things that can make living in a city enjoyable first talk to each other about how these things can help people to enjoy life in a city then decide which two things you think are the most important

big field and it's a lot of people is it baseball maybe yeah maybe it's baseball acting so okay hmm I would like that one because I love to go to a hopeful match and you know it's a lot of people and yeah yeah me too so but yeah it's enjoyable because you just have to sit and watch the people enjoy your time yeah yes and then we have this picture it's a lot of people sitting in a cafe at the

when I was little I did the same oh you have this in Poland yeah you don't everything all right now okay and this is so typical in the street people play music musicians yes yeah yeah nice but I knew this one um there's an easy walk in there in the woods I think you move the dog yes that's nice yeah so what would you prefer Jana mmm what do you think is important I think important is time with your dog just alone spend some time alone yeah and spend some time I take a fan yeah at the cafe my friends want to I think it's important for our city that you can have a place there you can just relax and I also think this one is important the sports yeah it's really good for your health and yeah nice so yeah which one do we end up with Nick affair of course of course the most important we think it's ticket failure yeah yeah thank you what are the disadvantages of living in a big city and you had I have a lot of pollution noise pollution and crowded people I think yeah and it's a lot of people I want to London this weekend and it was so much people you you're just walking in a line at the street it's yeah I don't like it it's a city never sleeps they say so it's true yeah at the same and when I went to bed at the hotel it was a lot of noise and I couldn't sleep yeah and why do you think some people choose to live in the centre of cities I think they are just lazy too they want everything close to their home hmmm near you maybe they love nightlife I don't know yeah maybe maybe they liked a busy the crowded mmm and yeah but I think I I would never could live in it really in the city center not not you know big city like London or something but maybe I could live in a big city in a way cuz they are not that big you know that's true yeah and Jonah what is special about your capital city they have one of the best shopping malls and it's a very creative city so a lot of art schools are there and yeah it's really nice and how about you yeah our capital is Oslo actually I've never been there so but I think I think it's it's a nice City maybe it's not a big just bonemeal million inhabitants it's not that big for a to be a capital so maybe it's a small city I don't know mm-hmm and some people say that living in a city can be very lonely what do you think mmm I think that's not true because yep yeah all your friends are near or close to your home and you can meet each other very easily in a cafe and yeah yeah yeah I agree with you I think it's more lonely to live on the countryside than in the city yeah I think so if you have half an hour to your nearest friend yeah and Camila would you prefer to live in a very modern city or an old one with lots of history and actually I would prefer to live an old one because I think it's so cozy and charming and yeah and you can just relax I like relaxing yeah I think in the modern city a lot of stress maybe and a lot of people what do you think I prefer in the old city I think yeah I like the old buildings and yeah Brighton it's like in Cambridge yeah it is yes I'd love for Cambridge I prefer a quick Cambridge to London because I mean yeah none is too big not too big and too yet mother and I like Little Pill Raven and is there a city you would like to visit in the future yeah I would like to go to bot here in England yeah because I heard that is a really beautiful city so I would like to see it mm
