Changing places
Moving to a new city can be a big challenge but it can bring lots of
exciting new opportunities, too. Here’s the experience of one student.
With so many more students at the school, I’ve met a lot of people. I
have some really good friends who I spend a lot of time with, 4
.I
try to message them most days, and we chat when I’m gaming
online. They tell me about what’s happening back in Wales.
Living in a city isn’t always easy, though. There are definitely some
negative things, 5
. I sometimes miss the peace and quiet of my
old home. Where we used to live, we could just walk out onto the
hills from our back door. That was quite a special thing to be able to
do. Having said that, there are lots of things that I can do here that I
just couldn’t do in my village – go to big concerts, watch football
matches, go shopping.
I suppose the best thing about moving to a new place is that you get
the chance to try out new things. I’ve got more chance to meet
people and live a more interesting life. Although 6
, and one day I
might move back, right now I want to be in a big city where
everything is just much more exciting.
