Journalist: So Kate, what do you think when Melbourne became the most liveable city in 2015?

Kate: That’s amazing, I am proud to be a resident here.

Journalist: What do you like most about the city?

Kate: Well, there are lots of recreational facilities such as entertainment centres, movies, bars. The transport infrastructure is very reliable. We have people coming from all parts of the world so there is a variety of cultural festivals during a year. Everything is great!

Journalist: Is there anything that you don’t like?

Kate: Well, to be honest, I don’t like the weather, it is so changeable. You can have four types of weather in a day. And it is very hot in summer and extremely cold in winter.

Journalist: Last question. Will you recommend other people to reside in Melbourne?

Kate: Sure. I think this is a perfect place for young people, with great educational opportunities and fabulous nightlife. I am not so sure this is a good place for young children or the elderly.

Journalist: Thanks a lot.

Kate: You are welcome.
