2 9689/52/O/N/19 © UCLES 2019 Translate into Tamil: Many people have written about the advantages and disadvantages of living in cities, compared to life in small villages. For some people, peace and quiet, the beauty of nature and a slower pace of life are the most important factors; for others, the busy lifestyle and the easy access to a range of shops, restaurants and cinemas are what count most. In an urban environment younger people can also benefit from a wider choice of schools and better public transport. In contrast, older people may prefer the close community of village life where there is less crime and your neighbours are your friends. However, in some places, shops find it hard to attract enough customers because many of the younger people have moved to the cities. This also means that village schools suffer from falling pupil numbers and have to reduce staff or possibly even close. In some countries young adults can no longer live in the villages where they were born, as many of the houses are rented by tourists. Opportunities for work are also in decline in many rural areas, and young people have no choice but to move away. [40] … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …
