Interviewer: Hi, John. You’ve been in Japan for a long time.
John: Mmm.
Interviewer: What differences do you notice between the two countries?
John: Well, people in England usually live leisurely and I find people are much busier in Japan. They seem to work the whole day, from Monday to Saturday, even in summer.
Interviewer: Oh.
John: It’s very hot and humid, and you need to take showers three times a day.
Interviewer: Yes, it’s cooler in England.
John: That’s right. But in the north, it’s much colder than England, especially in winter—thirty degrees below zero. I’ve also found that Japan is much more mountainous than Britain, especially in the north. The mountains are much higher and much more rocky. They are very beautiful.
Interviewer: You like mountains.
John: Yes. As Japan is a mountainous country, the cities are more crowed and the houses are smaller. They don’t have a lot of space.
Interviewer: Are there a lot of tall buildings in big cities?
John: No, not many, because there are a lot of earthquakes and the pollution.
Interviewer: Thank you, John.
