to visit a farm of Nick’s uncle.

After lunch, they all went for a walk. In the large yard of the farm, they saw
some farm machines. Among them is the biggest machine which is called a combine
harvester. They were told that this machine can cut and thresh corn at the same time.

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream
about.

However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.

There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can enjoy
peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further advantage is
that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city.
First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition,
entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that
there are fewer shops and services means that it is hard to find jobs.
In short, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others.
On the whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young
children. In contrast, young people who have a career are better provided in the city.

IV. Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Hi! My name is Marek. I’ve been staying in England on an exchange visit and
I’ve found it a very interesting experience. I’ve been staying with a boy called Peter
and his family for two weeks. The first thing I learnt was how to great English
people. When I met Peter and his parents at the airport, I tried to kiss them on the
cheeks. His parents looked a bit shocked but let me kiss them. Peter just smiled and
said “Hi!”.
The city where they live is very interesting, and is much bigger than my small
village. I’ve never seen so many motorways, and there’s a recycling bin on every
corner. It’s really noisy, tough, and there are so many cars that they need to have
traffic lights everywhere.
I like it here but I think I still prefer the countryside. There are more trees and
animals, and not so many factories.
In all, I’ve learnt a lot from my exchange but I’ll be glad to get back to Poland. I
wonder what Peter will think when he comes to stay here!
1. How long has Marek been in England?

2. How did he greet Peter’s parents at the airport?

3. What hasn’t Marek seen before?

4. Does Marek prefer cities or the countryside?

5. Where does Marek come from?
