Which of the following is INCORRECT about Los Angeles?
W: Hello, Franklin!
M: Hello, Mary! How nice to see you again! How have you been these days?
W: Pretty busy, you know I am hunting for a job recently.
M: Well, how is it going?
W: You know I’ve been thinking about applying for a job in other states. Well, I’ve got the details about different jobs and I’d like your opinion about which would be the best one to go for.
M: Where are the jobs?
W: One is in Los Angeles, one is in Detroit and the other one is in Atlanta City.
M: Los Angeles is supposed to be a very nice place. Los Angeles area offers many attractive visiting places, like mountains and beaches. And there are ski resorts near the city! It is considered to be one of the best tourist destination in the country.
W: Yes it is, and the company is also located in a beautiful part.
M: That would be great for the health. You know, I’d love to be able to go skiing at weekends!
W: But, one problem with Los Angeles is that it’s growing very fast. That means the cost of living would be very high. A report says that the overall cost of living is 33% above the national average, with housing costs tending to be among the most expensive in the nation. In the city of Los Angeles, the median cost for apartment rentals is $735 per month.
M: How does the salary of the job in Los Angeles compare with other jobs?
W: It’s a higher salary than the job in Detroit but lower than the one in Atlanta City. The Atlanta City job has the most responsibility. From the point of view of career progression that would probably be the best job for me.
M: Atlanta City is the closest to New York City, too, so it would be easy to come back for weekends and holidays.
W: That’s right, and the regular transportation service would save quite a bit on fares.
M: And what about accommodation?
W: Well, actually, apartments are much cheaper to rent in Los Angeles, Detroit and Atlanta City than they are here in New York City, so we’d be able to afford to live in a nice, spacious apartment, I’d think.
M: Mmm, that would be terrific! And do you know what the cultural facilities are like in these cities?
W: In fact, they’re quite good in all three. But, of course, Los Angeles has an international reputation as a cultural center. It has a surprising number of art museums and galleries and many of them offer free admission all the time or on certain days of the week or month. There are also some excellent theaters in Los Angeles, some of which double as architectural landmarks, like the Pantages Theater. I have been there once, it’s so amazing. What’s more, you know, I am so crazy about movies, and Hollywood is just there, maybe I could come across some super Hollywood stars in the street and get a signature.
M: Well, that sounds fascinating. And another thing we’ll have to consider, of course, are the educational possibilities. How long would you want to go for?
W: I hope it would be a maximum of five years and working across states will be good for my career! And if I would apply for the master degree, there’d be no problems as University of California, Los Angeles, in fact, is the one of the largest university in this country.
M: Well, it seems to me that the choice must be between Atlanta City and Los Angeles. Atlanta City has the advantage of being closest to New York City, so coming home would be relatively easy and inexpensive. Los Angeles, on the other hand, sounds like the most interesting place from a cultural point of view.
W: I agree with you. Personally, I favor Los Angeles because it is so fascinating. We both like skiing and we could go skiing at weekends in the winter.
M: I think you are right. I had thought Atlanta City might be preferable because it’s the closest to New York City. Now that we are going to be away, let’s choose the most attractive place we can.
W: Right, that’s agreed. Now all I have to do is get the job!
