often think about before traveling is how other cultures bathe. And bathrooms in many countries may be
________________________________________________________________
different from the kind you are used to. ________________________________________________________________
In the United States, most people take a shower once a day in the morning. The showerhead is usually ________________________________________________________________
mounted on the wall and cannot be moved. The bather simply stands under the water, gets wet, scrubs with soap
and often a washcloth, and then rinses off. ________________________________________________________________
Children often take a bath each night and enjoy playing with small toys such as boats and rubber ducks. ________________________________________________________________
Many adults, especially women, enjoy a soothing bath to get rid of stress at the end of the day.
It is important to remember that when you take a shower or bath in the United States, you should be careful
________________________________________________________________
to keep the water inside the bathtub or shower. Unlike bathrooms in many countries, there is no drain in the ________________________________________________________________
floor. If water gets on the floor it cannot go anywhere and must be cleaned up with a towel or mop. It can also
cause problems for the floor. So be careful.

 you could possibly ask for. However, living far from the "civilization" also means living far from the shops,
schools, pharmacies and other things city dwellers take for granted.
Many people who live in villages and market towns will say that city dwellers have more privacy and they
are partly right. In the country, everyone knows everyone and everyone knows everything about everyone.
People in the country are friendlier and more open but they are people. This means that they are naturally
curious and that they may want to know too much about your personal stuff. But then again, people will only be
as intrusive as you allow them to be.
Living in the country offers a number of benefits over city dwelling but it is not as idyllic as many people
think it is. You are recommended to take time and think things through before you decide to move to the
country and buy an old farmhouse. Also, keep in mind that you can also buy a small cottage with a lovely wood
burning stove to have a place of your own to retreat when you need a break from the city.

2. Give your own opinion for the following idea:

Answer:
I agree with the statement. For starters, men are usually more obsessed with gadgets. They are more like
children with the way they want to play with the latest gizmos and learn all their new functions. They are
constantly playing with their new toys. I also think that gadgets are a kind of ego for men. I mean they often
compare their new toys with each other to see who has a best one. Women, on the other hand, are more
practical and see devices more rationally as a means to communicate with others or to perform a particular
function. Of course, this is pretty stereotyped but it seems to hold true for most men and women.
