Some people might choose to live in a sleepy village beside woods and lakes,but others enjoy the bright lights and fast pace of the big city.Stephen and Marianna have got different stories.
| Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a small flat in London.I chose to live here because there is never a b 1 moment in a city like London.I’m an art student and the busy life in a city does good to my painting.In addition,I can get everything I need so close at hand.Living beside the underground station means that I don’t need a car to get around.It’s 2 me money.Also there are malls,cinemas,libraries and museums everywhere. Of course,London,like any large city,has p 3 ,too.Londoners don’t chat on the underground or the bus and there is much less community spirit than in the country,where my parents live.In fact,they don’t understand how I can put up with(忍受)the noise and pollution,and traffic jams.However,I see that as a small price to p 4 .As a famous saying goes,“He who is tired of London is tired of life.” |
| Hello! My name is Marianna and I live in Australia,on a huge ranch(牧场).It’s a beautiful area with wonderful scenery.I live here with my husband Joe and our t 5 children.Patrick,11.and Abby,8.We have lived on this ranch for several years and we love our healthy lifestyle.The children have lots of s 6 to run around and enjoy the peace and quiet.The air is clean and fresh.We produce a lot of our own food which is nice and healthy.There’s lots of hard work to do running a ranch,but we don’t mind. Of course,country life also has weak points.We feel isolated(孤立的)sometimes,too,especially since the n 7 neighbors are almost l00 km away.One more trouble is that we can’t get many things as easily as we do in the city.There are no schools,supermarkets or shops,and if we are ill we have to call the flying doctor.Although life here can be difficult,we wouldn’t change it for the world. |
