Roleplay

Person 1: How long have you been living there?

Person 2: Oh, for over ten years.

Person 1: And have you noticed any changes during that time?

Person 2: Oh, yes. Quite a few. This is a much nicer place to live now than it used to be. It’s much greener. When I first moved here, there weren’t many trees around. But, over the last few years, the city has planted trees everywhere. It’s made such a difference!!

Roleplay

Person 1: How do you like living here?

Person 2: Well, it’s a great city, but you really need a car here. Otherwise, you can’t go anywhere. There used to be a good bus system, but there isn’t anymore.

Person 1: Why is that?

Person 2: Oh, I think they expect everyone to have a car, so they don’t bother to provide decent bus service. It’s getting worse and worse. These days you have to wait for hours for a bus and when one finally shows up, it’s usually full!!

the pyramids

The Pyramids were built more than four thousand years ago by the Egyptians. The most famous ones are on the west bank of the River Nile, outside of Cairo. They served as burial places for the Egyptian kings. After a king’s death, his body was turned into what is called a mummy. This preserved it. The king’s mummy was placed inside the pyramid together with treasures and the king’s belongings.
