B. Listen to a talk about ways to improve life
in the city. Then fill in the blanks with information you hear.
There are veral ways to improve life in my city. Our biggest problem is qq2010transportation we really need more ways to get around. I’d like to ride my bicycle to work, but there is too much traffic on the streets. We need safe places for bicycling and walking. Another problem is the parks. We have some nice parks, but we don’t take good care of them and they are often dirty. We need cleaner parks, where children cay play and adults can relax. One more problem is nightlife. There’s nothing to do in the evening! We should build a big theatre for plays and concerts.
