SECTION 4

Ryo :

Was this a discouraging experience for you?//

Anne :

For sure.// It was disappointing/to lose a World Heritage site/in my country.// But we must recall/that this withdrawal resulted/from the residents’ preference.// Dresden Elbe Valley cuts across a large city/where many people live.// They have the right/to place daily convenience/above inconvenient prestige.//

Mr. Brown :

That’s right.// And we must remember/that a problem like this can arise anywhere.// So we all need to think of ways/to strike a balance/between development and preservation of nature/no matter where we live.// Thank you,/Anne.// It was great talking with you.//

Anne :

My pleasure.//
