Peter: I agree with what you say – this is a beautiful city. What I’m saying is that all the visitors and traffic help to make pollution.

Taxi driver: Well, I agree with that. Look at all the plastic bags next to the road and in the river. That’s pollution and it’s very ugly.

Peter: That’s right. And plastic will stay there for a long time. Oh! What’s that? It’s a bicycle upside down  in the river, isn’t it?

Taxi driver: Yes, it is and it makes me very angry! Why throw things in the river? Some people are awful, aren’t they?

Peter: Yes, they are. It’s very sad.

Taxi driver: The traffic is moving now. Where do you want to go?

Peter: Is there a bank near here? I need some money.

Taxi driver: Yes, there is. We’re almost there.

Peter: You can wait for me, can’t you? I’ll be quick.

Taxi driver: The bank will be busy. I’ll come back for you.

Peter: That’s kind of you.

Taxi driver: We’re all kind here. The traffic may be bad and the streets polluted but the people are good.

Peter: Yes! And that’s the most important thing, isn’t it?
