The City of my Dream Since young age, I have always wondered what the perfect place for living would be like. Now, I can say that I have a clear vision of the city of my dreams. First of all, it should be situated in a sunny part of our planet and have great weather conditions all year round. Secondly, there should be neither crime nor any violence there. Only good and kind people can reside in such city. Life can be much easier and nicer if everyone is loving and understanding. In the city of my dreams people will live in peace and quiet, without any worries and fears. This city will have excellent roads, cheap stores, many beautiful parks and playgrounds for kids, several entertainment centers and else. The population of the city will be neither too rich, nor poor. People will live equally well. Older people will be respected and taken care of. The streets will be clean and safe. There will be no homeless animals in the city of my dreams. Another important condition is to have a loyal government. People in the city of my dream will never be in a hurry and they will do only the jobs they like. However, I certainly understand that it’s just my dream, I really hope that at least some of the mentioned qualities will come true in the future.
I: Come in. Mr. Lo, isn't? Please, have a seat. Войдите. Господин Ло, не так ли присаживайтесь. S: Thank you. Благодарю Вас. I: Did you have a good trip? Хорошо ли Вы доехали? S: Yes, thanks. I came up from San Diego yesterday. Да Я приехал из Сан Диего вчера. I: And did you find a nice hotel? Вам удалось найти хороший отель? S: No. I am at my parents' place in Oakland. Нет. Я [остановился] у моих родителей в Окленде. I: Oh, that's right, you're from the Bay area, aren't you? О, это правильно. Вы же из области Залива, не так ли? S: Yes. I was born and raised in Oakland. Да. Я родился и вырос в Окленде. I: When did you leave Oakland? Когда Вы покинули Окленд? S: I went to college in L.A. That was in 1988. Я поступил в колледж в Лос-Анджелесе. Это было в 1988 году. I: So, where are you presently working? Итак, где Вы сейчас работаете? S: Soledad Computers in San Diego. В "Соледад Компьютерс" в Сан Диего. I: Why do you want to change jobs now? Почему Вы хотите сменить работу сейчас? S: I'd like to do some travelling. I want to use my languages, and I want a better job. Я хотел бы иногда путешествовать. Я хочу использовать свое знание языков, и я хочу лучшую работу. I: Do you want to live closer to your parents? Вы хотите жить ближе к своим родителям? S: That's not the reason why I want this job. But yes, I'd like to live in this area again. Это не та причина, по которой я хочу получить эту работу. Но да, я бы хотел жить в этом районе снова. I: Well, thank you, Mr. Lo. We'll be in touch. Что ж г-н Ло. Мы с вами свяжемся.
