What is your dream life? This is a fairly common question in modern life and the answer to this question is mostly different. So how do you answer this question? This is my answer.

I wish I lived in a big house on a large lake in the forest because the air here is very fresh. It has four floors and four bedrooms throughout in order to see the stars at night, bathrooms for each bedroom and on the top floor outside is an enclosed porch. Our house is protected by the most modern system at that time.

I want to have a happy family. My husband is very handsome and smart. After 5 years I will 3 children. They are very cute and clever. My children are very smart and very cute. My son is cold but he knows how to take care of those around him very well. My first daughter is quite gentle, she can cook a lot of delicious food. But my second daughter is different from her sister. She is very energetic and she just knows to eat and sleep. But we are very close and have a lot of work to do with each other's lives like the other family. I think family is an inestimable present for me.

Every morning I wake up and swim in the lake or jogging, come to make coffee with the French press and make breakfast. Then I take my two dogs for a walk because I enjoy and love animals. After that, I go home and look after my garden, flowers, plants, and vegetables because I want my family can eat healthy things. I go fishing with my kids and my husband clean and cook for lunch. He will make food from fishes I bring back. After lunch, I clean with my husband. We talk to and watch some movies. Then I come to our orchard and pick a few apples and a cake that I want for dessert. I also choose vegetables and some fruits. I will practice yoga, Pilates or classes for my own flexibility. In the evening, I meditate for half an hour, relax with some music and taste a new wine. I will tell some fairy tales to my children. After they sleep, I bright wine into my husband's room. We talk and see the stars in the sky My husband will sing to me sleep. I fall asleep with dreams in my husband's lap. I will welcome the new day with a relaxed spirit.

I. Read the passage and do the tasks that follow. ____________________________ Playing football on the beach, samba dancing at night, relaxing with a delicious ice-cold fruit juice in an outdoor café, meeting sociable, hospitable people: this is what I think of when I remember the beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro. ____________________________ Rio is called "The Marvellous City" for a good reason. It is in an extraordinary location in Guanabara Bay, surrounded by spectacular mountains and by impressive sandy beaches facing south onto the Atlantic. The views almost everywhere in the city are breathtaking. ____________________________ There is something to do in Rio 24/7. In the morning, you can visit the centre with its museums and picturesque, historic churches or go up Mount Christ with Corcovado to see the eye-catching statue of Christ with its stunning views. In the afternoon, you can relax on the beach and watch the world go by or join in a football game with the welcoming, good-natured locals. Or you can go to the striking Maracana Stadium to watch the professionals play. At night, there is music and dancing everywhere. Even if you are not a brilliant samba dancer, you will have an amazing time. ____________________________ Of course, Rio does have problems. There are enormous areas of depressing slums on the hills around the city and violent crime can be a problem, though the situation has improved recently. However, for me Rio is one of the most fascinating places in the world and Cariocas the warmest people, so I cannot wait to go back!

City Life or Country Life? Which place is the better - the city or the country? Two American teenagers talk about where they live. Leo, 16: I live in New York and it’s great. There are huge shopping centres and interesting places to go. My mum loves all the art galleries and museums, but I like Central Park where I go skateboarding. It's big enough to get away from the noise and traffic. The country isn't for me. It isn’t exciting enough for people of my age. Most people don't live close enough to their friends to have enough a good social life. It's too quiet and too boring. City life is the best. Amelie, 14: I live on a ranch in the country, in Colorado. In the summer, we go hiking in the mountains, and in the winter I go snowboarding. I really like it because it's relaxing and quiet. I can’t imagine life in the city. It isn't safe enough to walk around alone and it’s too dangerous to cycle in the streets because of the traffic. Overall, I think the city is too noisy, too dirty, too crowded and too expensive. I prefer country life!
