All right.
In this video lecture, I'm going to give you some really good sample answers to a countryside question.
Earlier in the course, I gave you some really good answers for a housing question.
The countryside question is somewhat similar, but it's a little bit different.
So please pay attention.
All right.
Part one countryside.
Let's talk about living in the countryside.
Did you ever live in the countryside?
The rural areas are absolutely breathtaking.
And I first settled there from 5 to 10 years of age.
Afterwards, there was an eight year period of city living with my family.
That was followed by my return to the outskirts for university studies.
Right.
So I'll read that again for you again if you want to.
A great thing for you to do.
A great practice for you to do.
And I'll.
I said the worst thing I really try to get you all to not use those kind of words.
A really good practice for you to do would be to try to repeat this and try to mimic my pronunciation.
And that way that's some people want to know how can I work on my pronunciation?
And one thing you can do is really just practice mimicking native speakers.
I'm a native native speaker.
I'm a native speaker from the United States.
And so if you want to know how a native speaker sounds, this is what we sound like.
Now, of course, there are different, different accents because people are from different parts of
the country.
But if you want to do that, that's something that I would ask you to practice.
Stop the tape and try to mimic my pronunciation.
OC Let's give that answer again.

Afterwards, there was an eight year period of city living with family.
That was followed by my return to the outskirts for university studies.
Okay, let's move on to the next question.
How did you feel about living there?
To be honest, I can't recollect any specific emotions from ages 5 to 10.
But when I look back on the photos from my life in the back country, I was smiling in every photograph.
On the other hand, I have vivid recollections of the latter period doing during university, which
was filled with peace and tranquillity from the surrounding Virgin Forest.
Next question.
Would you like to live there again?
To tell the truth?
My long term plan includes returning to the rural districts where the population is under 10,000 and
the beauty is undeniably green.
To escape my current political, to escape my current polluted city lifestyle, I'll take up country
living again very soon.
Let's read that one more time.

All right.
And thank you very much for joining us with that countryside answer.
I look forward to talking to you very soon.
And if you have any questions, please be sure to ask.
Thanks a lot.
Have a great day.
