Budapest For many centuries, Budapest was two cities, with Buda on the west side of the river Danube and Pest on the east side. Budapest became one city in 1872, and it has been the capital city of Hungary for about eighty years.

The population(人口) of Budapest is about three million, and the city is a very popular place for tourists. Visitors like to take boat rides along the Danube. Budapest is also known for its exciting nightlife. The best time to visit is summer since Budapest is very cold in winter.

Los Angeles Los Angeles was founded in 1781. With 3.5 million people it is now the biggest city in California and the second largest city in the United States. It is famous for its modern highways, its movie stars, and its smog. When the city is really smoggy, you can’t see the near-by Mountains. The weather is usually dry and warm.

Hi, I’m Tina. I’m an office worker in a downtown(城區(qū)市中心) office. I live on a small island, so I take a boat from the island（島）to the city every day. The boat leaves every 20 minutes and it takes about 35 minutes to get to the city. Then I have a short walk to my office. Sometimes when the weather is bad, I can’t get to work on time by boat.

My name is Sarah and I’m a teacher. I take the train to work every day. The train is quick and cheap, and there are hardly any delays(延遲). The trains run every half an hour and run until 00:30. The train station is near my home. It only takes 20 minutes from my home to school.

Hello, I’m Maria and I’m a college student(大學(xué)生). I live in the college. The college is very big, so I usually walk a lot. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to get from one building（樓房）to the next. When I want to shop with my friends outside the college, we take a bus. The buses stop running after 10:00 pm. So if we come back after that time, we have to take a taxi.
