IV. Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answers the question about the passage.
Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it
has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness.
Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for
young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city. First, because there are
fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly
in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs.
As a result, you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the
whole, it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young or
single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.
