Lynne:<\/strong> Hi, Mark. How was Boston?<\/p>\n\n

Mark: <\/strong>Great! Their offices are amazing!<\/p>\n\n

Lynne:<\/strong> Yes, I know. They\u2019re on the ground&#32floor \/ *first&#32floor*<\/strong> of one of those ultra- modern buildings in&#32the&#32city&#32centre \/ *downtown*<\/strong>. You just walk straight in from the street into a majestic hall.<\/p>\n\n

Mark:<\/strong> And you can get there quickly from the airport. I just took the shuttle service to the central station and, from there, the *subway* \/ underground<\/strong> <\/strong>to the station just opposite the building. The single&#32ticket \/ *one-way&#32ticket*<\/strong> was very cheap.<\/p>\n\n

Lynne: <\/strong>Did you have a look at the floors and walls in the *restrooms* \/ toilets<\/strong>? They are all in white marble.<\/p>\n\n

Mark: <\/strong>Amazing! And a glass lift \/ *elevator*<\/strong> takes you to that beautiful roof garden at the top of the building.<\/p>\n\n

Lynne: <\/strong>But I didn\u2019t like the large *parking&#32lot* \/ car&#32park<\/strong> for the shopping mall behind the building, with all those lorries \/ *trucks*<\/strong> delivering goods all day and also the *gas&#32station* \/ petrol&#32station<\/strong> right next to it. And, depending on which way the wind was blowing, the noise from the motorway \/ *freeway*<\/strong> was sometimes horrible.<\/p>\n","taskDescription":"
