Exercise 7: Choose the item among A, B, C or D that best answer the question about

the passage.

The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer,

autumn and winter – I could see them all come and go and each one was completely

different. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter ad eat the same

vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things at certain

times of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my

childhood with the seasons.

We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything

was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City

people may think people in the country miss a lot of things about modern life. In fact, in

my opinion they miss a lot more than people in the country, they miss real life.
