Read the passage about the countryside in Britain and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions.Besides its beauty, the countryside of Britain is well known for its many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. National parks which are protected from development by the government have the most beautiful and picturesque scenery. British people often associate the countryside with farmland, open spaces like fields of wheat and barley, green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls in which cows or sheep are raised. Most farmland is now owned by individual people or independent companies. However, the government has built a network of public footpaths across the farmland. Many British people enjoy the peace and relaxation of life in the countryside where they can spend their free time walking, cycling, or going for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer they can pick strawberries and other fruit in fruit farms. Nowadays, few rural people work on farms. Many of them commute to work in towns. Many others wish to live in the countryside so that they could have a better and healthier lifestyle. Question 6. The countryside of Britain is NOT famous for its ______________
Question 7. Individual people or independent companies own ______________.
Question 8. Many British people think the countryside goes with ______________. Question 9. The word "commute" in the passage is closest in meaning to ______________.

III. Read the passage about the countryside in America and tick (✓) T (True) or F (False) for each sentence.Few Americans live in the areas of wild and beautiful scenery, like the Western states of Montana and Colorado. We often see small farms surrounded by hills and green areas in the New England states, such as Vermont and New Hampshire. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and other Midwestern states, there are very large fields of corn or wheat with great distances between towns. About a quarter of Americans live outside cities and towns because life there is harder. Shops, post offices, hospitals, schools, etc. may be further away and it takes rural people a very long time to get there. However, many people choose to live in the countryside because of its safe, clean, and attractive environment. But their children often move to a town or city when they grow up. Question 11. A large number of people live in the areas in the West, such as Montana and Colorado. Question 12. There are very large fields of corn or wheat in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and other Midwestern states. Question 13. The majority of Americans live outside cities or towns. Question 14.

My name is Marek. I’ve been staying in England on an exchange visit and I’ve found it a very interesting experience. I’ve been staying with a boy called Peter and his family for two weeks. The first thing I learnt was how to greet English people. When I met Peter and his parents at the airport, I tried to kiss them on the cheeks. His parents looked a bit shocked but let me kiss them. Peter just smiled and said “Hi!”. The city where they lived is very interesting, and is much bigger than my small village. I’ve never seen so many motorways, and there’s a recycling bin on every corner. It’s really noisy, though, and there are so many cars that they need to have traffic lights everywhere! I like it here but I think I still prefer the countryside. There are more trees and animals, and not so many factories.
