It was in 2005 that David, then a 30-year-old accountant, announced that he
13
was bored with Bristol and wanted a rural lite.
I struggled to understand his desire to leave. We enjoyed an active social life,
receiving countless invitations to other families’ houses with the children and we
loved to host our own dinner parties too. With my parents' help we were both able
to continue our passion for triathlons.
Life wasn’t always perfect: Bella hardly slept, so neither did I. I was
committed to a tiring two-hour daily commute.
Sleep-deprived, silly things would stress me out: there was no lift to reach our
flat and, on my own, it was impossible to get two toddlers with their buggies up
the stairs.
Over time. I convinced myself that a move to the country was the right thing to
do; this was my husband, after all, the father of my children. Quite simply, I’d go
to the ends of the earth for him. We'd start again. Somewhere beautiful.

V. Read the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F):
Many people from rural areas are leaving behind their traditional ways of life and moving to the city.
They believe that well-paying jobs are plentiful in the city.
At home on the farm, life is always a struggle with nature. Typhoons, floods or droughts can easily
destroy a harvest and leave the farmer with little or no money until the following year. Often farmers
look for other works when they need more money for their families.
The increase in population, however, has led to overcrowding in many cities. This puts a strain on
schools and hospitals, as well as water and electricity supplies. Increased pollution is another unpleasant
result. There is also a human side to this tragedy. Families sometimes have to live apart. In these cases,
children may live at home with relatives, while their parents go and live in an urban area.
Governments all over the world are trying to provide facilities for these migrants, but it can be quite
a problem.
