And people there are friendlier than in the city.

#11

Both are good. They are just different.

Yes, the best place depends on the person.

I have two pets, a cat and a dog.

#14

They are very different from each other.

#15

My dog is bigger and stronger than my cat.

#16

However, my cat is quieter and cleaner than my dog.

#17

The dog is more active, so he needs more exercise.

The cat is lazier, but she is also more independent.

#19

My dog is friendlier to strangers than my cat.

#20

My cat, on the other hand, is smarter at solving problems.

I love them both, even though they are so different.

#22

Having two pets is more fun than having one.

#23

This phone is more expensive than that one.

#24

But it has a better camera than the cheaper one.

#25

The cheaper phone is faster, though.

#26

Is the screen bigger on the expensive one?

Yes, and the battery lasts longer too.

However, the cheaper one is lighter to carry.

#29

For me, a good camera is more important.

#30

For me, a lower price is better.

#31

So the best choice is different for everyone.

#32

Right. We all have different needs.
