I am late but in case anyone else has the same question.
雨さん、
もっと大きなまちにすみたいです the 大きな is a word seperate from 大きい though it works similarly to an adjective 大きな is technically a prenoun meaning it always attaches to a noun. 大きな means big or great. So you could use either 大きい or 大きな in this situation though in my opinion 大きな is more common and therefore sounds more natural in this situation. The sentence means "I want to live in a bigger town"
いのちをたいせつにしましょう this one can be confusing cause again they are using a word they didn't fully teach. たいせつに is an adverb. It means something like "carefully" so いのちをたいせつにしましょう is saying "Let's do(live) life carefully"
I hope I helped someone.

Hi, I have two questions about this very interesting lesson:
- In the "Vocabulary" section there's this sentence: "もっと大きなまちにすみたいです。" Why are we using the particle な here, while in the same lesson we use the word "大きいまち" to indicate larger towns?
- What does the sentence "いのちをたいせつにしましょう。" mean? I understand the meaning of every word I think, but I'm not able to put them together to form a coherent meaning. I'm particularly confused by the particle "に" right before たいせつ.
Thanks a lot! :D
