Your friend is writing an email to her Austrian friend. She asks for your help.
Translate the following passage INTO GERMAN.
I like living in my town although it is too quiet. However, you can go shopping in the town. Last
weekend we saw a fantastic film at the cinema. One disadvantage is that the public transport is
unreliable. When I’m older I would like to live abroad because I love foreign languages.
