WHERE WE LIVE

We are going to learn about the places where people live.

Most people live together in small villages, big places like towns or very big places like cities.

Villages are small places with few inhabitants (people who live in a place). There are few services in villages, but in Spain there is usually a square, a church and a town hall. There is often a main street with shops, too. If the village is too small, the children go to school in a near village. Many people who live in villages work in arable or livestock farming or in tourism.
