I grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a small pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much.

Speaker B

Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a small town, you have a town car to ensure a comfortable living. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It’s not free, but it’s often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time. Especially, if you don’t have a car, you are better off in the city.

Speaker C

I like the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy the challenge very much. Another pan of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available. There is a wide assortment of theatre, music and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones.

Speaker D

An important thing for me in a big city is the diversity of people. Our society is made up of people of different nations, races, religions, abilities and interests. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a small town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring. So, people who are so different doing so many things in their lives is really great in a big city. Sometimes, I just sit on a public bench and simply watch the variegated streams of citizens.

Speaker E

To begin with, the city is the symbol of human civilization and there are many facilities for living, recreation and health care. Therefore, living there is more convenient than living in the countryside. For example, we can find a plenty of malls around our neighborhood, where we can buy everyday necessities at a low price. Furthermore, people are more concerned about their health and safety than other things in their lives. In big cities, medical facilities and emergency services are more easily available than in the countryside.

Speaker F

Architecture is the urban landscape. If a person has an appreciation of architecture, a city can be visual excitement. A modern metropolis is a mountain range of height, light and solidness. And then there are the old buildings: the quaint, unspoiled side-street or shops and homes from a distant age. If a person lived all of his life in one large city, he would continue to discover its architectural secrets into his old age.

My best way is to have a party, especially a family party. I don’t like a teenager party because it’s too messy, I like to take part in the family parties, especially when there’s a lot of peers, people of my age, but I prefer to go with my family, not just me alone, because, you know, I don’t know how to prepare my gifts, so they can give me some advice, and during the family party I prefer the dessert, and the food, I like to taste all kinds of food of different countries.

Speaker B

The best thing I want to talk about is last Sunday. I went to a family party. I love family parties — and, because the day before the party, I just finished my English exam, so I needed to relax, so I was really happy to enjoy and I’ve never been to the UK, so I went to the British people’s house and met them and brought them gifts from me and they were really happy, and we talked a lot about our different cultures and the customs like the weddings or something.

Speaker C

Definitely, I got very excited on Tuesday, when I opened my email account and I had won the lottery. I was thrilled, it took me a long time to actually remember my password and get into my account to find out just how much I had won. While I was doing this, in my mind, the figure went up from ten thousand to a million, than to 30 million pounds. In reality, it was two pounds seventy, but it was exciting, it put me in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Speaker D

On the Isle of Wight, well, the thing is we have lots of festivals every year, it seems that every weekend there’s another festival going on, so we’ve got lots of chances to go to music festivals, classic-car festivals or whatever, and there’s a lot of, there’s a big arts scene on the Isle of Wight, so if you’re into, I don’t know, anything where you can take a picnic out and listen to some music, you’ve got a lot of chances for this, and the island is also brilliant for its scenery, just walking around with lots of cycle tracks and footpaths.

Speaker E

Well, when I lived in Dubai, it was very different to the city it is right now, so at that time, I was trying to keep cool, which meant living in a swimming pool or going to the sea and swimming in the sea, but I think that’s where I got my idea of sitting around and eating and having a good time with friends and family, ‘cause it’s a very family-oriented environment, and family’s very important to a lot of people, so that would be one of the main activities.

Speaker F

Well, there’s a lot of activities, but in my family and in my city, because Shanghai is a crowded city, we usually go to a park, because there is no place for us to camp. I really love camping, and most of the office ladies, they all like to relax about. But we usually go to the park and maybe we do not know each other, but we meet in the park, so we can be together and talk about families of each other and, well, and kids can make friends, and something like that.

Oh, I’ve always been very attentive to my health. I believe it’s very important to stay healthy and energetic regardless of your age. Sadly, a lot of my classmates already have some chronic health issues — poor eyesight, bad posture, gastritis and many, many more. It’s awful! I myself have problems with my blood pressure, but I absolutely don’t want to sit around and do nothing. I do morning exercises every day, I jog two or three times a week, and my diet doesn’t include any junk food or sweet drinks. Some people believe that it’s boring to live like that, but I don’t agree — and frankly, don’t care.

Speaker B

I guess my lifestyle is alright, but there is always room for improvement. For example, I don’t have a very comfortable chair at home, and I need to sit in front of my computer a lot. Also, just like all of us, I’m looking at my phone pretty much all the time... My parents already say that my posture is getting worse, and my mom wants to buy me a special device for keeping my back straight! I really wouldn’t want to wear anything like that, so I’d rather start exercising...

Speaker C

Unfortunately, I can’t stay as active as I would like to. Last year, I fell off my bike and seriously injured my knee. Of course, it was my mistake not to wear any knee protection, and I’m still dealing with the consequences. My friends invite me to their tennis practice regularly, but I still can’t run or jump properly, so I just watch them from the stands. I am only allowed to do physical therapy now, and I know that it’s very helpful, but these exercises are just so boring!

Speaker D

To be completely honest, I don’t follow any healthy lifestyle trends. Why would I? These rules change every few years. At first, people promoted vitamins, and now it is said that you shouldn’t take vitamins unless you have a medical problem. Doctors claimed that you should drink 8 glasses of water per day, but now it turns out that tea, coffee, and soups also count. And don’t even get me started on diets and exercise styles — they go in and out of fashion every week. I don’t want to miss out on nice food or exhaust myself at the gym trying to catch up with a trend.

Speaker E

Personally, I come from a family of doctors, so I know everything about maintaining good health. However, no one in our house is crazy about following rules. Rather, we stay reasonable and always use common sense. For example, I would never eat three ice-creams in a row or the whole pizza in one sitting! I also wash my hands thoroughly and never go out if I’m sick. I wish more people followed this very simple advice.

Speaker F

In my opinion, it’s really easy to stay healthy in our day and age, and I’m really curious as to why so many people still don’t want to improve their lifestyles. For example, I don’t understand how one can still smoke despite all the information about the awful effects of smoking. The same goes for people who complain about the lack of time for exercising — there are so many places outside where you could do sports, jog, or play ball games. You can even exercise at home — you just need to go on the Internet! Are we really that lazy?

To be honest, I haven’t travelled much yet. We went to a maths competition in Kazan last year, and it was the first time I ever left my region! I loved Kazan, it is such a unique combination of historical and modern architecture. I wish I could visit more places in the future. This autumn we are hoping to go to a competition in India! I’m very excited about this trip, I hope everything works out fine with the weather and everything. It’s great when studying well gives you the opportunity to see the world.

Speaker B

I have visited three countries already, and of course I’d like to visit more. My parents are avid travellers — they have been all over the world! They like hiking and cycling, and they were actually able to cross a lot of countries on foot or on their bikes. When I was growing up, I always wanted to join them, but they believed that I was too young for such exhausting trips. Of course, it was very disappointing, but when I was actually allowed to join them on a trip to Mongolia, I realized how hard it was indeed! Still, it was an unbelievable experience.

Speaker C

You know, I actually really like my own region. Here we have everything: the mountains, the forests, and the sea. My friends think that I’m missing out by not venturing out more, and I always argue with them about it. I know our area like the back of my hand, and I love showing visitors around. Some people suggested that I could be a good tour guide, and I’m seriously considering studying touristic business at the university as my major.

Speaker D

I travel pretty often, but there is one serious problem — I’m really afraid of flying. I would really like to visit some faraway places — the thing is, it would take a very long time by train from where I live. It’s very disappointing, but, unfortunately, I can’t manage my fear of flying well enough to overcome it completely. As a result, I’m pretty limited in my choices of travelling destinations. Hopefully, I’ll beat my phobia one day — or scientists will invent teleportation!

Speaker E

I’m not a huge fan of travelling, and here is why — I can only go places in summer, and travelling during the summer is a complete nightmare. Going by bus is incredibly hot and uncomfortable, trains and planes are packed with other tourists who all want to visit the same places... If I spend too much time in a hot and crowded environment, I might get sick, and a couple of my vacations were ruined like that. So I’d rather save up money, stay at home and simply walk around the town.

Speaker F

We travel quite often with my friends. I really love that we are such a tight- knit crew. One person is always responsible for buying tickets, another — for booking the hotel, and so on. Personally, I am in charge of our schedule — I plan everything related to sightseeing, exhibitions, tours and everything like that. I’m a big fan of this role, as I like doing research and considering options. Our trips together always work like a clock — no surprises or disappointments!

Personally, I’m really unhappy with the way the new technologies are developing. More and more people are glued to their phones. Knowledge is devalued — why study if you can find any information online? Literacy is at an all-time low — just look at some comments on the Internet and try to find at least one without spelling mistakes. What concerns me the most, though, is how mean people are to each other on social media. No one knows how to maintain a healthy discussion anymore. I’m afraid that the more advanced our gadgets become, the worse the situation gets.

Speaker B

In my opinion, it’s completely normal to be both excited and worried about technological progress. For instance, one could be rightfully concerned about whether one day AI outsmarts us and conquers the world. Jokes aside — I don’t think that could actually happen, but I agree that powerful technologies can be very dangerous in the wrong hands. On the other hand, isn’t that amazing how many things we can do now that were impossible before? Personally, I’d rather focus on the positive.

Speaker C

The way I see it, new technologies themselves simply cannot be good or bad. It’s us who create them and give them meaning. After all, it’s real people who post offensive comments and fake news online! Bots and other kinds of AI are just learning from us — so if they create something unethical or disturbing, it’s actually just a mirror of our own behavior. As soon as people make a conscious decision to behave ethically online, there will be much fewer concerns about ‘unethical’ technologies.

Speaker D

If you ask me, I am a huge fan of progress. As a child, I loved reading novels by Jules Verne that described unbelievable devices and technologies — but most of them were actually invented later! It’s so exciting to see the human brain come up with the most incredible ideas. So many areas of life — from communication and sharing information to getting medical treatment or travelling around the world — have been vastly improved by technological achievements. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Speaker E

Don’t get me wrong — it might sound as if I’m some kind of opponent of progress, but I’m actually not. I’m simply questioning whether people have become too dependent on technology. Imagine a power outage in your district that leaves you without electricity for a few hours or so. It’s like your life completely stops! You can’t work, you can’t charge your gadgets, sometimes the Internet connection disappears as well. To be honest, it’s a bit scary how uncomfortable that feels, considering that for our ancestors it was a completely normal way to live.

Speaker F

To be honest, I’m a bit worried about the changes on the job market. For example, what if text-generating chatbots become so good that there is no need for copywriters anymore? What about translators? Nowadays, translating software can show excellent results, and it’s only getting better year by year. The same goes for digital artists and animators. Who is going to hire them if AI can create anything for free? Some might argue that people will still be necessary to supervise these clever bots, but I’m still not convinced.

I believe that learning foreign languages is absolutely necessary whether you travel abroad or not. The thing is that language training literally prevents you from getting older! Our brain needs constant practice, and learning a new language is great for this purpose as it requires using many different parts of the brain at the same time. So no matter which language you choose, it will bring you lots of health benefits.

Speaker B

In my opinion, people should really stop and focus on learning their native language properly. Don’t get me wrong — I agree that it’s important to learn about other cultures. I’m just so tired of seeing countless spelling mistakes on the Internet. It’s too early to start learning another language if you can’t express yourself eloquently in your native tongue.

Speaker C

As I see it, learning a new language properly takes a lot of time and practice, so I would rather focus on mastering one foreign language perfectly. I want to be able to read books, watch movies, and chat with the native speakers without any problems. I’ve already chosen a language for myself — it’s Spanish. I take a few classes every week, and until I’ve mastered it fully, I won’t start any new languages.

Speaker D

I disagree with those who believe that you should just learn any language. In my opinion, it’s a complete waste of time. You should carefully think about your future career instead of just learning the language of your favorite boy band! For example, it would be greatly beneficial to know a rare language. You can’t surprise anyone on the job market if you know one of the global languages, but if you learn something less popular well, it is possible to come across very interesting job opportunities.

Speaker E

As far as I understand, many people nowadays rely on the help of websites and apps to learn new languages, and I don’t think it’s the best strategy. There is still nothing better than authentic human communication, so I suggest finding a competent language teacher. It doesn’t have to be a native speaker — just someone with a good level and a lot of experience. Personally, I love my Chinese teacher — she’s very fun and knowledgeable, and I’m making great progress with her.

Speaker F

It seems to me that we have such amazing new technologies nowadays that it’s not that important to learn any foreign languages yourself. What’s the point if you can always use your smartphone to translate not just what you want to say, but what foreigners say to you? Online translation gets better and more accurate with time, and even some books are now translated with the help of artificial intelligence. I strongly believe that in the future, there will be no need to learn any other languages besides your own.

Personally, I agree that it’s very hard to choose your profession while still at school. I know a lot of high school students who still have no clue what to do after they finish their studies, and I don’t think it’s a great idea to choose just because you have to and not because you have a strong interest in some field. I think there shouldn’t be so much pressure for teens to decide their whole future – sometimes it’s hard for us to decide what to wear to school!

Speaker B

I really don’t see a problem with deciding what to do after school. Maybe it’s because my whole life I knew exactly who I wanted to be – a doctor, like my parents. I’ve never really thought about any other options, which probably helped me save a lot of time and energy. At school, I can focus on the subjects that will be necessary to enter the medical university – biology, chemistry, things like that. The only thing that I’m not sure about yet is what kind of doctor I’m going to be — but there will be time to figure it out.

Speaker C

From my viewpoint, it’s practically impossible to decide who you are going to be — but not for the reason everyone thinks. I know that a lot of my friends don’t want to do anything, but I have the opposite problem — I want to try everything at once! I’m really interested in journalism, fashion, and psychology. Also, I’ve been doing sports since I was a child, so I could also work as a coach. I don’t want to give up on any of my interests, but it seems that there is just no way to pursue them all professionally.

Speaker D

In my opinion, choosing your future profession at 17 or 18 is far too early. You simply don’t have enough life experience to make the best choice! So yeah, I believe it’s unfair that our parents and teachers want us to make decisions about our whole lives so early. Maybe instead of going to the university right after school, it would be a better idea to travel for a while or to do different small jobs to see what you like and dislike. At least it will give you a chance to learn more about the world.

Speaker E

If you ask me, I’m not super worried about having to choose my major. Right now, I want to become a translator, so I’m learning languages and improving my skills. However, if I realize that this is not a very interesting job for me, it’s always possible to get a second education or just explore similar professions. Some people are afraid of wasting their time on studying something they don’t like, but I firmly believe that anything you learn is useful for you.

Speaker F

The way I see it, high school students should be more proactive when it comes to choosing their future jobs. I agree that it might be stressful but you will never know what you want unless you try something. It could be a good idea to try some summer jobs while you’re at school, to read more about interesting professions of the future or even just to talk to adults you know about their work. The more information you get, the easier it is to figure out what you want and don’t want in life. It’s not helpful to just sit and worry about making the wrong choice.

As far as I see it, the Internet’s benefits do outweigh the problems. I feel this way because with its help, we can stay in touch with people we might otherwise not be able to. The Internet also gives you unlimited knowledge. You can learn pretty much anything there, and, what is more, do it quickly and for free. This can be a very useful tool when trying to do something on your own.

Speaker B

I really don’t understand why most of my time online I just procrastinate instead of being productive and studying. I sometimes find myself getting sucked into my phone whether it’s watching funny videos or chatting with my friends. Every time I put my phone down, I find myself being on it two seconds later. Sometimes I feel like being online makes me more stressed. I feel like I’m not being as productive and it makes me feel tired and drained.

Speaker C

I believe that, although the Internet holds so much good, having access to so many things and people truly does have its negatives. As a 15-year-old girl, the Internet becomes problematic due to the unrealistic beauty standards that online life idealizes. The Internet makes it almost impossible to escape these self-comparisons which leads millions of teenagers to struggle to find confidence in their own skin.

Speaker D

I strongly believe that misinformation has become extremely dangerous to the young minds using social media. It’s so easy nowadays to just read something online and instantly believe it. Not many people want to take the time to look into it and research what really happened. Instead they just take someone’s story or post, even if they don’t know the author personally, and share it, spreading more false information and hurting more people.

Speaker E

If you ask me, I love social media! It amazes me that I can keep up with friends and interact with like-minded people around the world. Having online friends and forums I can go to if I need advice is awesome. Meeting people through these platforms has done wonders for my mental health, but sometimes social media can be too much to handle. With information constantly floating around, trends that die out as soon as they become popular, and unpleasant facts about your favorite Internet personalities, it’s hard to keep up and not get overwhelmed.

Speaker F

I agree that the social media is a great way for teenagers to stay connected with each other. However, the Internet also has caused kids to become a lot less creative and lose some basic social skills. Just like everything, there needs to be a balance between staying connected online and making those personal connections that teach you things the Internet simply can’t, such as looking people in the eye and communicating clearly.

Beautiful views, great service, decent food and accessibility are a few words you can associate with flying, but there’s much more to it. I strongly believe that travelling by air is the fastest and most efficient way to reach distant destinations. It allows us to cover long distances in a short amount of time, maximizing our travel experience. So in my opinion, air travel offers convenience and accessibility, making it an ideal choice for those with limited time or who desire to explore far-flung corners of the world.

Speaker B

I think that everybody will agree that travelling by train offers a unique and immersive experience. It allows us to witness the changing landscapes, interact with fellow passengers, and enjoy the rhythmic motion of the train. Train travel often provides a more relaxed and scenic journey, offering the opportunity to soak in the beauty of the surroundings. It’s the constant motion, the meditative sound of wheels chugging on tracks that attract those who prefer travelling by train. You can just lean back with free Wi-Fi, and a snack cart rumbling up and down the aisles, and watch the scenes pass by, their changing monotony soothing you to sleep.

Speaker C

As far as I feel, travelling by car provides flexibility and freedom. It allows us to explore at our own pace, deviate from planned routes, and discover hidden gems along the way. It seems to me that road trips offer a sense of adventure, enabling us to connect with the local culture and take spontaneous detours. This way of travelling may imply gas stations stops and caffeine refills. I believe that travelling by car offers a personalized and customizable experience.

Speaker D

I guess you will agree that travelling by bicycle allows us to embrace a slower and more intimate way of experiencing the world. You don’t need any gas or costly maintenance. As for me, cycling offers a unique perspective, as it allows us to interact with the environment and connect with the local community on a deeper level. It promotes sustainability and physical well-being, while providing a sense of accomplishment. In general, cycling travel embodies a sustainable and immersive approach.

Speaker E

Travelling by boat opens up a world of exploration on the water. Cruises and sailing adventures offer the opportunity to visit remote islands, explore coastal regions, and witness breathtaking seascapes. It allows us to disconnect from the fast-paced world and immerse ourselves in the serenity of the sea. I think, travelling by boat typically takes much longer than driving, flying, or riding the rails. But there’s also something primeval about crossing from land to land like explorers before us, and, in my opinion, there’s no other mode of transportation that connects you so closely to the elements.

Speaker F

Travelling on foot is the most authentic and intimate way to explore a destination. What I mean is that walking allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the local culture, interact with the locals, and discover hidden gems that may be overlooked by other means of transportation. I hope you will agree that walking encourages mindfulness and a deeper connection with the surroundings. From my viewpoint, travelling on foot offers a slower, more intimate experience than any other way of travelling.
