READING

7 Read the texts and choose the correct answers. Sometimes there is more than one correct answer.

Toby
My favourite place is Hong Kong. I love it. It’s so beautiful – it’s on the sea, with mountains all around and it’s full of shops and high buildings. Hong Kong never sleeps – it’s always busy and always crowded. Some people don’t like that but I do. It means you can always do things and meet people. And at weekends you can go to the mountains and visit the country parks or the beaches on the small islands. Hong Kong is great – a big, fast city and lovely, quiet country … but it’s very, very hot. / Mitra
The place I like most is New Zealand – it really is beautiful. It’s very green, has lots of mountains and snow and beaches, and the weather is good too. The people are friendly and the country isn’t crowded. That’s what I like – lots of big, empty spaces. You can eat well in New Zealand too – lots of fish and meat. And there’s so much to do there. You can go sailing, walking, skiing, surfing, swimming – all in one day if you want! And the wild animals are fantastic, especially the sea animals like the whales.
Anys
My favourite place? I don’t know. I like lots of things in lots of places. There are the waterfalls in Zimbabwe – Victoria Falls. They’re really spectacular. Then I love the Taj Mahal in India because it’s so beautiful and so romantic. I like Bangkok too because I love shopping in all its markets and it’s a big, busy city, and I love eating there too. Thai food is so good. And Egypt with all its fabulous monuments. No, I don’t have a favourite place. I want to travel until I’ve seen all the countries in the world! / Nicholas
I know the place that I like best – it’s where I live. It isn’t beautiful, it isn’t exciting, there aren’t lots of things to do, there aren’t lots of monuments to look at, but I know it and I know lots of the people. I know where I can go to meet my friends, where the best shops are, what time the cinema starts, where all my friends live. This is very boring, I know, but that’s fine. The place I like best is my home town. I like travelling but I always want to come back here.
