(A)
All the cities are quite the same. Living in a modern Australian city is not very different from living in an American city, but there are some differences on farms. In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns. In the United States, each farm family lives in their own field. Usually their neighbors live far away. It's hard for them to visit each other on weekdays. Their children take school buses to the nearest schools, which are only for the farm families in this area. In some areas, there are small schools for a few farm families, and the children walk to schools. But in Australia, it is very different. Farmers live nearby and their children can walk to schools and often go home for meals. Farmers' life keeps changing. So do farmers. Today there are cars, good roads, radios and television sets and there are modern machines for farming. All of these are changing the farm life.
