안녕하세요 여러분, 이번에는 돌발 주제 ‘시골’ 관련 질문 중 ‘시골과 도시 생활의 비교’에 대해 살펴보겠습니다. 두 가지의 장단점을 비교하라는 질문 

유형인데요, 어느 하나의 장점이 다른 하나의 단점이 되는 구조의 답변을 준비해야 하겠습니다. 예를 들어서, 도시 생활에서의 장점으로 편리한 대중교통

을 들 수 있는데, 이와 반대로 시골에서는 대중교통 수단이 다양하지 못해서 불편한 단점이 되겠네요.

[ 유용한 표현 – 시골과 도시 생활의 비교 ]

air pollution 대기 오염

stay close to~ ~와 가까이 지내다

in need of help 도움이 필요한

get around 돌아다니다  

자, 그렇다면 예상 질문과 함께 답변도 준비해 볼까요?

[Q] What are some differences between living in the country and living in a city? How are they different from each other? Tell me about it.

[Model Answer]

Living in a city is convenient because many things are well developed. For example, there are a lot of shopping places, so I can get anything I want. Also, there are many good places for young people to go, so it’s good to enjoy leisure time. In addition, the public transportation system 

is well developed, so I can get around easily by bus or subway. On the other hand, living in a country can be inconvenient because there are not many places to go, and the public transportation system is not developed. If you don’t have a car and try to use public transportation, you would be in trouble because there is no subway and buses don’t run often. However, there’s no air pollution in the country and it is quiet and peaceful 

to live. On top of that, people in the country are friendly and close to each other. People in a city rarely know about their neighbors, but country people stay close to their neighbors. They get to help each other when they are in need of help. That’s the difference between cities and countries.
