► Listen to the dialogue

• CARRIE - How was your vacation?
• ANDREA - It was great.
• CARRIE - Where did you go?
• ANDREA - I went to California. I visited Los Angeles and San Diego.
• CARRIE - Which did you like better?
• ANDREA - Well, I liked both cities but for different reasons. San Diego is smaller than Los Angeles. Los Angeles is huge! I also think San Diego's prettier. The coast is beautiful and they have a beautiful park in the middle of the city called Balboa Park. The air is much cleaner in San Diego than in Los Angeles.
• CARRIE - Sounds great!
• ANDREA - I think Los Angeles was more exciting than San Diego. It was exciting to see Hollywood. I even saw a few stars.
• CARRIE - How was the weather?
• ANDREA - It was fantastic. It's a little bit warmer in Los Angeles than in San Diego but both cities had great weather.
• CARRIE - It's really cold here. I wish I could be in California right now!
