Упр.9 Unit 4 ГДЗ Enjoy English 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Биболетова, Бабушис 11 класс, Дрофа: 9 Read the internet forum entry and say what the person did and why. I think that the worst place to live would be in a big city. I think that, especially for a family, the only reasonable way to live is to get food locally within a small community that is working together. There is also such a contrast between cities and smaller towns and villages. One of the reasons we moved from a small city with 150,000 people to a smaller town of 10,000 was that the scale and complexity of the place seems so much more manageable. In our town, it’s not that difficult to imagine a decent quality of life even if we were completely severed from the rest of the country. The community is essentially agricultural, with plenty of wood, easy distances between community buildings, a mild climate, an ample water system and lake, and a feeling that people could band together in effective ways if required. In a city, many of these things could be much more challenging and complicated — especially access to food, water and fuel — not to mention the ability of getting people to cooperate on anything, including safety. I’m interested in how we view and value work in smaller communities — it makes you wonder how much of our modern techie and white-collar skills have become useless. If you live in a big city, your work is abstract as are your skills. But in the country, the value of a good chainsaw quickly outstrips the value of a laptop. Perhaps my small-town bias has completely negated my ability to see the benefits of the city. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.

The person moved from a small city with 150,000 people to a smaller town of 10,000 because life there seemed more manageable and self-sufficient. He thinks a small community is a better place to live, especially for a family, because it is easier to get food locally, cooperate with other people, and have access to basic things like water and fuel.
