Living in the country has both advantages and disadvantages. There are certainly many advantages to live in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness. The air in the countryside is often fresher than in the city. Second, people tend to be friendlier. They live not very far from the others; they know each other very well. If someone needs help, they are ready to help anytime. Moreover, there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children. However, there are certain disadvantages to life outside the city. First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Moreover, education seems to be less developed than it in the city. Therefore, the children are less accessed to the modern technology. On the whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children to live in the country. In contrast, young people who have a career are better provided in the city.

II. Read the text. Then answer the questions (1.0 point)

In Scotland, the biggest celebration of the year is ‘Hogmanay’. Hogmanay is the Scottish word for New Year’s Eve. On 31^st December in Edinburgh, there is an enormous firework display at the castle, and they play live music in the park. Thousands of people gather in the streets, cafes and bars. Then, at 12 o’clock, church bells ring all over the city.

After midnight, people go ‘first footing’. This is a Scottish custom that dates back hundreds of years. First footing is visiting your neighbours after midnight on New Year’s Eve. The visitors must step into the house with their right foot first, to bring good luck. Traditionally the visitors bring three gifts: a piece of coal, a piece of ‘shortbread’ (Scottish biscuit) and a little whisky. The gifts symbolize warmth, food and happiness. If the first person who visits your home after midnight is a man with dark hair, that is particularly lucky!
