A CITY SLICKER OR A COUNTRY LOVER?
STEPHEN
“Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a tiny small( tiny, small ) flat in Brixton, south-west London. I chose to live here because there is never a dull boring( dull, boring ) moment in a city like London. I’m an art student and the hustle and bustle of so many people in one area is the inspiration for a lot of my painting. Another advantage disadvantage( advantage, disadvantage ) of city life is having everything you need so close near( close, near ) at hand. Living beside the Tube station means I don’t need a car to get around, which saves gives( saves, gives ) me money. Also, there are shopping centres, art galleries and museums everywhere.
Of course, London, like any large big( large, big ) city has its problems, too. Londoners don’t chat on the Tube or the bus and there is much less community spirit soul( spirit, soul ) than in the country, where my parents live. In fact, they don’t understand how I can put up with the constant noise sound( noise, sound ) and pollution, and traffic congestion. However, I see that as a small tiny( small, tiny ) price to pay. I’m in my element here in the heart of this fine nice( fine, nice ) city. As a famous poet once said, ‘He who is tired of London is tired of life.’”

MARIANNA
“Hello – or ‘G’day’, as we say down under. My name is Marianna and I live in New Old( New, Old ) South Wales, Australia, on a huge big( huge, big ) ranch called The Rain River Land. It’s a beautiful area with fantastic scenery. I live here with my husband Joe and our two children, Patrick, 11, and Abby, 8.
We have lived on this ranch for several years and love our healthy steady( healthy, steady ) lifestyle. We have 70,000 hectares of land, so the children have lots of space to run around and enjoy the peace and quiet. The air is clean clear( clean, clear ) and fresh refresh( fresh, refresh ) and we produce a lot of our own food so we are sure that what we eat is fresh. There’s lots of hard work to do running a ranch, but we don’t mind.
Of course, there are some negative aspects to life out here there( here, there ). There are often droughts in Australia, and sometimes we can’t grow any crops cops( crops, cops ) for months. We feel isolated sometimes, too, especially since the nearest closest( nearest, closest ) neighbors are almost 100km away. Another problem is that many things are not as easily available as in the city. There are no local facilities buildings( facilities, buildings ) such as schools, supermarkets and shops, and if we are ill we have to call the flying doctor. Although life here can be difficult, we wouldn’t change it for the world planet( world, planet ).”
