　　W: You know, Paul, I really like my old community. But I’ve got a new job far away from there. So I have to move here.

　　M: It’ll be OK. You’ll find a nicer place here.

　　W: I’m not sure. This is a great place to live. It’s got a lot of good shops, and the people are very friendly. It’s got some excellent cafes, too.

　　M: Any good restaurant?

　　W: There is a restaurant, but it’s terrible. I never eat there. The best thing is the sports center near my flat.

　　M: Oh, I didn’t know you like sports.

　　W: yeah. I play table tennis there. One bad thing is all the cars. Everybody uses the big car park next to the sports centre. So my roads have too many cars on them. Another problem is that there isn’t a cinema. It’s not a big problem because there are good buses, so I can go to the cinema in the city centre.

　　M: I’m sure you’ll find a good place. Take it easy.

　　Text 10

　　When you are invited to a meal in an American home, it will probably be informal. The dishes are usually served family style, so everyone passes the food to one another. Americans find silence uncomfortable, so you can expect a casual talk at the dinner table.

　　When you are invited, you can ask if you may bring something for the meal. If the hostess refuses, do not take a dish. That would be impolite. Giving a gift is usually expected in some countries and regarded as social nicety. You can take candy, flowers or a small gift from your country. But you don’t have to. Americans don’t expect you to bring anything.
