Where I live

Where I live

Listen to Eddie and Lara talking about where they live, then do the exercises to help you understand.

Lara: My name’s Lara and I live in Switzerland, in a small village in the mountains. From my window, I have a great view – I can see lots of mountains with snow on the top. People come to my village in winter because it’s a really good place for skiing and snowboarding. I really love skiing, but I’m not very good at snowboarding. In the summer I go hiking and mountain biking. I love living here because there’s always something fun to do!

Eddie: I’m Eddie and I live in Mexico City – the capital of Mexico! It’s a really big city, and so many people live here. More than 20 million people live in and around Mexico City! The city is very bright and colourful – there are beautiful paintings, called murals, on the walls of lots of buildings. Many of them show the history of Mexico. Outside Mexico City, there’s an ancient place where people lived hundreds of years ago. It has two enormous pyramids – the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. I went there last year, and it was amazing!
