Which do you like better, living in the city or living in the countryside? I used to think living in the village is not 【小题1】（有乐趣的）at all. However, last year, I got a 【小题2】（机会）to live in the village for one month. This 【小题3】（旅程）changed my idea and I became interested in the village life.

When I was in the city, life was usually quite 【小题4】（无聊的）. I didn’t go out a lot because 【小题5】（停泊）the car could be a big problem. However, in the village, people liked to stay【小题6】（在……外面）the house and talk with each other. I could walk around and have 【小题7】（谈话）with others in the village. They were friendly and gave me the 【小题8】（温暖的）smile in the world. What’s more, living in the village 【小题9】（允许）me to get close to the 【小题10】（自然）, I could also enjoy the fresh air everywhere.

Maybe one day I would choose to live in a small village.
