City Life and Country
Life
1. The village and the city.
I
think a village life is better because it more
peaceful and relaxing. In a city one is
always
running around with the clock-life seems more
hectic. Maybe there is more to
do in a city
life than in a village life when it comes to
entertainment. But being in a
village where
life can be more relaxing is nicer. If you like a
fast life with a lot of
exposure to libraries,
swimming pools, movie theatre, ATMs etc. then city
is cool.
are the differences between the
jobs in the villages and the city?
I think
jobs in the city and village are very different.
The first difference is that in the
villages
many people are farmers. Their work is mainly
physical labor and this is very
hard work.
They have to work outside all days. Their work is
also very seasonal. Most
of their work doesn’t
involves many skills and they don’t make much
money. They
live on what they grow. In the
city, there are all kinds of jobs for all kinds of
people to
do. People work all the year round.
Some jobs are thought to be low and poorly paid
while some jobs pay well and requires skills
and education.
are the different kinds
of transport used in the villages and cities?
The means of transportation in the cities and
villages are quite different from each
other.
In the cities, it’s usually very convenient to
travel by bus, by car, by subway or
by taxi.
The roads and services are always good. In the
villages, the farmers ride their
bikes or walk
around because wherever they go, it’s not far.
They take buses to go to
far places. Sometimes
they have to wait for hours for the next bus.
4. What are the different types of housing in
the villages and cities?
Housing in the cities
and villages are very different too. In cities
most people live in
apartment buildings while
villagers live in the houses they make for
themselves. The
Buildings in cities are
usually well equipped with the modern facilities
while houses

in the countryside are big, with fewer good
things like city people have. The
residential
areas in the cities are always crowed with people
while in the countryside,
the houses are
dotted here and there in the village.
5.
What are the different things people do in their
spare time?
In the city there are many things
people can do in their spare time. Young people
can
go shopping go the cinema and they can go
out and try different styles of food in
restaurants. In their spare time people should
also go to the gym to keep fit and
healthy. In
the countryside people have far fewer choices. In
their spare time they can
stay outdoors to
enjoy nature more, go fishing, running or
climbing, or just sit there
chatting.
6. Do you think the quality of life is better
in the city or in the villages?
Yes, I think
so. The quality of life in the city is much better
because apartments are
very comfortable and
well equipped. In the winter we have central
heating to keep us
warm. Also there are very
good schools and hospitals in cities. Compared
with the
countryside, most people in the city
are very well off. The quality of life in the
countryside is worse due to the lack of good
schools, hospitals, shops, transportation,
entertainment and many other things our daily
life requires.
you ever been to the
countryside? If yes, what was it like in the
countryside?
Yes, I’ve been to the
countryside several times. We used to spend our
short holidays
there in summer. It was in the
northern mountain area, about 2 hours ride from
Beijing. We in the family hotel run by the
farmers. It was very beautiful and natural in
the country. The air was fresh and so were the
vegetables. We went to the farm to
water and
harvest crops. We went picnic and camping and
fishing. We always enjoy
ourselves when we
went to the countryside. Now I’m too busy to spend
holidays in
the country. Next summer, I might
go with my parents.
