英语访谈对话 279 Going Home

 　　Adrienne: Hi, Doris. You look a little bit down. What's the matter?

　　Doris: Well, I'm leaving Japan and I'm going back to London, tomorrow.

　　Adrienne: Really!

　　Doris: Yeah.

　　Adrienne: How do you feel about that?

　　Doris: Well, I do feel a bit down because I am going to miss Japan after being² here for 9 months, in Japan. I am going to miss it so much, cause I've had a great time here.

　　Adrienne: Mm, so what are you going to miss about Japan?

　　Doris: Oh, I am going to miss the people, the food, the night life. Especially the nightlife.

　　Adrienne: What especially about the night life are you going to miss?

　　Doris: Well, I really like dancing. And I enjoy going out to night clubs and to restaurants and eating Japanese food also and I'm really going to miss that because it's very different to London.

　　Adrienne: How are the clubs different in Japan than in London?

　　Doris: Well, here there are many different clubs you can get into, for free, you don't have to pay, some of them. In London it's really expensive for drinks and an entry³ fee¹.

　　Adrienne: Always?

　　Doris: Yeah.

　　Adrienne: Ah, that is different.

　　Doris: But they do have the same pubs⁴, but if you wanted to go to a nightclub for example it would cost quite a lot of money.

　　Adrienne: And how do the prices of food and drinks compare?

　　Doris: Ah, well, I'd say in Japan drinks are cheaper than in London.
