Friend in Town

2. Read and Prepare - Read the introduction and prepare to hear the audio.

So you know your town like the back of your hand right? You can find anything at any hour of the day and you know you live in the coolest place in the world right? What do you do when you have a visitor? Where would you take someone who had never set foot in (insert your town here)?
What I like to do is get advice from other people so that I can get a better picture of what people are doing. Listen to Beth and Stephanie as they chat about things to do in their city.
