* TAPESCRIPT:
Anna: Hello, grandpa. Can I ask you a question?
Grandpa: Sure, Anna.
Anna:I’ve watched a documentary about cities in the future at school and I’m curious about how our city was when you were young.
Grandpa: It looked different compared to the city today. I moved to this city when I was just 8 years old. Back then, there were no high-rise buildings. The public
transportation system was not as extensive as it is today. To get to places, I had to walk or use my bike.
Anna: Interesting! Do you think our city will remain the same in 30 years?
Grandpa: Certainly not. I think the number of city dwellers will increase significantly. To accommodate its huge population, people will build more tall buildings.
Anna: You don’t sound very excited.
Grandpa: How can I be? Modern cities are awful. Pollution, traffic jams, and a lack of green space are just a few problems facing our city.
Anna: I see your point, but I love modern cities. According to the documentary, modern cities can become smart cities in the future. Aware of these mentioned
problems, people are solving them with car-free transport systems, and roof gardens… With new technology, smart cities can make our life more convenient. You
should watch the documentary.
Grandpa: OK. I’ll check it out.
