It was in 2005 that David, then a 30 year old accountant, announced that he was bored with Bristol and wanted a rural life.

I struggled to understand his desire to leave. we enjoyed an active social life, receiving countless invitations to other families' houses with the children and we loved to host our own dinner parties too. with my parents' help we were both able to continue our passion for triathlons.

Life wasn't always perfect: bella hardly slept, so neither did I. I was committed to a tiring 2 hour daily commute.

Sleep-deprived, silly things would streess me out: there was no lift to reach our flat and, on my own, it was impossible to get two toddlers with buggies up the stairs.

Over time, I conviced myself taht a move to the country was the right thing to do; this was my husband, after all, the father of my children. quite simply, I'd go to the ends of the earth for him. we'd start again. somewhere beautiful.

Visual pollution has a greater effect on people than you may think. I remember when I went to a big city, I was really scared because so much graffiti on the building's wall. Then I looked up, and I saw a lot of power lines over my head. Although they were not dangerous, I still felt unsafe since I thought they might fall down. These things prevented me from enjoying the beautiful sights of the city.

I also remember the time when I was a student at a university. Once I was so busy with my assignments that I did not tidy my room for two weeks. Looking at the messy room caused me so much stress that I did not want to study. Then I decided to clean the room and put my thing in their proper places. I also bought a small plants and placed it in a corner of the room. These simple actions increased my motivation and helped me to focus on my learning

Questions.

1. How did the author feel when she saw the power lines?

2. Why did she have that feeling?

3. What was she busy with?

4. What happened when she looked the messy room?
