San Francisco — first impressions

1 There are so many tech companies here; it’s really exciting. I’ve joined a networking group to meet people from the industry, and I’ve already been to a couple of events. Have I found a job yet? No … but I’m sure I will soon!

2 In my apartment building, there are people of all nationalities. I haven’t met all my neighbors yet, but I love living in a city where everyone is different.

3 Whatever you’re interested in, there’s always something going on. I’ve already been to the theater twice and I’ve seen a baseball game, and I only arrived two weeks ago!

4 San Francisco is expensive and you need a good salary to live here. I’ve rented a room in a shared house, but after I’ve paid the rent, it doesn’t leave me with much money for other things.

5 The summers wouldn’t be as hot as back home. It hasn’t been too cold yet, but it can get really foggy, especially when you’re near the ocean.

6 The traffic here is terrible, so forget driving! Cable cars are fun, but public transportation can get really crowded, so I just bought myself a bike. The bike lanes are great.

A) Main idea

1) Who is more positive about the city?
