 3. READ THE TEXT AND WRITE THE ADJECTIVES YOU SEE IN THE CORRECT COLUMN.

Hi. My name’s Tania. During the week I live in Pachuca

Hidalgo. I’m studying at UPMH. I like living here
because there are lots of places to go out, like clubs,
movies, coffe shops, restaurants, etc. There are a lot
of restaurants and cafés too but they are quite
expensive and the food isn’t very good. I prefer the
traditional food in local markets. Transportation
around Pachuca is not very expensive, however, I
think it is sometimes slow, so if you are in a hurry,
you’d better take a taxi, bu it isn’t very cheap. There
aren’t many buses here. The “TuzoBus” is the
cheapest transport in the city and it is comfortable.

Now, there are more roads and bridges but there is a lot of traffic most of the time. I think, it isn’t very safe to
walk the streets at night. Living in Pachuca is not cheap. I rent a small apartment with a friend and I pay $1200
every month. Anyway, I think Pachuca is still a great place to live. If you are a careful person you won’t have any
problems living here.
