merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like vegetables,
fruits, eggs... He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in the town square. I love

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has
both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness.
Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young
children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to live outside the city. First, because there are fewer
people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the
evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a result,
you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole,
it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young or single people
who have a career are better provided for in the city.
1. According to the passage, living in the country has .
A. both good and bad points B. only bad points

Tokyo is a famous city. There are a few good buildings and impressive temples; there are a few parks worth
visiting. Everything has to be small in Tokyo: houses, rooms, shops. Long-side streets consist of tiny houses
only, and this often creates a toy-like, with small women tip-toeing along in their kimonos.
Tokyo at night is a very different place from Tokyo in daytime. Millions of neon lights are switched on and
