Final assessment (Scenario):

You are talking with your local professor and you want to say more about the city you are currently staying in: how it looks, what your weekly schedule is and what you do in your free time. Be sure to also include where you like to go during your free time. In general, you might be asked to say something about where people go in the city, what they do, what cultural activities you like to do, and where you go. Also consider the following questions. What local band do you like, what is your favorite singer, what is your favorite song that you discovered in the area? Finally, compare the city you are visiting with the city you are from.
