Read the following passage and decide if the statements are true (T), false (F), or not given (NG). The countryside of England in the summer is like a large well-kept garden that stretches on forever. For centuries landowners and local people have turned every part of England into something unusual in landscapes and local cultures. The countryside of England today shows the wealth of landowners and success of people who tried to escape the luxury of city life. According to a recent survey, some 80% of Britain’s population dream of living in the countryside, while only 20% actually live there. English village communities are small and often eccentric. They are, however warm and usually welcoming. They also show the local charms of the ‘English character’. The local post office or shop is the communications hub of every village. They also hold pubs and the village pub offers an opportunity for new comers to get to know local culture. But the heart of many rural communities remains a village church. Around these churches there are many community activities, from village funfair, council meetings to flower arranging. (Source: https://expatica.com) Statements 1.
