Talking About City Life vs Country Life in English | Easy Opinion Phrases (A2–B1)

Описание: Do you freeze when someone asks you:
“Do you prefer city life or country life?”

In this episode of Fear-Free English Club, you’ll learn how to give your opinion in English clearly and confidently using simple phrases like:

“I prefer… because…”

This is real English speaking practice for A2–B1 learners who understand English but struggle to respond fast in conversation.

We practice one of the most common small talk questions in English:
City vs country.

You’ll learn natural opinion phrases, everyday vocabulary, and recovery lines you can use in real life — at work, at dinner, or when meeting new people.

No complicated grammar.
No advanced vocabulary.
Just usable English.

✅ In this English speaking lesson, you’ll learn:

• How to answer “City or country?” in English
• The opinion structure: “I prefer… because…” (with examples)
• How to say “It depends” naturally
• The time-buyer phrase: “Hmm… that’s a good question.”
• The rescue line: “Sorry, I lost my words for a second.”

convenient, crowded, peaceful, get around, something happening

This lesson helps you:
✔ Speak English more confidently
