THE COUNTRYSIDE THROUGH VISITORS' EYES

- There was so much space! We could run around the fields and shout out loud without disturbing anybody. (_Dennis from London)_

_- _Swimming in the river, picking blackberries, collecting honey from beehives ... I have never had a more interesting vacation. (_Julie from Paris)_

_- _No running water. No electricity. And the only entertainment centre is miles away. Can't stay here any longer! (_Phirun from Phnom Penh)_
_- _I love the vast open spaces, the fresh air and the feeling of freedom in the countryside. They are experiences I can never have in Seoul. (_Yumi from Seoul)_

_- _I don't mind visiting those street markets where the locals sell their home-made products. However, city life is more exciting. (_Emi from Tokyo)_

_- _Last week I went on a trip to the countryside and had my first experience of farm work: digging holes, planting vegetables and collecting tomatoes. Unforgettable! (_Lan from Ha Noi)_

_- _Country life doesn't excite me at all. So boring and inconvenient. (_Bob from Hong Kong_ )

Discuss and share your replies with the class.
@ Phirun: I think you should enjoy the fresh air and the simple lifestyle in the countryside instead of complaining. It is also a unique experience.

@ Julie: Wow! I wish I can experience such an amazing summer vacation like you did.

@ Dennis: You must be in the countryside, there is no place like this in a city.

@ Emi: I totally agree with you. Life in the city is more convenient and suitable for youngsters like us.

@ Lan: Wow! It sounds really interesting! Where did you go to?
