M: Hi, Nicole, I heard you’ve bought a house in the suburbs, how can you manage to get to work from such a faraway place?
W: The commuter trains leave or arrive regularly every morning and they just don’t look like the same human sardine tins as in the city.
M: But in a big city you can enjoy the "hustle and bustle" of life, the busy streets, the tall buildings, the crowds, the gleaming colored lights after dark...
W: Ken, admittedly, these are the very reasons that make me buy this house. You know, I was born in Ohio, I can’t stand being separated from the land for long. In the country, I feel so close to nature. I breathe fresh air and eat fresh fruit and vegetables. Can you enjoy the "rhythm of the seasons" in downtown?
M: Mmm, possibly you’re right. The city-dwellers almost lose touch with the land. Sometimes I’m hardly conscious of seasons from flowers and leaves around us. However in downtown there’re plenty of forms of entertainment, you can ease your pressure of work and life in cinemas, theatres, discos...
W: In those places with the roar of traffic, crowds and endless car jams? Come on, why not listen to the humorous country sounds of cows and goats? Why not enjoy a natural beauty? I think that’s the real peace and quiet needed after an exhausting day.
M: There’s something in that, I suppose. But I’m fond of making new friends, you know, then I have a vast population m choose from if living in the city. On the contrary, in the countryside, quite possibly I can’t meet more than twenty people in a whole day.
W: I know you’ve been always in the limelight since we stayed at university. However you’re living just in the suburbs not in a primitive society. Now more and more people have bought or plan to buy the house in the country, you can find quite a few friends around you. It’s like living in an extended family where you can relax and feel at home.
M: Sounds attractive! Maybe I should be one of your neighbors.
W: Welcome!
