MAN: No, I have actually been there twice before.
WOMAN: I see. Now, what would you say was your favorite part about Melbourne?
MAN: Well, I did like seeing the 5 wildlife, and there are great 6 to see, but I have to say I was most 7 by the amazing weather.
WOMAN: Yeah, the weather there is amazing. Which of the sites 8 as part of our official tour did you see, and of those, which was your favorite?
MAN: First I saw the theatre, which was beautifully 9 . It was not nearly as cool as the Town Hall though – the building is a 10 part of Melbourne’s history. Definitely my favourite. I saw the aquarium too, but wasn’t too 11 .
