Mastering Greeting Cards & Invitation: Soal Functional Text

Many people like to live in a city although it is often very crowded. There are many jobs available. Therefore, it is easier to plan for a living. There are also more opportunities for education and recreation. If people are sick, there is always a hospital or a clinic nearby. There are markets, supermarkets or department stores that people can choose to go shopping. In addition, all means of transportation are available. People can go by bus, taxi, train or plane. For these reasons people prefer living in a city to a village.

Some other people prefer living in a village to a city. A village is not very crowded and noisy. People do not have to rush to work. They may do whatever they want. They do not have to go to school for a long period of time. They go to Elementary School just to be able to read and write. This is enough for them to survive. They so not care much about time. Today and tomorrow are just the same for them. Living naturally like this is enjoyable for them.

However, not every villager enjoys the natural life. Some of them find that rural life is quite backward. They want to improve their lives. They move to big cities to start a new life. Of course, some of them are successful, but many of them are not. For those who are not successful living in a big city like Jakarta is really terrible. They are jobless and homeless because they do not have skills needed in urban areas. They live in the slums of the city.
