VII. Read the passage and do exercises

Twenty years ago, people tried to leave the suburbs for cities but
nowadays many people are reluctant to make such a movie. They say
that compared to suburban areas, city life has many drawbacks.
The high cost of living is the first disadvantages. The bigger the city is,
the higher the living cost is. Accommodation and petrol are expensive.
Food and drinks are also pricey. Apart from that, city people seem to
suffer from more noise and air pollution. They densely populated
neighbourhoods, busy traffic, and big construction sites making cities
noisy and dusty. These are harmful to people’s health, such as
increasing their stress levels, disturbing their sleep and making them
suffer from breathing problems.
Lack of space is another drawback of city life. House prices are high in
the city, so people tend to live in a smaller house or in apartment
blocks. Many cities lack spaces for outdoor activities, therefore,
teenagers often hang out at shopping mall or in entertainment
complexes instead of doing sports outdoors.
The cities’ authorities are trying to overcome these problems. However,
they still get along way to go before they can reduce living cost and
pollution, and increase green space to make all cities in the world more
liveable places.
