When we are older, we may move to the town centre so that we don’t have to use the car so much, but at the moment, village life is just right for us. We are still quite young and healthy, so driving isn’t a problem. I think living in a village is a little difficult for older people.
We have a big house with a garden (花园) now. And I enjoy living in it a lot. We didn’t have enough money to buy this kind of house in the town centre. So we had to move out of town to buy a house in the country, but I don’t regret (遗憾) at all. I love gardening and the air is much better out here. I have shops near my house and can get everywhere easily. I really enjoy this kind of quiet life. ( ( ( ( (
