Part E – Short Reading (5 questions)

When I was a child, I used to live in a small town. We used to spend our evenings playing outside, and life was peaceful. Later, when my family moved to the city, everything changed. At first, I wasn’t used to the traffic or the noise. It was hard to get used to traveling by bus and studying in a large school. Slowly, I got used to my new environment. Now I am used to waking up early, taking the train, and working long hours. Sometimes I miss the quiet evenings in my hometown, but I know that people can adapt. With time, we can get used to almost anything.
