The village is quiet and life here is slow and easy. You never have to queue in shops or stores. People never throw their rubbish in the streets, so the village is always clean. The air is also very clean because there’s not much heavy traffic. It’s much more friendly here than in a city. Everyone knows everyone and if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help. However, there are some things I don’t like about Uat Lam. One thing is that there’s not much to do in the evening. We haven’t got any cinemas or theatres. Another problem is that people always talk about each other and everyone knows what everyone is doing. But I still prefer village life to life in a big city. * Statements: 1/ Villagers have to queue in shops or stores. ________________________________________ 2/ The village is always kept clean. ____________________________________________ 3/ Villages are very friendly and helpful. _______________________________________ 4/ There is much entertainment in Uat Lam. _____________________________________ 5/ The writer doesn’t like village life. __________________________________________ Good luck to you !
