Dana: Excuse me, sorry to bother you. I'm doing a quick street interview for Radio Eight. Do you have a minute?
Jess: Sure, but it's pretty loud here. I might have to shout.
Dana: No problem. My question is simple: would you rather live in the city or in a small town?
Jess: Oh, the city, definitely. I grew up in a village, and honestly, I was bored out of my mind. Here there's always something going on, y'know? Concerts, markets, new restaurants.
Dana: And what about the noise?
Jess: You get used to it. I kinda like it, actually. It's better than silence.
Dana: Thanks, Jess. And you, sir? What do you think?
Graham: Well, I've lived in the city for thirty years, and I'm moving to the countryside next month.
Dana: Really? Why's that?
Graham: My commute takes an hour and a half each way. That's three hours on the bus every day!
Graham: I'd rather spend that time in my garden.
Jess: Three hours? I couldn't do that.
Graham: I dunno, I think I'm just ready for some peace and quiet. Mind you, I'll miss the theatre.
Dana: What about the cost of living? Is the city expensive?
Jess: Oh, it's really expensive. My rent is almost half of my salary. But I share an apartment with two friends, so it's okay.
Graham: The countryside will be cheaper, I think. But you can't live without a car there, so I'll have to buy one.
Dana: So, one vote for the city and one for the countryside. Thank you both, and enjoy the rest of your day.
Graham: Cheers!
