Today many people in the word are leaving their small villages in the country for big and noisy cities. This means that they are moving the peaceful hills, mountains, fields and rivers of the countryside for the busy word of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. In many countries people come to live in towns and cities because they need word. After one or two factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find word and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is ususlly an erea nearby where the factory workers live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and markets, so more and more people come to live in the area to provide these services - and so a city grows.

Do you think the Maori system is a good idea? Why?/ Why not?
=> Yes , I do. Because it helps young people to change their behaviour, it tries to bring something positive from a negative situation, and most of the time it succeeds.

I think the Maori system is a good idea because it can educate young people without violence. That way won't give any bad memory to the youth. The youth will learn how to say sorry to other people. But some young wouldn't understand. They still think their actions are correct. Or because they don't afraid of saying sorry. They still do it after they have apologised. So I think Maori people should have a stricter system.

LIFE IN AN ISLAND
Off the west coast of Scotland, there are many small island communities. Life in these communities is very different from life in the big cities. People from the cities often say that life in the islands is slow and boring. But the island people tell a different story.
Many families live by fishing or farming, and people usually have more than one job. Many families have rooms for tourists who come to visit the islands in summer. The tourists go walking and fishing and play sports. Sometimes they study Gaelic, the local language. And they stay in a 'bed and breakfast' with a local family or in one of the small island hotels. In the long summer evenings, people meet and talk together. They tell stories of where they live and what they do.
The children on the islands go to small local schools. They have their classes in English and Gaelic. Sometimes there are only eight or ten children in one school! When they are twelve, they go to secondary school in a bigger town on the island. When they finish that school, they decide whether to go to university in a big city, or to stay and work on the island.
1. City people and island people have the same opinion about island life. F
2. People on the islands mainly do one job. F
3. Tourists can stay with local families in summer. T
