Read Tomaž's message to his friend, then answer the questions.
Živjo, Marko! Končno imam novice. Dobil sem novo službo v Ljubljani in se moram preseliti. Stanovanje, ki sem ga našel, je blizu centra, a je malo drago. Delo se začne prvega oktobra. Čeprav me je malo strah, sem zelo vesel. Upam, da me prideš obiskat. Lep pozdrav, Tomaž

Prejšnji teden se mi je pokvaril avto. Najprej sem poklical mehanika, a je bil predrag. Potem sem našel drugega, ki ga je popravil hitro in poceni. Na koncu je bilo vse v redu.Last week my car broke down. First I called a mechanic, but he was too expensive. Then I found another, who fixed it quickly and cheaply. In the end everything was fine.
2. Give your opinion: Ali je življenje v mestu boljše kot na vasi? (Is city life better than village life?)
show a model answer
Po mojem mnenju ima vsako svoje prednosti. V mestu je več dela in zabave, na vasi pa je mirno in zdravo. Sam imam raje vas, ker imam rad naravo.In my opinion each has its advantages. In the city there's more work and entertainment, while the village is quiet and healthy. I myself prefer the village because I like nature.
