.
