As soon as the school finishes I often go home immediately. My cousin, who studies in the same school, usually comes over on Wednesday evening and we play chess with each other. Unlike me, he is very good at this game. I have learnt a lot from him. I think playing chess improves my intelligence and critical thinking. It is a very useful sport.

Mango, 14

I love painting. That’s why I attend the art club at my school every Tuesday and Friday. We have a teacher, and she often encourages us to paint our way.

Living in the countryside is much better than living in a big city. You can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and spend lots of time outdoors. In the city, there is much less space for outdoor activities. What’s more, people in the countryside are generally nicer. It is common that you know everyone in your village, whereas in the city you may not even know your next door neighbour’s name. This is partly because people in the city are too busy with their work. In the countryside, the living standard is not too high, so there is less pressure to earn much money. Therefore, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed. Social safety is another advantage. Crime rate is normally lower in the country compared to that in big cities. This is particularly important for families with small children. All in all, living in the countryside is the best choice.
