Alex

Last summer, I visited the capital city. It was amazing! The buildings were so
tall, some were incredibly modern. The streets were really busy, especially
during the day, with cars, buses, and lots of people walking on the wide
pavements. At night, the city was full of colourful lights. It was much noisier
than my hometown.

Mia

My favourite place is the small village where my grandparents live. It's in the
mountains, so the views are spectacular. There are green fields all around and
a peaceful river flows nearby. There are no tall buildings, just small houses and
ancient paths. It’s the most peaceful place I know. I walked along the narrow
paths every morning.

Sam

I went on a school trip to see some ancient ruins in the jungle. It felt mysterious
and enchanting. We saw parts of old stone walls covered in plants and huge
trees growing everywhere. Our guide told us stories about the people who lived
there long ago. We didn't see any modern buildings, just the incredible remains
of a lost city. It was quieter than the city but felt very exciting.

City Life vs. Countryside Life

Many people live in cities. Cities are often very busy and noisy. You can see tall
buildings, busy streets with lots of traffic lights, and many shops and offices.
Cities often have excellent hospitals and large shopping centres. However, city
life can be stressful because it's crowded and there isn't much green space.

Life in the countryside is very different. It is usually more peaceful and quieter
than the city. There are large fields, forests, and sometimes mountains or rivers.
The air is often cleaner. You won't find as many shops or big buildings, and
transport might be more difficult. People often feel more relaxed in the
countryside because it's closer to nature. Some find the countryside more
beautiful than the city because of the spectacular natural views.
