II. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
Many people enjoy living in a big city because they think life is more exciting there.
However, I come from a small village and in my view, there are lots of benefits. The main
reason I prefer village life is because it’s very quiet, so 1 always feel calm when I’m here.
Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and bigger
gardens, too. In addition, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally, I’m interested in
wildlife photography, so the countryside is perfect for me.
The only downside is transport. I have an early start for a long journey to school in Faro
and the school bus is always stopping to pick up more people. Also, it’s boring sometimes,
but I enjoy chatting to my friends. Fortunately, I’m learning to ride a moped. On balance, I
disagree that city life is better, as I think my village lifestyle is healthier and more relaxing.
In spite of that, some of my friends couldn’t cope with life in the country, so it comes
down to personal opinion.

A. a big city B. a small village C. a countryside D. a small town

A. it’s very noisy B. the air is so fresh and clean
C. life is more exciting there D. village lifestyle is healthier

A. friendlier B. boring C. exciting D. kind
29. According to the writer, what is the disadvantage of living in the village?
A. weather B. facilities C. transport D. service

A. bicycle B. train C. moped D. school bus
