Read and listen to the conversation. Which city is more popular – New York or Washington? Why?

Grace: What’s the capital city of the USA?

Lola:   New York.

Grace: No! It’s Washington, DC. A lot of people think New York’s the capital because

            it’s bigger and more famous than Washington. Washington is smaller and

            quieter, but maybe it’s more dangerous.

Lola:   Oh, But New York is cooler! It’s in a lot of American movies.

Grace: This website says New York is dirtier and more expensive than Washington.

           But New York is more popular because the stores and restaurants are better.
