I live in a small village called Vinh An. There are about 700 people here. I love the village because it is very quiet and life is slow and easy. You have never to queue in shops or banks.
People never throw rubbish in the streets, so the village is always clean – people often look after it with great care. The air is always fresh too. The people here are much more friendly here than in a city because everyone knows everyone else, and if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help.However, there is one thing I don't like about my village is that there is not much to do in the evening. We haven't got any cinemas or theaters. But I still prefer village life to life in a big city

Read the text carefully, then answer the questions.
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 I 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.
