4 LISTENING: It’s better here than …

A. Listen and Read Along. Listen to Todd and Rapheal talking about Paris compare to Tokyo.

Todd : OK, Raphael, you were saying you lived in Paris.
Rapheal : Yes, I made my studies there.
Todd : Paris is just an amazing city. Can you talk about
Paris?
Rapheal : Yes! Well, the biggest difference I noticed with
Tokyo is the size. Like Paris is nice in that way,
you can go anywhere by walking. It might take
at maximum an hour and a half if you want to
go to a very far place, but basically it's a city like
made for walkers and you can really go
anywhere just by walking, I mean it's quite
pleasant cause you can see many, you know,
nice buildings and places and things, just by
walking. Source: www.elllo.org/english/0251/295-Raphael-City.htm
