Alyson Viner is a travel writer. Read her article about two cities she
lived in Tokyo and Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Tick (v)
true or false.
CONTRASTING CAPITALS
Tokyo and Wellington are very different capital cities but they have two things in common: they are both on the coast and they both have earthquakes. Tokyo is of course much bigger than Wellington, and has a much larger population. It's more cosmopolitan and more exciting than Wellington, but it's also busier, more crowded and more polluted. Public transport in Tokyo is better and cheaper than in Wellington, but because a lot of people drive to work there are terrible traffic jams. In Wellington there are fewer cars and people, so driving in the city is much quicker and easier.
The
cost of living and salaries are higher in Tokyo, and food, clothes and
accommodation are all more expensive. In Wellington people work shorter
hours and have more time for sport and leisure activities. In Tokyo
shopping and eating out are more popular than sport, and there's a wonderful
choice of restaurants. The standard of service in shops and restaurants
is usually excellent, and generally people are very polite and helpful.
