 Read the passage below carefully and fill in each blank with the best option, A, B, C, or D.
 The organisation City Of Trees have shown the public a plan to plant three million trees in Greater Manchester over the next quarter of a century, a plan that aims to use the power of trees to refresh and redevelop the area. Of course planting more trees in built up urban areas has not only beauty effects but also other good consequences. As well as reducing stress, encouraging people to spend more time in shopping areas and improving air quality, a lot of trees can actually reduce flooding in urban areas.
 Tony Hothersall, the director of City Of Trees , explained that the scheme had three main aims. He said: "One is to plant three million trees which means a tree for every man, woman and child in the next quarter of a century. Next, we focus on managing existing woodlands because there is no point in planting new woodlands if you can't manage what you've got already. Finally, we want to interest people a lot more in their natural environment - in planting trees, in managing areas, in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society. They can do great things in terms of air pollution and can help to protect us from noise pollution. What is really important is that it is about the right tree in the right place." And the plan is off to a storming start. Since its launch in 2015, about one hundred thousand trees have been planted around Greta Manchester.

WRITING
A Suggested Writing
 If I were asked whether I would like to live in the city or in the countryside, my answer would definitely be in the countryside. Living in the countryside brings me a lot of benefits. First, in the countryside, there is lots of fresh air, so people can enjoy a happy life without clean and fresh air. Second, in the countryside, there is not so much traffic as in the city, so people will not suffer from too much noise and they can enjoy a peaceful, quiet and safe life. Last but not least, people in the countryside are very friendly and easy-going. They always smile and give cheerful greetings when they meet their acquaintances and even visitors. [118 words]
