Now I'm going to give you a topic for part two.
Describe a place you visited and really loved.
You have one minute to prepare. Here's some paper.
Thank you! Oh, this is a nice topic.
Okay, your minute is up. You can start now.
Um, okay. I'd like to talk about Kyoto, in Japan.
I went there with my best friend two years ago.
We stayed for five days in the middle of November.
And wow, the autumn colours were just amazing!
Every street had bright red and orange trees.
We even visited a temple at six in the morning!
It was so quiet that we could hear the birds.
Ha, my friend actually fell asleep on a bench!
The food was another reason I loved it.
I tried fresh tofu, noodles and green tea ice cream!
Oh, I was worried about the language at first.
But people were so patient and kind to us.
I was really sad when we had to leave.
I'd love to go back in spring for the cherry blossoms!
Thank you. Would you recommend Kyoto to other people?
Yes, definitely. But I'd avoid the busy weekends.
Oh? Why's that?
Ugh, some places get really crowded with tour groups.
Thank you. Can I take the paper back, please?
Sure, here you are!
