I was born and raised in a big city and I really enjoy it because there are always many things to
do. I think living in the city has many advantages. One of the advantages of city life is that
everything is closer to home, such as shops, malls, some facilities such as hospitals, schools
and other places. If you are a student, you have a better choice of schools and higher quality of
education, and if you have already finished school it’s easier to find a good, well-paid job and
have a sucessful career.
In the city, there are also tarred roads and many kinds of entertainment available such as
restaurants, cinemas, theatres, night clubs, museums, art galleries and sporting events. There is
always something to do.
But of course living in the big city also has some disadvantages. The air is polluted, traffic is
heavy and it can be very noisy. In addition, shops and public transport are sometimes very
crowded. It can also be unsafe, as many big cities have a high rate of crime. The cost of living
is also high.

Transcript of the speech


Nowadays, there is no true difference between living either in an African city or a
village. And we can say so for many reasons. First, development is now noticeable in both
villages and cities. In fact, you may find the same modern facilities of villages in cities and so
because everybody has a right to a better life. Infrastructures that improve life shouldn’t be
present somewhere and absent somewhere else. I think everybody deserves the best. Also, local
authorities should try to convince communities about the importance of adapting modernity to
village life. It doesn’t mean that population have to abandon their customs and culture, no on
the contrary, it is all about associating cultural aspects with modernity mainly because the world
has become a big village and we should be connected to one another.

Hey everybody !!! I’m the representative of an international NGO working for the promotion
of youth development and I’m here today to talk about the consequences of rural exodus.
First, let’s say that rural exodus is when people who can work decide to leave their village for
cities. And the reasons for that are so numerous . There are for example, poverty, search for a
better life, more happiness and so on and so forth. However, let me tell you that this
phenomenon has a lot of negative effects. To start, let’s say that the workforce abandon the
village and that increase poverty, depopulation and famine there. In cities, problems like
insecurity, lack of accomodation and even women prostitution may appear too mainly because
there isn’t enough work for everybody.
If I were you, I wouldn’t leave my village because we have to create happiness wherever we
are not move to another place. Thanks for your attention and I hope, you’ll follow my advice.

functioning of the society. So, we can say that the duty is moral in nature. There are no sanctions

TEXT
Some people say that the disease AIDS is just an invention to frighten people. But for
doctors, when you are tested positive to the HIV, it means that you contracted the virus.
In most cases, this contamination is due to various causes. Sexual intercourse for example
is one of the principal causes. In addition, we have girls’ abuse or rape and any other cases
where patients need blood transfusion because they lack of blood. The infected person
loses weight and gets thinner and thinner. He feels tired and sweats a lot. Sometimes he
loses his hair and suffers from constant fever. Ugly pimples may appear on his skin. Never
go to bed with your partner without protection. Use condoms and be faithful. Otherwise,
if you catch AIDS, you will have long and painful death. You must be careful.

Be careful with some words when using the 3rd person singular.

We add -es to the infinitive.

Examples:

2) verbs ending in -y

verbs ending in 'y' preceded by a vowel (a, e, i, o, u): Add -s.

verbs ending in 'y' preceded by a consonant: Change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'.
