City life has many good and bad points. I like that cities are full of exciting activities, such as shopping, going to the cinema, or visiting museums. There are also many schools, hospitals, and jobs, which makes life more convenient. However, city life can be noisy and crowded, with lots of traffic and pollution. Sometimes, people are so busy that they don’t have time to talk to each other. I also miss the fresh air and peaceful environment of the countryside. Overall, city life is interesting, but it can feel stressful at times.

In the past, school days were quite different from today. Classes usually started early in the morning and ended by noon or early afternoon. Students studied basic subjects like math, literature, history, and science, but they also had lessons in handwriting and moral education. During leisure time, children often played simple games like hopscotch, hide-and-seek, or tag with their friends. Summer holidays were long and filled with outdoor adventures, such as fishing, swimming in rivers, or helping their families with farming. Most students walked to school, while some rode bicycles if they lived far away. Despite having fewer resources, students enjoyed their school days and valued the lessons they learned both in and out of the classroom.
