Tales from childhood: Festival in the big city.

Hello, everyone! This is Beth speaking. How are you?

My brother Johnny, our friend Sophie, and I are invited to a big city for the opening of an event. We will be there the whole evening and even longer.

"We will be able to meet local citizens!" my brother Johnny said.

There we actually met people who were born in the center of a big city and have lived there their entire lives.

"I live here and went to school here. Now I'm studying at a prestigious university." the young girl bragged to me.

"The festival is very beautiful, I liked the dancing!" Sophie said.

There was a huge crown of people there, and I couldn't see all the stars of the concert.

Perhaps a big city offers more opportunities, but I'm not sure...
