You're going to move to a new house. What do you know about life in the country or in the city? Read the text and mark the statements as true (T), false (F) or not stated (NS).

Where would you like to live? Some people like living in the countryside, while others choose to live in big and busy cities.

Living in a city is exciting. There are a lot of advantages and opportunities. For example, you can find a lot of malls in your neighbourhood, where you can buy everything you need at a low price. You can also go to the cinema or theatre with your friends when you want, have lunch in the restaurant and order something for dinner at your house. In addition, you can take part in plenty of events, such as concerts or festivals and meet many interesting people.

What about education? There are a lot of opportunities. Schools are modern and amazing. You have all facilities, such as lockers, computer rooms, a swimming pool, a huge school gym and high-tech classrooms. Then you can enter college or university. There are so many choices. After all, do you know that there is a low rate of unemployment in big cities?

But living in a big city is not only about advantages. Some people lead unhealthy lifestyles here because they are too busy with their work or education. Another disadvantage is constant noise and pollution. You can hear the traffic all night and become a bit nervous and tired. The streets are always crowded, so you may want to move somewhere more peaceful and quiet.
