VII/ Read the passage and then decide whether the sentences are True (T) or False.
City life has its advantages and disadvantages and so does country life; however,


there seems to be an increased interest in the country, especially among young families.
If you are thinking about moving to the country as well but are not sure if it is a good
idea, it may help to look at the benefits of country life. In the country, you are woken up
by the singing of the birds rather by the noise from the traffic. Homes in the countryside
are surrounded by nature which has a shooting effect on both the mind and the body. Due
to virtual absence of cars and factories, you will not be breathing any potentialliy toxic
fumes in the country. Clean air is one of the main advantages of country life over city
dwelling. In the country, everyone knows everyone and people actually say ‘hello’.
Communities in the country are much smaller but they are more connected and open.
People in the country are really friendlier and are prepared to help without asking
anything in return.
