There are many advantages and drawbacks of city life that you need to know before deciding

whether to settle down there or not.

Cities are large and highly populated areas and therefore often seem like very crowded places.

Because the population is more concentrated, there are often traffic jams, packed public

transportation and streets swarming with people in a rush. Pollution is one of the major problems

caused by high population density. Motor vehicle emissions contribute to low quality of air and are a

major component of smog in some large cities. Another thing to have in mind if you want to reside in

urban areas is the high prices of accommodations. For the price of an apartment in the city, one can

buy a large property in the country, with lots of indoor and also outdoor space.

At the same time, there are many advantages of living in the city. Everything you may need is

close by starting with hospitals, banks, educational institutions, shops, etc. Cities also have a

developed infrastructure like electricity, telecommunication, water and transportation facilities. While

in the city you can get anywhere by public transportation or a taxi relatively quickly, to get anywhere

in the countryside you have to have a vehicle and drive. If you are unemployed and are looking for a

job, the city provides a lot more employment opportunities. High-paying jobs in finance, medicine,

law, retail or advertising tend to be found in the cities. One can also work remotely, but that means

fewer career options.

Consider carefully to have your own choice!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.

Community service is a very important factor when it comes to bettering your society. Through
my own experiences and observations, I have come to support my opinion on this issue.

My experience that supports this theory involved my job last summer of 2004. I paced around
the house for a while. Finally, I decided to sit down and read the newspaper. There was a section on
the community which contained a list of volunteer activities. They ranged from helping in soup
kitchens to helping as an electrician.

I called a number and decided to spend my time taking care of the grocery shopping for an
elderly handicapped woman. She has since become a good friend. Finally, I was spending my time
having fun. I was making a difference in one woman’s life. It may not have paid in dollars. The
experience and pleasure I gained was more valuable to me than any amount of money I could have
earned.

Even more significant is the value and importance of community service in our society. Without

community service in our society, many people would not know the importance of charity. Serving in

your community takes away some of the problems that exist in your society and in the world as a

whole.

In conclusion, I believe that choosing to help your community through community service should

be very important to you. It is also important to the people around you. I feel that helping in your

community to benefit others will bring you good things. You will also make the person you helped feel

cared about. 36. The text is mainly about.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.

Some people prefer the quiet life of the countryside. However, cities have many benefits over
villages.

Firstly, city life is very convenient. Children growing up in villages do not have as much access to
education as children in cities. Villages may not have enough children to create a school system that
goes all the way through high school; these kids must go to cities to continue their education. Cities

have multiple forms of education such as colleges and universities. More libraries and museums are
available in cities. Entertainment is readily accessible in cities in the form of movie theaters,
amusement parks and restaurants.

Secondly, the city provides better healthcare. Villages may have a local doctors’ clinic, but cities
often have multiple hospitals and doctors specializing in even rare conditions. In a city, ambulances

and firetrucks may take only minutes to arrive at the scene. In villages, getting to a hospital in an

emergency may take precious time.

Finally, it’s easier for people to have a good job and pursue their career. Villages have a smaller

population than cities, so there are fewer jobs available. Living in the city provides people with

thousands of career choices. Professionals have access to large businesses, hospitals and educational

facilities for work opportunities. People with less education can more readily find jobs in customer

service or entry-level jobs. Even specialized jobs and careers focused around the arts are viable in a

city with a large population.

I think cities bring lots of benefits to their residents. As city populations increase, so do

businesses. People have fast access to their needs and wants in cities. As time passes, more and more

people all over the world leave villages and move to cities, seeking a new life.
