English for apes

Sleep on firewood. Lick bitter liver. Expose test results.

Living in the countryside

My friend and I visited the boundary between the Scottish lowlands and highlands this summer. It seemed to me that staying in a small village in summer or the certain period of the year must be enjoyable. But the life might be boring if we live there through a whole year or the rest of my life. There were no pubs or shops. And even probably no Uber or convenient delivery services.
We visited a bookshop in a small village. I found a lot of secondhand books of philosophy, history, art and music and hundreds of classical music CDs. I assumed that someone who became old or died in the village left the books and the CDs. I imagined that the life in the countryside could be like the ex-owner of the books and CDs. The person took years to read all books and listen to the all CDs. I thought that reading, listening and thinking are the life in the countryside.
'Work From Home' made many people move from city to countryside. I know several people who bought houses by the sea. Some of them moved to countryside completely and the others keep hoses in a city. My ideal life is having more than one residences and live in a city weekdays and live in a rural area weekends and holiday.

222語。とりあえず今回は分量の確認。gooブログだと文字数が表示されるので語数は別途カウントしないといけない。(C1 Adcanced のPart1, Part2共220–260 words)
とにかく何も見ないで、時間をかけないで、書いてみた。
で、難しめの単語は一切使えず。必須の接続語は無し。おそらく前置詞とか文法とかたくさん間違っているはず。(綴りはgooブログに自動修正されてしまった。)

で、FCEの要件すら満たしていない状態を認識する。10年前の「昔のブログ」のレベルから進歩無し。
最初はここから。ここからちょっとずつ改善していく。
