Dear Chris, I am writing to ask you for some information that will help me make a decision. I have recently been offered a job in

Seattle

. I am very much interested in the job, but, as you know, I have never even visited

Seattle

. I am not sure whether I would like to live there. Since you have lived there for a while, I thought you could answer some questions for me. One thing I am worried about is the weather. I have heard that it rains in

Seattle

all the time. Is

this

true? It sounds very depressing. I have

also

heard that

Seattle

is a growing city, and I am afraid it would feel very crowded to me. I have never lived in a big city before. Another thing I wonder about is leisure activities. I like going out dancing a lot. Are there good places to go dancing in

Seattle

? What about music? I would not want to live in a place where I could not go to concerts frequently. Another important issue is housing. I have heard that

Seattle

is very expensive. Is it hard to find a nice apartment at a reasonable rent? What neighbourhoods would you recommend? I appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions, and I look forward to hearing from you. If I decide to accept the job in

Seattle

then

I hope we will be able to get together frequently. Best wishes, Miranda

Other people think there are benefits id society has more elderly people. To what extent do the advantages of having an ageing population outweigh the disadvantages?
