8. Practice with
the following
conversation
• David: How do you like living in a big city?
• Maria: I like it so much more than living in the country.
There are many things that make it better.
• David: Oh, really? Can you give me some examples?
• Maria: Well, it certainly is more interesting out in the
city than it is in the 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, and the
streets aren't as safe.
• David: I'm sure that the country is more relaxed, too!
• Maria: Yes, the city is busier than the country.
However, the country feels much slower than the city.
• David: I think that's a good thing!
9. • Maria: Oh, I don't. The country is so boring! Being in
the country is much more boring than being in the city.
• David: How about the cost of living? Is the country
cheaper than the city?
• Maria: Oh, yes. Living in the city is more expensive than
in 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.
• 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.
