VILLAGES AND CITIES TEST

VILLAGES ON THE COAST

Coastal villages can be on high land or on coastal plains.
These villages are popular with tourists who enjoy the beaches.
For this reason, many villagers work in hotels and restaurants.
Some villagers are fishermen.
They go out to the sea in their boats every day.

VILLAGES ON PLAINS

Villages on plains are usually bigger than mountain villages.
The streets and roads are straight.
Many villages have housing estates.
These are groups of houses that look very similar.
Plains are perfect places for farms because the land is flat and fertile.
That is why many villagers work on farms.

VILLAGES

Villages have a small population.
The main characteristics of a village are:

• The houses are low, usually with only one or two floors. One family lives in each house.
• The streets are short and usually lead to the main square in the centre of the village. The most important buildings, the town hall or the church, are in the main square.
• Most people know each other because the population is small.
