  Hi Tara,

  First, thank you for this wonderful lesson because all of us want to live in a city that to be liveable city.

  Second, it was easy for me and could understand it without seeing the text and could also fill in the blanks all words.

  Third, I wish all big cities of the world had some standards for living.

  Thank you, best wishes and have a nice weekend,
  Bijan from the Persian Gulf
