Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

There are many advantages and drawbacks of city life that you need to know before deciding whether to settle down there or not. Cities are large and highly populated areas and therefore often seem like very crowded places. Because the population is more concentrated, there are often traffic jams, packed public transportation and streets swarming with people in a rush. Pollution is one of the major problems caused by high population density. Motor vehicle emissions contribute to low quality of air and are a major component of smog in some large cities. Another thing to have in mind if you want to reside in urban areas is the high prices of accommodations. For the price of an apartment in the city, one can buy a large property in the country, with lots of indoor and also outdoor space.  At the same time, there are many advantages of living in the city. Everything you may need is close by starting with hospitals, banks, educational institutions, shops, etc. Cities also have a developed infrastructure like electricity, telecommunication, water and transportation facilities. While in the city you can get anywhere by public transportation or a taxi relatively quickly, to get anywhere in the countryside you have to have a vehicle and drive. If you are unemployed and are looking for a job, the city provides a lot more employment opportunities. High-paying jobs in finance, medicine, law, retail or advertising tend to be found in the cities. One can also work remotely, but that means fewer career options.

Consider carefully to have your own choice!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Twenty years ago, people tried to leave the suburbs for cities but nowadays many people are reluctant to make such a move. They say that compared to suburban areas, city life has many drawbacks.

The high cost of living is the first disadvantage. The bigger the city is, the higher the living cost is. Accommodation and petrol are expensive. Food and drinks are also pricey. Apart from that, city people seem to suffer from more noise and air pollution. The densely populated neighborhoods, busy traffic, and big construction sites make cities noisy and dusty. These are harmful to people's health, such as increasing their stress levels, disturbing their sleep and making them suffer from breathing problems. Lack of space is another drawback of city life. House prices are high in the city, so people tend to live in smaller houses or in apartment blocks. Many cities lack spaces for outdoor activities; therefore, teenagers often hang out at shopping malls or in entertainment complexes instead of doing sports outdoors.

The cities' authorities are trying to overcome these problems. However, they still have a long way to go before they can reduce living costs and pollution, and increase green space to make all cities in the world more liveable places.
