W: So, how long have you lived in New York?
M: All my life. I was born hero. Sounds like you’re new in town.
W: Two months. I just moved here from Michigan. Sounds like you’re new in town.
M: Wow! That’s a big change. New York must be quite a shock.
W: Well, not exactly. I lived here once before, when I went to the graduate school. So, I guess you could say that I’m used to life in New York, if that’s possible.
M: When did you live hero?
W: Oh, let’s see.... it must have been about eight years ago. Boy, the city sure has changed since then.
M: I suppose so. I mean, they’ve really cleaned up Times Square. It used to be so dirty. I mean, now it’s just full of tourists.
W: Yeah. And the subways seem to run more on schedule now.
M: Basically, I think the city is safer anywhere you go, probably because we have so many more police officers on the street.
W: Oh, that’s for sure! You know, though, one thing I can’t get used to is the noise especially those garbage tracks! They come at five in the morning and are so loud. The noise wakes me up every time!
M: I guess I’ve lived hero so long I don’t hear it anymore. I can sleep through just about anything. You know the one thing I am tired of—the weather. I mean, I’m so sick and tired of these long, cold winters. I’m thinking aobut moving next year.
W: Really?
M: Yeah. I mean, like I said, I’ve lived hero all my life, and I feel like I need some kind of change. You know, a new environment. It’s time to get out of New York.
W: Hmm. Not me! I love the nightlife: the theater and the great restaurants. I can’t wait to get out to discover all that New York is offering!
