  I live in a small vllage called Northville. There are about 2000 people here. I love the village because it is very quiet and life is slow and easy. The village is always clean; People look after it with great care. The air is always clean, too. Plepeo are much friendlier herebthan in a city because everyone knows the others, and if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help.
   There are only a few things that i don't like about Northville. One thing is that we have not got many things to do in the evening. We haven't got any cinemas or theaters. Another thing is that everyone is always talking to each other and everyone  knows what they are doing. But i still preler village life to life in a big city
