7A.1 Places in a town
• Tayford is a really great place to live and lots of tourists visit the town
in the summer. There are lots of shops and there's a nice park in the
centre. There are two or three really nice hotels and some very nice
pubs and bars. There are also four or five very good restaurants. On
Saturdays and Sundays there's an interesting market, but there isn't a
market every day, only at the weekend. There are a lot of beautiful
buildings in Tayford – some of them are over 500 years old – but
there aren't any museums. There's also a small theatre, but there isn't
a cinema. There's a station with trains every hour to Oxford and to
London. There's also a bus station in Tayford, but there isn't an airport
near the town.

• Script
I love living in Oxford. It's a beautiful town and the people are really
friendly. It isn't very big but there are lots of things to do in the evening.
There are four cinemas here and lots of bars and clubs with different food
and music. In the centre of town there's a really good market and there are
some really nice pubs and cafés. They aren't very expensive, and my friends
and I often go there for lunch or a drink after work. It's also a great place to
go shopping for food. There are lots of students in Oxford, of course,
because it's a famous university town. Thousands of tourists come here
every year to see the university colleges. There are thirty-five different
colleges and they're very interesting to visit. I think Oxford is a very nice
place to live.
