TASK 2. Listen to a conversation between two friends. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F). Circle T or F.
Todd: Mike, I want to go to Canada for vacation. What would you recommend?
Mike: Well, it really depends on the kind of holiday that you want. If you want to have a relaxing outdoors, back to nature, I'd recommend Vancouver. If you want experience, a different type of culture, Montreal. And if you want to go to a big multi-cultural city with a lot of nightlife and things to do with respect to entertainment, or sports, then Toronto.
Todd: So, have you been to all three cities?
Mike: Yes. I actually have lived most of my life in Toronto and in Montreal but I have spent some time in Vancouver as well, so, all three are very different in attitude and lifestyle and in the way people live.
Todd: How so? How is somebody from Toronto different than somebody from Vancouver?
Mike: Well, somebody from Toronto is a little bit more high paced, just because the pace of life in Toronto is a little bit faster. Vancouver is a lot more relaxed, easy-going. And Montreal has a strong French-Canadian influence, so in fact, it's mostly French-Canadian.
