M: Hi, Asha. Is your mother feeling any better?
W: No, I’m afraid not. She’s very homesick. She misses her family and friends back in India.
M: Do you think she will ever move back to India?
W: I’m not sure. It’s very difficult for her, because my father and my sisters all live here in California, so she doesn’t want to leave us.
M: Does she ever go visit her family in India?
W: She goes back once a year to visit her family and friends. But when she’s in India, she misses her family in the United States.
M: It must be very hard for her, to always be torn between two places.
W: Yes, it is. And she’s always telling us not to forget our Indian culture. So, next year, my sisters and I are planning on traveling to India with her for a few months, so that we can all experience the culture together.
M: I think that’s a wonderful idea. She’ll be so happy!

M: So what time?
W: Let me see…You should have known this information yesterday, at the meeting for the new students.
M: Oh, was there a meeting yesterday? I didn’t know about that …no one mentioned…
W: Never mind. Now lectures are at four in the afternoon.
M: Four’s bit late. I’ve got a part time job that starts at four thirty.
W: Well, but attendance at lectures is necessary. We expect at least 80% attendance at this university, you know.
M: 80%! That’s high.
W: But I’m afraid you have to meet that requirement, otherwise, you can’t get enough credits to graduate. And what’s more, if you want to earn the scholarship, 90% attendance rate or above is a must.
M: Ok, I see. Thank you for your information.
W: You’re welcome.

I grew up in a small town until I was 18 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. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.
