the computer too much, you will not have time for our family and friends. In short, computers
should only be used for a limited time.

The adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
 My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like vegetables, fruits, eggs He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in the town square. I love those trips.

II. Write a short paragraph (70-80 words) giving your opinion about life in the countryside. (1.5 points)
SAMPLE WRITING

The food is fresher and the air is cleaner. Finally, there are a lot of traditional activities that we can do in the countryside such as horse-riding, swimming in the river or kite-flying.
 In short, I like the country life
