Elena: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

Miguel: If I could choose, I would live in a small town by the ocean. I would wake up every morning and go for a swim.

E: That sounds wonderful. If I had enough money, I would buy a house in the mountains.

M: Would you miss the city?

E: Maybe. If I lived far from a city, I might feel lonely sometimes. But if I had a good internet connection, I could work from home.

M: If I were you, I would think about it carefully. What would you do if there were no hospital nearby ['nɪrbaɪ]?

E: That's true. If I got really sick, I would need to drive a long way. Maybe I would keep an apartment in the city too.

M: If we both had unlimited [ʌn'lɪmɪtɪd] money, we could buy houses everywhere!

E: If only that were true!
