Speaker 1: My friend and I flew down here to the beach for spring break. Of course, we’re really exciting about swimming and partying, and meeting other college students. Our hotel is full of families and little kids, though! The restaurants are terrible –really crowded with kids, and noisy – and they’re really slow, too. The hotel should have one restaurant that’s just for adults, I think. Another problem is the service. The staff is too busy running activities for the little kids, so sometimes they don’t bring us new towels or clean the room. One good thing is the room. It’s really big and it has a great view of the beach. The price is great, too. I guess most college students don’t want to stay here, so the room rates are low. Speaker 2: I travel a lot for mu job-too much, I think. Sometimes I’m away from home for three weeks or more. It can be pretty lonely. That’s why I’m so happy about the hotel where I’m staying now. First of all, the restaurant serves light, healthy food that gives me a lot of energy for my work. Then there’s the staff. They’re very friendly t me. My only complaint is with the room. The bed is very hard, they should buy a softer mattress. Oh, and the rates are expensive, but the company pays for it, so I don’t mind.

Hey. I want to say that you must visit the city of Nur-Sultan, in the country of Kazakhstan. There are many parks in my city where you can walk wonderfully. There is even a botanical garden. There are many forests and fields outside the city and among them. Since Nur-Sultan is the capital of the country, its main attraction is Baiterek, it is tall, but boring inside, everyone is photographed at the stand with the handprint of the first president, but there are many shopping and entertainment centers. I live in Nur-Sultan and therefore I can help you if you come here. If you come to my city in the summer, then take light things with you, if in winter then a jacket and warm pants. The tradition here is horse racing.
