B: what do you mean?

B: I see what you mean. I love being far away from a city, but I hate being so far away department stores and sports facilities.
A: people can’t have it both ways. If you live in the country, it is often less convenient. If you live in a city, it is noisy, buy there’s more to do.
B; I would love to be surrounded by hills and streams. They’re so much better to look at than concrete, rows of parked cars and tall buildings.
A: I would love to hear the birds singing and feel the fresh breeze 8 on my face. When the wind blows in the city, you get dust in your mouth and in your eyes.
B; the view from the hill is so beautiful and relaxing. There’s so sign of pollution. The village looks so peaceful.
A: just remember that in that village there’s nothing to do. There’s not even a pub 9 or restaurant. There’s just one small shop with a poor selection 10 of goods.
