Hello, everyone! My name is Sue. I live in Canada. Canada is a large country with a population of about 36 million. I live in a small mountain town called Fairmont. I have lived here since I was three. Fewer than 600 people live here. The small town is surrounded by trees. The air is clean and fresh. People live close to nature and try to protect it. They are careful with garbage and discourage cutting trees. The town is really like one big family. The local people often help each other and have fun together. But sometimes it is hard to see friends because they live so far away.

Jason says
I’d like to live in a small village so that I can enjoy the beauty of nature and eat the vegetables grown by myself. Though there are no big shopping centers or other interesting places to visit, I can breathe fresh and clean air. What’s more, I can live a quieter life there. Maybe sometimes the living conditions are poor and aren’t convenient, but as the saying goes, East or West, home is the best. We can live a happy life wherever our families live together.
