16 Read this student's essay. There are six mistakes in making comparisons. Find and correct them.

Some people like the city. Some like the country. I like the city because it is more interesting from the country. The city is expensive than the country, but it's worth it. The restaurants are much better, and entertainment is more available. Store hours are convenienter. so you can go shopping any time, day or night.

I enjoy walking around the city. It is true that the country is clean than the city, and it is also more quiet. But city streets are more exciting. There is always something happening.

For me the city is definitely nicer that the country, and I hope to remain here.
