Hazel village is in the middle of the countryside in England. The village is a small community where only people over
the age of 55 live. Everywhere is quiet and peaceful. The park is beautifully maintained and all the gardens are pretty.
The speed limit is 20 km per hour and there is no graffiti at the bus stop. ‘Every day is like a Sunday here,’ says Barry
Wilson happily. ‘I really love it. It’s a totally different way of living, really calm and relaxed.’
For the Wilsons security is the most important thing. In a normal town you hear stories about vandalism and crime
every day. Many old people are afraid to leave their houses. But here in Hazel village everything and everyone is safe.
There are nurses who work in the village day and night. In an emergency there is always someone to help you. But there
are some bad aspects too. You gain peace, quiet and security, but you lose some of the energy of a real town. ‘There are
no young people here. Everyone is old,’ says Ivan Jameson. The town feels a bit strange without the energy of children
and large families.

1. This article is about a village where 55 people live. T F

2. Hazel village is a place for young energetic people. T F
3. People at Hazel village never feel in danger. T F
4. A problem in the city is that you can never get help in emergencies. T F
5. Ivan thinks the village is the perfect place to live. T F
