Like two different worlds

I come from London, a very big city! Over 81people live there, and it's always busy with tourists. So moving to a little town2only 15, 000 people is a big change for me! I am living in a little town in the countryside in Germany now.

In the countryside, the towns are 3so everyone knows each other. At home in London, I don't even know my neighbours! Another nice thing about the countryside is that it's very green and there's lots of fresh air. I like nature, and it's nice to see4the seasons change the trees. My favourite thing about living in the countryside is that I can see thousands of 5 at night. At home I can hardly see any! That's because there's 6light in the city, but here everything is dark and the stars twinkle in the sky.

One thing I do like about living in a city is that it's7to travel. We have the subways, buses and trains, and we even have buses that run all night. Here, the last train is before 9 pm, and there's only one an hour! Another good thing about cities is that there are lots of 8, so you can usually find what you need. In my town here there aren't many shops, 9I have to go to the nearest city!

I always thought I was a city girl, but now I like the countryside too. They are like two different worlds, but10feel like home!

One night, when I was eight, my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. "Sweetie, my company wants to 1me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling that you've done2and allowing you to skip a grade(跳级), but you'll have to3your friends. Would you say yes to your teacher?" She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me4for the rest of the night. I had said "yes" but for the first time, I realized the 5decisions adults had to make.

For almost four years, my mother would call us from Brazil every day. Every evening I'd6wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call, however, could never replace her 7 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times.

During my fourth grade Christmas break, we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 8 apartment, I became 9 how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 10 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on11family and work.12difficult decisions, she used to tell me, you wouldn't know whether you made the right choice, but you could always make the best out of the situation, with passion and a13attitude.

Back home, I 14 myself that what my mother could do, I could, too. If she15to live in Rio all by herself, I, too, could learn to be 16. I learnt how to take care of myself and set high but achievable17.

My mother is now back with us. But I wilt never forget what the 18 has really taught me. Sacrifices 19 in the end. The separation between us has proved to be a 20 for me.
