Write the words from the unit that correspond with the phrases in brackets.

Town and Country
Some people prefer to live in (towns and cities), while others prefer to live in (the countryside), away from built-up areas. Many leave the countryside to live in big cities, resulting in (far fewer people living) in rural areas. This can also result in problems in the cities. For example, there are often (too many people living) in a small area and (too many vehicles) on the road, resulting in excessive air pollution. Some cities, such as many in China, are (huge urban areas) with populations that are fairly homogenous, while others, such as London, contain a (wide) mix of people from different countries and cultures. Some towns are expanding rapidly and
(taking over areas that were once part of the countryside), resulting, in many such places, in the lack of proper infrastructural facilities.
