Listen the following recording about three different countries.

I. Listen and complete the sentences.

1. The weather in England is often very cold.

2. In Mexico it’s much hotter.

3. Japanese food, this was probably the healthiest food.

II. Match column A with column B.

III.

Mexico has the coldest weather of the three countries.

Japan is the hottest of the three countries.
England has the healthiest and most delicious food of the three countries.

IV. Read the text and underline the countries mentioned and the
comparisons you find on it.

Now I live in England, but I’ve lived and worked in several countries. I think my
favourites were probably Japan and Mexico, mainly because of the food and
because of the weather. As you know, the weather in England is often very cold,
very grey and quite wet. In Mexico it’s much hotter, the skies were much bluer and
there was less rain there, so it was lovely. And that was most of the year even in
winter. Japan was lovely, also. It got more humid than Mexico in the summer and
colder than Mexico in the winter, but it was still very, very sunny there – sunnier
than in England.
The food … well, I know some people eat to live, but I don’t; I live to eat. I love my
food, so Japan and Mexico were both wonderful countries for me. I know the food
in Britain is maybe more varied than in other countries, because we’ve got so many
different types of cooking here, with all of our Indian restaurants, Chinese, Thai,
Italian… the list is endless. But Mexican food was definitely the spiciest food I’ve
had, so that even on fruit we often had chilli. Japanese food – this was probably
the healthiest food and the most delicious, and I became a bit of an addict to sushi
by the end of my time there.

Language in the countries … for me Spanish was easier – that’s the language of
Mexico – because I’d studied it at university before, and it’s more similar to English.
Japanese was extremely difficult – the most difficult language I’ve ever come
across. And the more I learned, the more difficult it seemed to get.

So, overall, choosing between Mexico, England and Japan, I think Mexico is my
favourite. It’s the most relaxed country, and the weather is beautiful. It’s the
sunniest and hottest country, and it has beautiful beaches. So if I chose, I’d live
there.

V. Answer the following questions according to the text.

1. What country has the bluer skies?

The country with the bluest skies is Mexico.
2. Which country has the spiciest food?
The country with the spiciest food is Mexico
3. Which language is easier?

4. Which language is the most difficult?

5. What’s her favorite country?
His favorite country is Mexico.
