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

My name is John. I come from a small village and in my view, living in the countryside has lots of benefits. Firstly, I prefer village life is because it’s very quiet, so I always feel calm when I’m here. Secondly, the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and bigger gardens, too. Thirdly, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally, I’m interested in wildlife photography, so the countryside is perfect for me.

      The only disadvantage 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.
