such when you are talking about something that is present, or about the place where you are. You need to use the phrases
like that or
like this. Forexample, if you are admiring someone's watch, you do not say 'I'd like such a watch'. You say '
I'd like a watch like that'. Similarly, you do not say about the town where you are living 'There's not much to do in such a town'. You say '
There's not much to do in a town like this'.
