  Marika: My hometown is Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
  Todd: OK, and how many people live there?
  Marika: About 4 million people.
  Todd: Oh really?
  Marika: Mm-hm. It's the biggest city in Canada.
  Todd: Really. What is the best thing about it?
  Marika: The best thing about Toronto is that it's a very multi-cultural city, and there is a really big mix of different people and there is lots of different things going on and lots of different cultural events and different restaurants and it's really interesting to meet all the different people.
  Todd: What is the worst thing about it?
  Marika: The worst thing about it is that I grew up there so I don't think it's as exciting as it probably is.
  Todd: Oh, really.
  Marika: Like sometimes I just get bored there because I'm used to it. Is that a bad thing?
  Todd: NoMarika: That's weird 1. Let me say that again. What's the worst thing about it, OK, can I say the worst thing about it?
  Todd: YeahMarika: One more time?
  Todd: SureMarika: The worst thing about Toronto is that it's expanding and a lot of the farmland 2 that is outside of Toronto is now being developed into condominiums and suburbs 3 and it's really good farmland but now it's just being turned into suburbs which is really bad I think.
