Read the dialogue below.
Omir: What do you think about living in a big city?
Ana: I like it so much more than living in the countryside.
Omir: Oh? Can you give me some reasons why?
Ana: It is undoubtedly more appealing in the city than in the country. There's still so much to see and do!
Omir: Yes, but the city is more dangerous than the country.
Ana: That’s true. People in the city aren’t as open and friendly as those in the countryside, and the streets aren’t as safe.
Omir: I’m sure that the country is more relaxed, too!
Ana: Yes, the city is busier than the country. However, the country feels much slower than the city.
Omir: I think that is a good thing!
Ana: Oh, I don’t. The country is boring! Being in the country is much duller than being in the city.
Omir: How about the cost of living? Is the countryside cheaper than the city?
Ana: Oh, yes, Living in the city is more expensive than in the country.
Omir: Life in the country is also much cleaner than in the city.
Ana: Yes, it is cleaner and less dangerous in the countryside. But, the city is so much more exciting. It’s faster, more modern, and fun.
Omir: I think you like moving to the city.
Ana: Well, I’m still young now. Maybe when I get married and have children I will move back to the countryside.
