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.

Hello . My name’s Nga. I live in a village in Vinh Phuc Province. It’s about sixty kilometres from Ha Noi. The village is small and quiet. The village is small and quiet. There are not many people, shops and traffic. I enjoy living here because life is peaceful and the people are friendly. At weekends, my parents often take me to Ha Noi. It’s much noisier and busier. It has lots of large lakes, beautiful parks and tall buidings. The streets are so crowded and things are more expensive. I like Ha Noi because the shops are really nice and life is exciting.

What’s life in the village like?

A. It’s exciting.    

B. It’s peaceful.

My life in the Arcitic

Dear Luna,

I am your new penfriend and I want to tell you about my life. I live with my parents and grandparents. I've got two younger brothers, Cora and Ella, who are two and four years old. I live in a village near the city of Barrow in Alaska. It is quite famous because it is the most northern city on the North American continent. We are in the Arcitic, so I suppose my life here is very different from yours in England. Here, in winter, there is normally very thick snow. It's very cold. The temperature is about minus 30 degrees! During winter, the sky is dark all the time, even in the day, but the white snow on the ground gives us light to see. Sometimes we can see beautiful colours in the sky, too. This is called the Northern lights.
