My three favorite students are Jacob, Mason, and Emma. Jacob is one of my favorite students
because he always comes to class with his book and he pays attention. His English is not the best, but he
works very hard. Mason is also a good student. He brings his textbook, participates a lot, and does all of
his homework. His writing is very good as well. But my best student is Emma. Not only does she attend
every class and always participate, but she writes wonderful essays. Also, she always scores the highest
on her examinations. And those are my favorite students.

There are several disadvantages and advantages to living in New York. The disadvantages often
prevent people from moving there to begin with. Some view the city as being overwhelming, with tall
buildings, too many people, and endless traffic jams. They think that the crime rate is high and that
parts of the city are dangerous. And the worst thing is that it is very expensive. But for others, the
advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. They love living in an enormous city with people and
cultures from all over the world. This great mix offers a wide assortment of shops, restaurants, galleries,
and museums to choose from. Some people say that if somethi:lz exists, then you can find it in New
York. And it is really as safe as any other city in America. Therefore, for those who can afford it, New
York is a wonderful place to live.
