Advantages of disadvantages of living in a city / country

I'm going to begin with the adventages of living in the city.You can spend a lot of free time, you can go to the cinema, park, theaters, etc... There are a lot of working places. The public transport is so good in the city, then you haven't got any problem with displacament.The disadvantages of living in the city are that there are a lot of contamination bouth acustic and materialist.The other disadvantage is the poor safety in a city.
Then I tell you the adventages of living in the country you can find more peace and meet more of the people that you live, the people of the country, your neigthbours. In the countryside there are a lot of breathtaking sceneries, space and other amazing places such as forests, lakes or mountains. It haven't got many shopping centers and many areas for fun.

Click on this link to get the complete pice of the news.
I took this picture of the bbc.co.uk webside on October 18th, 2011.
In this photo we can see a class of South Corea, the students are doing the class without normal textbooks, the have digitalbooks. They use headphones and microphones to do the class too. I think the class can not be controlled in the same way, but it depends of the teacher.


PICE OF NEWS SUMMARY:

South Korea, one of the world's highest-rated education systems, aims to consolidate its position by digitising its entire curriculum.
By 2015, it wants to be able to deliver all its curriculum materials in a digital form through computers. The information that would once have been in paper textbooks will be delivered on screen.
"Smart Education will change how we perceive textbooks," said Mr Lee (South Korea's Minister of Education)
South Korea's teenagers should be particularly receptive to such educational technology.
They were best at evaluating information on the internet, assessing its credibility and navigating web pages.
President Barack Obama's "Digital Promise", announced last month, involves a new national centre to advance technologies that can supposedly transform teaching and learning.
