Dan:      Where do you live, Kim?

Kim        I live in an apartment downtown.

Dan:      Oh, that’s convenient, but… How much crime is there?

Kim:       Not much, but there is a lot of traffic. I can’t stand the noise sometimes!

Where do  you live?

Dan:      I have a house in the suburbs.

Kim:       Oh I bet it’s really quiet. But is there much to do there?

Dan:      No, not much. In fact, nothing ever really happens. That’s the trouble.

Kim:       Hey, let’s trade places one weekend!

Dan:      Ok, great idea.
