Reading. Task 1. Read the text and do the tasks below.



My name is Peter. I live in the countryside, in a cottage which is over 100 years old. The cottage is near a small village. I love living here because it's calm. There aren't many cars or buses, the streets are clean. You can even leave your doors open; nobody will steal anything.

We know all the neighbours and at the end of the day people get together at the main square and chat. We go to bed early, as there isn't much to do in the evening. There isn't any disco, theater or cinema. We also don't have a museum or a youth club. However, the children can play in the streets or in the fields and they can have animals.

You can sleep very well because there is no noise. You can hear the birds singing or the rain pouring. The air is pure and cool and you can see millions of stars.

It is a bit difficult in winter. Sometimes it snows a lot and then we are isolated for a few days. Despite this I like living in the countryside.



Answer the questions.

1. Where does Peter live?

2. Where is the cottage?

3. Why does Peter love living in the countryside?

4. What do people do at the end of the day?
