b) Traditional classroom VS Virtual classroom
c) Living in the city VS living in the countryside

The topic chosen by me is letter C

C) Living in the city VS Living in the countryside

in my opinion life in the city is very difficult because everything is more expensive, the air is
more polluted and there is a lot of noise although there are more places to visit, there are also
many companies which generate many jobs and there are more possibilities to work, in the
personal I like life in the countryside because it is quieter there is less noise and rural life in
general is much quieter and cleaner than a city.
