💬 Scenario: City vs. Countryside

Question: "Do you prefer living in the city or the countryside?"

Speaker A (Rambling) "I like the city because shops are close. But it's noisy. The country is quiet. But boring. So I don't know really."
(Confusing. Hard to follow.)
Speaker B (Structured)
"I prefer the city for two main reasons."
"First of all, the convenience is unbeatable. Shops and hospitals are nearby."
"Secondly, the career opportunities are much better for my field."
"For those reasons, the city is the clear winner for me."
