Read the passage. Then read the statements and circle true or false.

I grew up on a farm. A month ago, I moved to Chicago, one of the biggest cities in America. (Only New York and Los Angeles are bigger.) I came here to study at university. I quite like my teachers and my classmates, but I miss my home. 

It’s livelier here, but it’s hardly ever relaxing. And the city is much more expensive than my hometown. The people aren’t as friendly here. Also, my family and friends are far away.  

I would study in my hometown if I could. But there aren’t any universities there. In four years, I’m going to graduate and then move back to the countryside. I’m going to buy a farm and have a big family there. I’m looking forward to having a traditional life!
