They don't join clubs or have hobbies and they don't play (4) ___________.They sit in front of the computer all the time. They don't get out of the house, even for a walk. They are in a world that doesn't exist. 

II. Read the passage and fill in each gap with ONE suitable word from the list.

I go on the Internet every day, but I've never (1)_________ more than an hour at a time online. I've got laptop and also a smartphone, so I can (2)___________ the Internet anywhere. Today, for instance, I've been (3)_________ three times. Mainly I just email my friends. I read online magazines and I look (4)___________. information, too. I also compare prices of things, although I've never bought anything online because I don't think it's safe. In my experience, it's very useful for people who use the Internet sensibly.

III. Read the passage and choose the best answers.

Many people enjoy living in a big city because they think life is more exciting there. However, I come from a small village  and in my view, there are lots of benefits. The main reason I prefer village life is because it's very quiet, so I always feel calm when I'm here. Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and bigger gardens, too. In addition, I think the people here are friendlier. Personally, I’m interested in wildlife photography, I'm so countryside is perfect for me.

The only downside is transport. I have an early start for a long journey to school in Faro and the school bus is always stopping to pick up more people. Also, it's boring sometimes, but I enjoy chatting to my friends. Fortunately, I'm learning to ride a moped. On balance, I disagree that city life is better, as I think my village lifestyle is healthier and more relaxing. In spite of that, some of my friends couldn't cope with life in the country, so it comes down to personal opinion.
