question:
M: Hi, Jane. Welcome back. How was the west coast? ,F: Terrific. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from the city for a while. ,M: What did you think of Los Angeles? ,F: It was alright. I liked it better than I thought I would. It's very clean and spacious and it's got a lot of trees. The problem is transportation. The bus service is terrible and of course, they don't have any subway, so it's a little difficult to get around. We had to rent a car.
(A) M: You were so disappointed by Los Angeles? I see. You find the West Coast trip terrible. (B) M: So you enjoyed the wonderful trip there, though you didn't like Los Angeles at all.
