6. Read and 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.
