[Music] my hometown [Music] [Applause] hi my name is Alex and I live in a small village situated in the western part of Austria in a large Valley at the foot of the mountains people here are very friendly and we all know each other a very quiet place the air is clean and fresh and the landscapes are breathtaking what I like most about my village is that you can enjoy several sports activities here such as hiking and mountain biking I go hiking very often with my friends you can also try rock climbing here I don't like
this sport though I think it's too dangerous in winter many tourists come here for skiing and snowboarding skiing is one of my favorite sports too there is a small ski resort above the village the tourists come and visit our village too [Music] there are two shops in my village a bakery and a grocery store there's also a school and a post office there is a small clinic not far away from my house there is also a bus stop and a railway station [Music] it's a beautiful village and I loved growing up in the countryside but
sometimes it's a little boring I would like to be able to move to a big city one day because there are opportunities that you can't find here [Music] hi my name is Ben and I live in the big city New York I live in a three-room apartment on the eighth floor of my parents is my younger brother my city is very crowded and noisy my school is not very close to where I live so I have to take the subway you can reach so easily everywhere with a subway there are many people of all cultures
in my city they speak different languages the taxis are also great to get you where you want to go if you don't want to wait for the subways I almost never go to school by car with my parents because we always have to wait for hours in the traffic jam that's one of the things I dislike about my city and there is much pollution in the city but fortunately we have many parks Central Park is the most famous one it is landmark in New York City there is a zoo in the Central Park that you
can visit I like New York because there is so much great food everywhere so many places and cuisines to try there are so many stores where you can buy anything you need there are movie theaters where you can watch the latest movies swimming pools sports centers museums schools colleges and universities I don't like the skyscrapers there are too many in suit ah I hate the heavy traffic in the city the pollution and the noise and I also hate crowds it's a wonderful city there's a lot to do and to see but I'd rather live in
a smaller city less crowded less noisy [Music] hello welcome to my hometown I live in Copenhagen which is the capital of Denmark I live downtown in a four room flat with my parents and my two siblings I really love my hometown it's a great place to live I've grown up here since I was a baby what I like most about the city is the rainbow of colors as one lives down the streets of Copenhagen I enjoy the lively streets full of people and so many shops cafes street food stands I think its charm comes from
the feeling of a small city people in Copenhagen love bikes they bike to work to school to bring the kids to kindergarten to shop for groceries I also buy to school every morning it's such a healthy lifestyle Copenhagen is a city by the sea so I like taking a boat ride with my dad pretty often I have so much fun my sister looks like a modern-day fairy tale because there are many beautiful castles and Gardens my friends and I love to walk through the gardens and enjoy a picnic I love my city very much people
are so friendly and optimistic here I will not live in any other place we are said to be the happiest people in the world [Music] thanks for watching please subscribe to our YouTube channel and visit our web site www.kpbs.org/news/evening edition
