6 Do You Know Where It Is? 1 READING Small Town America Do you know what the expression "small town America" means? Sometimes people use it to describe living in a small town in the U.S.A. There's a big difference between the quality of life in a large city and in a small town. That's true in any country. Some people prefer to live in the city because there are a lot of people to meet, a lot of places to eat, and a lot of things to do. The pace of life is faster in a big city than it is in a small town. So for some people, the expression "small town" or "small town America" is another way to say that something is slow or even boring. Officially a town has to have less than 10,000 residents to be considered a small town. In other words, a small town is even smaller than a small city. Many young people who grow up in small towns leave for life in the big city. But there are those who regret their move to the big city and want to move back to their small town life. Why? Many miss the community-the friendly neighbors, the close friends, and the looking out for the other person that are often characteristic of a vibrant small town. The top ten best small towns in the U.S.A. are voted on annually. These are the towns that people miss when they move away. These are the towns that have citizens who are excited about living in their small town. Recently, Hammondsport, New York was voted the best small town in America. Young people in small town America often do very different things for fun than their big city counterparts. Some of the exciting things young people in small town America do include riding ATVs (all terrain vehicles), riding horses, and even riding snowmobiles when it snows! Answer the questions. 1. What are three reasons some people like to live in a big city? 2. How many people have to live in a town for the town to be considered a small town? 3. Why do some people regret moving to the big city from a small town? 4. What is the name of the town that was recently voted as the best small town in America? 5. What are three things that young people like to do in small towns? وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 2024-1446 SG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 207 Unit 6 207 30/4/24 12:35 AM
