Read some differences between a city resident and a country resident .-
A. Which do you think is the best and which one is the worst? Why?
B. Choose one which might be offensive for some people and explain why.
1)
A country resident never hesitates to knock on their neighbour's door - if only for a coffee and a friendly chat.
A city resident never answers their door fearing it could reveal:
a) someone who'll try to convert them to a little-understood religion;
b) a neighbor seeking a charitable donation;
c) a gang of ruthless home invaders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)
A country person stops for anyone who's stranded beside a broken-down vehicle and provides a lift to the nearest service station (Believe it or not, service stations do still indeed exist - but mainly in the country).
A city person slows down, locks the car doors and makes hand-signals to the stranded motorist that he'll use a cell phone to call a tow truck.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3)
A city dweller spends $1,500 to install a state-of-the art home security system and another $25 a month to have it monitored by a company 24 hours a day.
A country resident buys a dog - or gets one free from a neighbor who's more than thankful to part with one of eight new pups.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4)
City folks boast about how much theatre, film, sports and fine dining their metropolis offers - but are too tired to ever go out after their long work week.
Stir-crazy country folks cram all of their friends and relatives into a pickup and happily drive 300 km to catch an NHL exhibition game, no matter how tired everyone is.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5)
Country people personally know each person from every family who lives within a 500 sq. km area.
City folks don't know the person across the street - and probably think they're a little weird anyway.
