Spanish Text<\/h2>\n
\nSara: No s\u00e9 Mateo. Somos inteligentes, est\u00e1 claro, pero no s\u00e9 si me gustan los coches y aviones.
\nMateo: \u00a1Qu\u00e9 dices! \u00bfDonde estar\u00edamos sin los coches y los aviones?
\nSara: Viviendo en un mundo m\u00e1s limpio, con menos contaminaci\u00f3n, con menos estr\u00e9s, menos ruido. Yo estoy mucho m\u00e1s contenta cuando ando o voy en bici.
\nMateo: \u00bfY cuando llueve o nieva?
\nSara: No me importa.
\nMateo: \u00bfC\u00f3mo vas al trabajo en bici cuando est\u00e1 nevando y hay hielo en la carretera?
\nSara: Ya lo sabes, trabajo desde mi casa.
\nMateo: S\u00ed, para ti es f\u00e1cil. Pero para la mayor\u00eda de la gente el coche es esencial.
\nSara: Pero la mayor\u00eda de la gente no est\u00e1 contenta conduciendo millas cada d\u00eda con mucho tr\u00e1fico y retrasos.
\nMateo: Ya, pero la vida no es f\u00e1cil Sara. Tenemos que trabajar y entonces tenemos que usar coches y los coches que usamos hoy en d\u00eda son maravillosos.
\nSara: Tenemos que buscar otro sistema. Trabajamos demasiado.
\nMateo: Vale Sara, sigue so\u00f1ando.
\nSara: Bueno Mateo, no hay nada malo en tener sue\u00f1os y buscar mejores soluciones. Y por cierto, usar el transporte p\u00fablico es mucho mejor que usar tantos coches.
\nMateo: No hay suficiente flexibilidad con el transporte p\u00fablico.
\nSara: \u00a1No hay suficiente flexibilidad contigo Mateo! \u00a1De todas formas, los coches de hoy en d\u00eda no son tan buenos, deber\u00edan ser todos el\u00e9ctricos!
\nMateo: Bueno, tengo que trabajar. No quiero llegar tarde.<\/p>\n

\nSara: I don\u2019t know Mateo. We are smart, of course, but I don\u2019t know if I like cars and planes.
\nMateo: What are you saying! Where would we be without cars and planes?
\nSara: Living in a cleaner world, with less pollution, with less stress, less noise. I am much happier when I walk or go by bike.
\nMateo: And when it rains or snows?
\nSara: I don\u2019t mind.
\nMateo: How do you go to work on a bike when it\u2019s snowing and there\u2019s ice on the road?
\nSara: You know, I work from my house.
\nMateo: Yes, it\u2019s easy for you. But for most people, the car is essential.
\nSara: But most people are not happy driving miles every day with a lot of traffic and delays.
\nMateo: Yeah, but life is not easy Sara. We have to work and therefore we have to use cars and the cars we use today are wonderful.
\nSara: We have to look for another system. We work too much.
\nMateo: OK Sara, keep dreaming.
\nSara: Well, Mateo, there\u2019s nothing wrong with having dreams and looking for better solutions. And by the way, using public transport is much better than using so many cars.
\nMateo: There is not enough flexibility with public transport.
\nSara: There\u2019s not enough flexibility with you Mateo! Anyway, the cars of today are not so good, they should all be electric!
\nMateo: Well, I have to work. I don\u2019t want to be late.<\/p>\n
