TEXT:
Listen carefully and answer the questions.
My name is Simon and I am the father of three children. I love city life and I would like to live there, but I think that living in the countryside is better for children, especially now when they are still small. The school is not a problem, because we teach them at home and we want to continue it as long as possible.
Life in the village helps our children keep contact with nature. I am glad that my daughters can breathe fresh air and play outside with our dogs – Sisi and Dino.
My youngest daughter Lily is only 3 years old now. I think she really likes the village. She can go to the garden and pluck flowers or play with a ball. My older daughters Ann and Mia often play with her, but there are times when they prefer the company of our neighbors’ daughters because they are older.
Life in the village is quiet and easy. My wife and I do not have any livestock such as cows or pigs, however, our work is related to them. We are vets and people like us here, because they know that we can take good care of their animals just like we care about our dog.
