STEP 1 - CONTENT REVIEW.

Exercise 1.3

I was born in Espinal and I am living in Bogota

Bogotá is bigger than Espinal

Bogota has much more pollution than Espinal, not because of the industries, but
because of the enormous number of vehicles.

In Bogota there is always something to do, whatever the diligence, Espinal has not
yet reached that point but is on the way to being so.

Bogota has a large number of physical universities and Espinal only 2.

People in Bogota always have a stressed face, in Espinal people are happier.

I could say more comparisons of the two cities, but if I chose at my own will, I like
my town much better, Espinal-Tolima, with all its limitations, cultural, industrial, etc.
I choose it because of its tranquility, its agriculture and its friendly people

enriching, you get to know many cultures, places, even not so famous

of food out of charity in most cases. not suitable for people who like
