Let's practice
My hometown is really beautiful/interesting / lovely/…
It’s full of …
There’s… / Look at that building, it’s …
It has been around for / since …
around adv. 在某处；在附近
1. It’s been around for at least 20 years.
此处 around 作地点副词，表示“在附近；在某处”。
I told you. He’s not around.
【拓展延伸】around 作副词，还可意为“大约，左右；四周；掉头”；作介词，意为“在……附近；围绕；到处”等。
Language points
There are around one hundred students here. (adv. 大约)

She turned the car around and drove off. (adv. 掉头)
There is a new movie theater open around the corner. (prep. 在附近)
The discussion centered around four subjects. (prep. 围绕)
around 和 round 有何区别？
2.Even though it’s old, it’s full of interesting places to see and things to do.
1) even though和even if两者均可用于引导让步状语从句，其细微区别是：even if引导的从句往往是假设性的，相当于汉语的“即使”“纵然”“就算”“哪怕”。even though引导的从句内容往往是真实的，主要用于引出不利于主句情况的信息，相当于汉语的“尽管”“虽然”。 不过，在实际语言运用中，even if与even though有时也可不加区别地混用。
即使明天下雨，我们也决不改变计划。
Even if it rains tomorrow, we won’t change our plan.
他尽管经验最少，但教得最好。
He’s the best teacher even though he has the least experience.

Although/Though/Even though we all tried our best, we lost the game.
我们输了，虽然我们已尽了最大的努力。
We lost the game although/though/even though we tried our best.
2) although和(even) though均可用于句首或从句之首。though多用于非正式文体中，较为通俗。
3) be full of = be filled with 充满，装满
瓶子里装满了水。
The bottle is filled with water.
满屋浓烟。
The room is filled with heavy smoke.
香槟酒有很多气泡。
Champagne (香槟酒) is full of bubbles (气泡).
