City or country
1
BEFORE
YOU ST
ART
There are many advantages and disadvantages of living in the city or in
the country. First, when we talk about the country we can say that you
have the opportunity to escape from all the noise and the general
routine. In the country you can breathe fresh air without
pollution.

Also you feel safe and you can always do physical exercises, like riding a
bicycle or walking while in the city you need your car to go everywhere.

However, we need to think that living in the city has its benefits too. You
can go shopping anytime you want to. Many stores are opened twenty-
four hours a day. There is plenty of public transportation so, you don't
need a car to get round. You never get bored in the city, because there's
always something to do. On the other hand, the cost of living in the city
is really expensive, prices are very high.

In the end, we can say that living in the

country and living in the city have
a d va n t a g e s a n d d i s a d -
vantages depending on
your lifestyle and
personality.

A. Find out the following words or

phrases in the text that mean:

1. Positive things or benefits of living in the country (n) ________________

2. Uncomfortable sounds (n) ____________________
3. Activities you repeat everyday (n) ______________________
4. To go from one place to another (v) _________________________
5. The way we live (n) _____________________

B. Based on the text above, make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of living
either in the country or in the city.
Advantages Disadvantages

City

Country

C. Answer these questions in your notebook. Discuss with the class.

1. What's your opinion about living in the country?
2. What other advantages and disadvantages can you think of?
3. Which other places to live in you can think of?
