NOISY NEIGHBORS

Do you sometimes have problems with your neighbor such as noise or littering? Well, the people of Pilton Somerset, England have such problems every summer. For three or four days every year, the village is full of people of all ages who come here for the annual Glastonbury pop music festival. They usually stay in tents, caravans and motorhomes. They leave drink cans and papers all over the street. The music plays until the early hours of the morning, and you can hear people talking and singing all night. The quiet country village becomes a nightmare to live in and some villagers are even thinking of moving to another village. A villager said that last year; “I don’t want to stop the Glastonbury Festival. I just want the fans to enjoy the festival without disturbing normal village life”.

What is Pilton like during the rest of the year?

Read the passage, and then answer the questions.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factories or schools everyday by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and come home later in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Although one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night, and during weekends. In summer evenings one enjoys the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden.

- Notes:

even though/ although : mặc dù

- advantage (n) : (sự) thuận lợi

- rent (v) : thuê mướn

- dig (v) : đào bới, xới

- water (v) : tưới nước

- of one’s own : của riêng mình

Hi! I'm Monica and I'm 19 years old. I live in the capital of England, London and I love this town. There are many places to visit, so I never get bored. I love listening to music, so I often attend concerts and go to places with live music. Next to my house is a cinema, which I visit on Saturday evenings every weekend with my friends. Bus station and train station are also in the nearing, so I can easily commute to school. In Warsaw there are a lot of restaurants and café, so you'll never be hungry here. I really like shopping, so I often buy clothes in very big shopping malls.

Living in a big city also has a few drawbacks. Everywhere is a lot of people, especially in the subway. There is a lot of traffic and the air is very polluted because of car fumes. There are also a lot of attractions for tourists, for example, built in the 19th century: Tower Bridge, Big Ben and the Madame Tussauds museum with wax figures of famous people.

I encourage you to visit London so that you can fall in love with this town, too!
