Sample writing:

In my opinion, life in the countryside

has many good points. Firstly, country

folk are friendlier than city folk.

Secondly, life is slower and simpler than

in the city.

The food is fresher and the air is cleaner.

Finally, there are lots of traditional

activities that we can do in the

countryside such as horse-riding,

swimming in the river or kite-flying.

For these reasons, I like country life.
