19 Read the text and fill in the gaps with parts of the sentences below.
It’s impossible to deny that there are many health benefits to living outside of the city or even in the suburbs: clean air and green trees are often enough (1) to inspire many city dwellers to move to the country. But they often don’t keep in mind that services such as municipal water and sewage disposal are often not provided in very rural areas.
In urban areas, it is fairly easy to access transportation with city bus systems and taxis. The situation is different in rural areas: (2) without your own car, it is difficult to get around. With greater distances between houses, even everyday shopping can be a problem. So if a person loses his / her driver’s licence or vehicle for some reason, it’s a real hardship in the country.
Those who ever lived in a rural area can prove that village life encourages a greater sense of community and gives some perspective on what is important. When a family faces a hardship, (3) often neighbours in a rural community are quick to help wherever they can. If there is a death in the family, members of the community are right there with condolences. If someone falls ill, the community pulls together to raise money for the family.
The reactions to these kinds of situations are much mote different in a city. Many city dwellers don’t know the people living next door beyond a «hello» as they pass each other in the hall. Some don’t even say that much. Perhaps they feel they don’t need their neighbours, (4) as they don’t depend on them the way people in the rural areas do.
People in rural areas organise a lot of events together. From church dinners to local fairs, to the community’s summer barbecues, most people have their fingers in the pie, in one way or another. It is these types of events that (5) build up community spirit, because those who attend can claim ownership of the event. In urban areas, special events are often competing against each other, since there are often many happenings at the same time. Many people who attend these events haven’t got any particular sense of pride for them, (6) as they are just spectators of the event, not coordinators.
While one could argue that city life is more exciting and at times more convenient, it’s not necessarily better than country life.
a) as they are just spectators of the event, not coordinators
b) without your own car, it is difficult to get around
c) as they don’t depend on them the way people in the rural areas do
d) to inspire many city dwellers to move to the country
e) build up community spirit, because those who attend can claim ownership of the event
f) often neighbours in a rural community are quick to help wherever they can
