Listen to two people talking about their lives. Practise what they say.

a)My father’s job involves travelling. We have to move quite often. We’ve lived in five different places in the last seven years. I love it. I’ve got friends I xcan visit in all five places. But my mother hates moving. She hates leaving her friends. She says she leaves part of herself behind, every time she moves.

b) I work in an office in the capital, but I live in a village. Well, just outside the village, in fact. In an old farmhouse. I grow flowers and vegetables. I like the fresh air, and the people are very friendly. I love the country. But the travelling is difficult. The traffic is awful. I often leave home before seven, and don’t arrive at the office till half past eight.
