A. Do you prefer to be in a quiet room alone, or do you like a noisy family room? For me, the noisiest place is the most friendly, and so my favourite room is the kitchen.
(1) …… a large room, and my family spend a lot of their time there. In the middle of the room (2)…… a big wooden table where we all meet to have our meal. At other times my brother and I do our homework there, or just sit and chat.
The kitchen reflects our busy live. (3) …… always messy, because we don’t have time to tidy up. (4) …… notes all over the fridge, reminding us to do things. Near the washing machine (5) …… bags of sports clothes that we need to wash for the next football match or swimming lesson.
Although (6) …… a busy and untidy place, I love this room. (7) …… the centre of our house, and you can always find someone there to talk. I wouldn’t change it for anything!
B. (8)…… several important advantages of living in a big city. The most obvious one is if you live in a big city, everything is very convenient and you never have to travel far to buy anything. In addition, (9)…… always lots of things to do. For instance, you can see all the latest films, exhibitions and concerts. Also, (10)…… plenty of buses and taxis so (11)…… always very easy to get around. However, (12)……also disadvantages. (13)……plenty of buses and taxis but that also means that you have to put up with all the traffic noise and congestion and pollution too. That can be harmful to your health and it may also be difficult to find cheap accommodation which can make city life very expensive. High prices may make it impossible for you to buy a property or to rent one. Finally some people think that (14)…… safer to live in the countryside than in a big city. However, in my opinion, the advantages of living in a big city will always outweigh the disadvantages.
