The City of the Second Chance
L. 4. Listen and say:
What does Steve Harvey, Staff Writer for ‘Los Angeles Times’, consider on the roots of LA’s bizarre?
L. 5. Support or challenge the following statements:
- The presence of the film industry is a recurrent theme in LA.
- In such sprawling, automobile-oriented place as Los Angeles, the visitor doesn’t have to look quite hard for strange street behaviour.
- Hollywood is home to some decidedly eccentric stories.
- Melrose is not the only place to go if you’re looking for weirdoes.
- Not all of Los Angeles’s eccentricity is a leftover of the 1960s hippie culture.
- Beverly Hills is the wealthy city-state, where dogs play an important role in the life of the community.
- The desire to elevate one’s dog to human status is seen as a consequence of both loneliness and affluence.
