Teacher

Can you tell me about your hometown?

Maya

Sure. I'm from a small town by the sea. There are about twenty thousand people, so it's much quieter than the city. There's a long beach and an old harbour with fishing boats. In summer it gets busier because of the tourists. What I like most is that everything is close, I can walk to school in ten minutes. The only problem is that there isn't much for teenagers to do in the evening.

Teacher

Would you like to live there in the future?

Maya

Maybe when I'm older. For now, I'd prefer to live in a bigger city.
