You are Todd

I am Megg

Meg: Hey Todd, what is your hometown?

Todd: My hometown is San Francisco.

Meg: Oh, nice. Is your town beautiful?

Todd: Yes. San Francisco is very beautiful. It has a nice view of the ocean.

Meg: Sounds nice. Is your town clean?

Todd: It's pretty clean. Sometimes, it's dirty. Some places are dirty, but usually, the city is clean.

Meg: Oh. Is San Francisco dangerous?

Todd: No, it's not too dangerous. Sometimes, we have crime, but it's safe.

Meg: Great. Is your town expensive?

Todd: Yes. San Francisco is very expensive. Everything is expensive. Food is expensive. Housing is expensive. Shopping is expensive. Everything.

Meg: Oh, really? Is San Francisco famous?

Todd: Yes. It's very famous. In America, it's famous for its bridge. We have the Golden Gate Bridge. It's the world's most famous bridge, I think.

Meg: I know that bridge. Is your town hot?

Todd: Never. San Francisco is never hot. It's never super cold, but it's never hot. It's always warm or cool.

Meg: Sounds great. Is San Francisco interesting?

Todd: I think so. It's a very interesting city. We have people from everywhere, and we have good food. We have nature nearby, and we have interesting buildings.

Meg: Wow. I'd like to go there.

Todd: Ooh, you should. What about your city? What's your city?

Meg: My city is Chicago.

Todd: Ooh, Chicago. Chicago. Is your city beautiful?

Meg: Yes. It's very beautiful, with lots of tall buildings and a big lake.

Todd: Ooh, nice. Is Chicago clean?

Meg: Some parts of Chicago are clean, and other parts are a little dirty.

Todd: How about dangerous? Is Chicago dangerous?

Meg: Similarly, some parts are dangerous and some parts are safe.

Todd: Yeah. San Francisco is the same. I think every American city is the same.

Meg: I think that's true.

Todd: Most places are safe, but some places are dangerous.

Meg: Right.

Todd: Is Chicago expensive?

Meg: Yes. Because it's such a big city, almost everything is expensive.

Todd: Oh.

Meg: Food, attractions, parking, entertainment, everything.

Todd: Sounds like San Francisco.

Meg: I think so, a little similar.

Todd: Is it hot?

Meg: It can be hot in the summer. Usually July or August, it gets hot sometimes.

Todd: Is it interesting?

Meg: Yes, of course. Chicago is very interesting. We have many museums, and things to do, and we also have nature. At the lake, you can go and enjoy a day on the beach.

Todd: Oh, nice.

Meg: Yeah.

Todd: Is Chicago by the ocean?

Meg: It's not by the ocean. It's by a really big lake called Lake Michigan. What about San Francisco? Is it by the ocean?

Todd: Yeah, San Francisco is on the ocean. It's on the Pacific Ocean.

Meg: Right.

Todd: o we have really nice beaches.

Meg: Do you like the beach?

Todd: I do, but the beaches in San Francisco are a little cold.

Meg: Oh.

Todd: In Los Angeles, they're warm, but Los Angeles is not interesting, and it's expensive, and it's not beautiful, so I don't like Los Angeles.

Meg: So we should stick with San Francisco.

Todd: Or Chicago.

Meg: Yeah.

Todd: Okay.
