2. Write a paragraph (60-80 words) about what you like OR dislike about life in the countryside:
Suggested ideas:
LIKE | DISLIKE |
- low cost of living - beautiful scenery - people are friendly and helpful,….. | - not many entertainment places - It is not easy to find job - hard life,…. |
I love living in the countryside because it's not expensive, and I can enjoy the simple life. The views are so pretty with green fields and peaceful scenery. People here are really nice, always ready to lend a hand or share a friendly chat. It feels like a big family where everyone cares about each other. In short, life in the countryside is slower, and that makes me happy. There is no rush, just friendly faces and beautiful nature around.
