Ever since the day I (1)(decide) to move to London, I (2)(worry) whether the decision I (3)(take) was the right one. As I (4)(already sell) my house and (5)(arrange) а new job, it is too late to change my mind. However, since then I (6)(hear) а lot of negative things about living in the capital, and lately some of them (7)(begin) to bother me. I (8)(grow up) in а fairly small town and I (9)(spend) all of my life there. I (10)(always want) to live in а big city and so when my company (11)(offer) me а job in their London office, I (12)(grab) at the chance. But according to а programme I (13)(just hear) on the radio, more and more реор1е (14)(stop) working in London recently, and а lot of large companies (15)(choose) to move away from the centre. Of course I (16)(tell) my parents that I’m moving and they (17)(accept) my decision, but when I (18)(tell) my friends they (19)(seem) rather shocked. Since then I (20)(hope) secretly that the company would tell me that the move was off!

1: How long has Tom lived in Brighton?
c.3 years
(Let me see. I’ve worked here for four years now, but for one year, I commuted into Brighton by train. But after that, I got a room in a shared house in Brighton, and I lived there for a year before I got my own flat here two years ago.)
2: How long has he lived in his flat?
b.2 years
(Let me see. I’ve worked here for four years now, but for one year, I commuted into Brighton by train. But after that, I got a room in a shared house in Brighton, and I lived there for a year, before I got my own flat here two years ago.)
3: What does he like about the city?
b.the events
(Lots of people like Brighton because it’s on the coast, but I grew up by the sea so that’s nothing special for me. There’s always plenty going on though. Festivals, shows, sports events. I like that. My friends say the nightlife is good too, but I don’t go out to bars much, so I wouldn’t know.)
4: What does he dislike about the city?
a.the crime
(My things are always getting stolen! two bikes, a bag, two phones. And recently I read about someone who was attacked just after getting off the bus stop outside my flat! It’s a shame, because most people are really friendly and care about the city. It used to be a really dirty place, but volunteers do a great job cleaning it up.)
5: How does he get around the city now?
b.bus and skateboard
(Well I used to cycle everywhere, but since my last bike was taken 18 months ago, I’ve used a skateboard instead. I can carry it into shops with me, or into the office. If I need to, I can take it on the bus. I don’t drive. None of my friends do, because it’s so hard to find places to park a car.)
6: Which is his favourite place to eat out?
c.a café by the sea
(Well, there are lots of great restaurants in the city, but I think my favourite place to eat out is a little café. It is on the edge of town, three of four miles from the city centre. It’s on the beach, on the other side of the harbour. I go there in the mornings before work for a coffee and a bacon roll. It’s a great start to the day before I go to the office.)
