Write a paragraph comparing life and people in Ecuador and USA.  Life in Ecuador is more different than the US. People in the US earn more money than people in Ecuador, but things in the US cost more than in Ecuador. In winter, the US is colder than Ecuador. The landscape in Ecuador is just as beautiful as the USA. Technology in the US is cheaper than in Ecuador. Ecuador is smaller than the US. Life in the US is more routine than Ecuador. Life in Ecuador is less stressful than in the US, because there is more traffic, the buildings are bigger and the cities are more extensive, the mobilization is more complicated and the transportation is longer, because in the peak hours trains, the subway and the buses are full of people.
