시골 생활은 좀 더 여유롭고 느긋할 수 있을 것만 같죠. 하지만 장단점이 모두 있을 텐데요, 시골 생활에 대해 좋아하는 점과 불편한 점 모두를 설명할 수
있는 답변 전략을 함께 알아 보겠습니다.

[Q] What do you like about living in the countryside or small village? What kind of activities can you enjoy there in your free time? What can be the drawbacks of country living?
[Model Answer]
I think country living can be great for some reasons. I can grow plants and live in the natural environment. People go on trips to enjoy the nature,
but you can live a daily life without going on a trip if you live in the countryside. It could be inconvenient to get groceries or to go shopping in the
past, but it is not a big problem anymore as long as you can go online and get most things delivered. I also like the countryside because there aren’t many people there. It is so crowded in the city and I don’t like it at all. In the countryside, you can hear birds singing every morning and it’s
much better than waking up at the sound of noisy cars in the big city. Some people say that it can be boring to live in the countryside, but I don’t
think so. You can go for a walk or a bike ride in your free time. You can also go fishing to a lake nearby. I would say that the drawbacks of country living is the education. If you have children, you might worry about the schools your children can go to. It’s true that there are not many schools
in the small village and that’s why young parents with kids are not willing to move to the countryside.
