Telephone conversation between two friends, one in the city and one in the country
David: How do you like living in the big city?
Maria: There are many things that are better than living in the country.
David: Can you give me some examples?
Maria: Well, it’s certainly more interesting than the in country. There is so much more to do and see!
David: Yes, but the city is more dangerous than the country.
Maria: That’s true. People in the city aren’t as open and friendly as those in the countryside.
David: I’m sure that the country is more relaxed, too!
Maria: Yes, the city is busier than the country. However, the country is much slower than the city.
David: I think that’s a good thing!
Maria: Oh, I don’t. The country is so slow and boring! It’s much more boring than the city.
David: How about the cost of living? Is the country cheaper than the city?
Maria: Oh, yes. The city is much more expensive than the country.
David: Life in the country is also much healthier than in the city.
Maria: Yes, it’s cleaner and less dangerous in the country. But, the city is so much more exciting. It’s faster, crazier and more fun than the country.
David: I think YOU are crazy for moving to the city.
Maria: Well, I’m young now. Maybe when I’m married and have children I’ll move back to the country.
