12．Michelle was a student at University of California，Los Angeles．She is here to tell us how she feels about the city．
What were the best things about Los Angeles？
One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather．I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there．Plus，most of the time it's usually sunny，which is good because I love going to the beach during the summer．There's so much to do at the beach，but my favorite thing in L．A．was having a picnic on the sand with my friends．
What were the worst things about being there？
I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out．Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded．Also，a lot of people complain about the pollution．
Did you have any problems there？
Just the normal problems of living in any city，like watching out for pickpockets （扒手）．Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime，but I think it's as safe as any other city．Also，many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage （路怒癥），but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience．
What are the people like in Los Angeles？
There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse．For the most part，though，most of the people are friendly，calm and relaxed．Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is beautiful，but I think that's just a stereotype （模式化的印象）．
Would you go back to Los Angeles？
Certainly．Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world．I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city，but also has access to beaches，parks，mountains and other places you can't usually find in large cities．Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do，it's a great place to be．
