Imagine you're choosing a story for your school social media post “A city mouse or a country mouse?”. Your classmate has sent you a text on the topic. Sadly, as a result of a technical issue the heading is lost. Choose the best title for the story. There is a city mouse and a country mouse. The city mouse lives in a big city with heavy traffic and constant noise. It likes convenient public transport and enjoys going to different shops, cinemas and theatres. However, it does not like crowded streets and a high cost of living. The city mouse knows that there is a low rate of unemployment in the city, which means finding a job is easy. On the other hand, the country mouse lives in a small village with fresh air, peace and quiet. It loves beautiful landscapes and enjoys a more relaxed pace of life. The country mouse sometimes misses the biggest choice of shops and the best mobile coverage, but it is happy with a calm life in the country. It also appreciates good medical and dental services nearby. The city mouse and the country mouse are friends, but they live in very different places. Each place has pros and cons. The city has many activities, but the countryside has nature and tranquility. Where would you like to live?

You and your family are preparing for the visit to the farm. Study the map and choose the animals and vegetables you CANNOT find on the farm.

Imagine you and your family would like to live in a bigger flat or house. Help your parents choose what you will buy. Read the article and choose the advantages of living in a flat and in a house. Living in a house and living in a flat are very different experiences. When you live in a house, you often have more fresh air and peace and quiet. You can see beautiful gardens and lovely animals. A house can be far from the hustle and bustle of the city. This can make you feel isolated, but beautiful landscapes are wonderful. Living in a flat means being close to the city. You have convenient public transport, cinemas and theatres, and lots of facilities close at hand. There are a lot of schools and universities nearby too. However, you have to deal with noise, heavy traffic, and crowded streets. But you have faster access to medical services. So, both a house and a flat have good and bad points. It depends on what you like more: peace and quiet with fresh air or the hustle and bustle with everything close at hand.
