III Read the following passage and then choose the best answer by circling its corresponding letter A, B, C or D (1,0 point)
The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I could see them all come and go and each one was completely different If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference - now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain times of the year - for example strawberries in June and turnips in winter I lived my childhood with the seasons
Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food Everything was fresh - so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city City people may think people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them - they miss real life
