Exercise 6. Read the passage about the countryside in Britain and choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions.

Besides its beauty, the countryside of Britain is well known for many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. National parks which are protected from development by the government have the most beautiful and picturesque scenery. British people often associate the countryside with farmland, open spaces like fields of wheat and barley, green fields enclosed by hedges or stone walls in which cows or sheep are raised. Most farmland is now owned by individual people or independent companies. However, the government has built a network of public footpaths across the farmland.

Many British people enjoy the peace and relaxation of life in the countryside where they can spend their free time walking, cycling, or going for a picnic or a pub lunch. In summer they can pick strawberries and other fruit in fruit farms. Nowadays, few rural people work on farms. Many of them commute to work in towns. Many others wish to live in the countryside so that they would have a better and healthier lifestyle.

Tạm dịch:

Bên cạnh vẻ đẹp của nó, vùng nông thôn nước Anh còn nổi tiếng với nhiều sự tương phản: những ngọn núi trọc và vùng đất hoang, hồ, sông và rừng cũng như bờ biển dài và thường hoang sơ. Các công viên quốc gia được chính phủ bảo vệ khỏi sự phát triển có phong cảnh đẹp và đẹp như tranh vẽ. Người Anh thường liên tưởng vùng nông thôn với đất nông nghiệp, những không gian rộng mở như cánh đồng lúa mì và lúa mạch, những cánh đồng xanh được bao bọc bởi hàng rào hay những bức tường đá nuôi bò hoặc cừu. Hầu hết đất nông nghiệp hiện nay thuộc sở hữu của cá nhân hoặc các công ty độc lập. Tuy nhiên, chính phủ đã xây dựng một mạng lưới đường đi bộ công cộng xuyên qua khu đất nông nghiệp.

Nhiều người Anh tận hưởng cuộc sống yên bình và thư giãn ở vùng nông thôn, nơi họ có thể dành thời gian rảnh rỗi để đi bộ, đạp xe hoặc đi dã ngoại hoặc ăn trưa ở quán rượu. Vào mùa hè, họ có thể hái dâu tây và các loại trái cây khác ở trang trại trồng trái cây. Ngày nay, rất ít người dân nông thôn làm việc trên trang trại. Nhiều người trong số họ đi làm ở các thị trấn. Nhiều người khác mong muốn được sống ở nông thôn để có cuộc sống tốt hơn và khỏe mạnh hơn.
