CONTRASTING CAPITALS

      Tokyo and Wellington are very different capital cities but they have two  things in common: they are both on the coast and they both have earthquakes. Tokyo is of course much bigger than Wellington, and has a much larger population. It's more cosmopolitan and more exciting than Wellington, but it's also busier, more crowded and more polluted. Public transport in Tokyo is better and cheaper  than in Wellington, but because a lot of people drive to work there are terrible traffic jams. In Wellington there are fewer cars and people, so driving in the city is much quicker and easier.

      The cost of living and salaries are higher in Tokyo, and food, clothes and accommodation are all more expensive. In Wellington people work shorter hours and have more time for sport and leisure activities. In Tokyo shopping and eating out are more popular than sport, and there's a wonderful choice of restaurants. The standard of service in shops and restaurants is usually excellent, and generally people are very polite and helpful.

ПРОТИВОПОСТАВЛЕНИЕ СТОЛИЦ                                                                

          Токио и Веллингтон - очень разные столицы, но у них есть две общие черты: они находятся на побережье, и у них обоих происходят землетрясения. Токио, конечно, намного больше, чем Веллингтон, и имеет более многочисленное население. Он является более космополитическим и более захватывающим, чем Веллингтон, но он также более занят, более переполнен и более загрязнен. Общественный транспорт в Токио лучше и более дешевле чем в Веллингтоне, но из-за того что много людей ездят на работу создаются ужасные пробки. В Веллингтоне меньше автомобилей и людей, и таким образом движение в городе быстрее и легче.

          Прожиточный минимум и зарплаты выше в Токио, и продукты, одежда и проживание все дороже. В Веллингтоне люди работают меньше часов и имеют больше времени для спорта и деятельности в свободное от работы время. В Токио посещение магазинов и ресторанов более популярно, чем спорт, и есть прекрасный выбор ресторанов. Уровень обслуживания в магазинах и ресторанах обычно превосходен, и в целом люди очень вежливы и услужливы.
