Well, that’s OK. It’s only midday. 
Local
And you have to be careful in this rain.
Tourist
Really?
Local
Yes. When the path is wet, it can be dangerous. 
a lot of people fall and hurt themselves. 
Tourist
Oh. Well maybe I’ll go to the museum instead. 
Where’s that?
Local
It’s over there.

There are houses for sale in both villages. The villages are 
quite similar, but South Milton is bigger than Upton. Upton, 
however, is quite a bit more expensive. Both villages are 
very pretty and are lovely places to live. But there is one 
house which I think you would really like in Upton. It costs 
£200,000, which is really cheap. The owners want to move 
quickly, so why don’t you make an offer? You won’t regret it.

I love it here. You can walk in the woods along the river near
my village. an advantage of living in the country is that the 
people are much friendlier and there’s less crime. We don’t 
even lock the car at night. And we often leave the house 
unlocked when we are out during the day. I think people 
should move out of the cities and find a better life in the 
country.

Why are so many people moving out of cities to find a new 
life in the country? Is it because life is so much easier in the 
country than in the town, because it’s quieter and less 
stressful and houses are much cheaper? Or are there other 
reasons? Listen to In the Country tonight at eight, when we 
interview people who are thinking of moving and ask 
them why.

It’s really lovely where I live. It’s very pretty and there are 
trees and a hill just behind my house. If you like a quiet life, 
it’s a really great place to live. But one disadvantage is that

life is a bit boring here. There isn’t much going on in the 
village and there aren’t many young people around. So I 
often go into the city at weekends with my friends. It isn’t far 
and there’s always something to do there. One day, I’d like 
to move away from here.

There’s lots to do, of course, much more than in the country.
It’s good that you can go to the cinema and theatre. And 
there are lots of shops. But to be honest, I hardly ever go to 
the cinema or theatre. I prefer watching DVDs at home. And 
I hate shopping. What I really hate about the town is that it’s 
very busy, very noisy, and quite dirty. I’d rather live 
somewhere cleaner and more peaceful.
