Country Vs Town
SPEECH
Why living in
the country is better
than living in town.
COUNTRY V.S TOWN
Para 1
Lazy, boring and busy, that’s town. Exciting, beautiful and peaceful that’s country. Country is better than town. I have three main points pollution, noise and room. By the way my name is Brianna, a proud country girl.
Para 2
Right let’s get started on the pollution that’s in your air. 50% of your air has come from carbon dioxide, 30% is from factories and waste then 20% is from petrol, they can all corse medical problems.
Para 3
Ok the noise and room is also a problem for example. (Noise) trucks and cars are always on the run so you’ll never get peace and quiet.Unlike in the country it’s always peaceful. Now for the (room) in town there’s no room just to go outside and play in your backyard. In the country there’s room for miles. Also fences aren't a very good view if you want to be staring at a fence go ahead but I would rather be looking at the beautiful mountains and land.
Para 4
(Pets) in town you have a limit on how many pets you can have, think about it, if you had a dog there would be no room for it to run around, it's more likely for it to get run over because it would be bored from sitting around all day and run out. The other thing is with the noise it makes like barking. Your neighbours would complain so you'd be forced ether to give it away or give it to the pound, now who would want that. If you want pet I would suggest a cat.
Para 5
Ok (Exploring) your sitting on the couch on your device watching TV or you could be playing a game that you enjoy, building a treehouse with your mates or going on an adventure and explore the bush. So I know what you're thinking but I can’t be bothered going outside well you can’t make memories on a device and plus you get headaches from staring at that screen so get off your rump and go outside.
(End)
