## 📄 Worksheet: “Complete the sentences with words from the box”

Words to choose from:
> cost of living, population, pollution, weather, transportation, traffic, crime

---

✔ Part A: Complete the sentences

Let’s fill in each blank using the most appropriate word from the box.

---

1) My country has a small ___ . Only four hundred people live here.

→ population
*(“Population” refers to the number of people living in an area. A small population = few people.)*

---

2) The ___ is very good. It is always warm and sunny.

→ weather
*(“Weather” describes daily atmospheric conditions — warm and sunny fits perfectly.)*

---

3) There is ___ in a big problem in Shanghai. There are many cars and the streets are small and old.

→ traffic
*(Heavy traffic is common in big cities with many cars and narrow streets.)*

---

4) My neighborhood is really safe. There is very little ___.

→ crime
*(Safety implies low crime — theft, violence, etc.)*

---

5) Everything is expensive here. The ___ is high.

→ cost of living
*(This phrase refers to how much money you need to live — rent, food, transport, etc.)*

---

6) There is a lot of ___ here. The air and water are very dirty.

→ pollution
*(Pollution causes dirty air and water — environmental degradation.)*

---

7) Cars, buses, and motorbikes are different kinds of ___.

→ transportation
*(All these are modes of getting from one place to another — transportation.)*

---

8) I like living in a small town. Things are not expensive — they’re ___.

→ affordable *(Note: This word is NOT in the box!)*
⚠️ Wait — this is a trick! The word “affordable” is not in the original word box. But looking at the sentence structure and context, the intended answer is likely “low cost of living”, but since we must pick from the box…

Actually, re-reading the sentence:
> “Things are not expensive — they’re ___.”
The only word that could fit logically (and is in the box) is “cost of living”, but that doesn’t grammatically fit (“they’re cost of living” is incorrect).

➡️ Correction: This seems to be a mistake in the worksheet. The correct word should be “affordable”, which is *not* in the box. But if we must use only words from the box, perhaps it's meant to say:

> “I like living in a small town. The ___ is low.” → cost of living

But as written, sentence 8 is grammatically flawed if we stick strictly to the box.

✔ Let’s assume the worksheet meant to say:
> “I like living in a small town. The ___ is low.” → cost of living

OR perhaps it’s a typo, and the word “affordable” was meant to be included.

Since the instruction says “use words from the box”, and “affordable” isn’t there, we might leave it as “cost of living” even though it doesn’t fit perfectly grammatically.

But let’s look again — maybe the sentence is:
> “I like living in a small town. Things are not expensive — they’re ___.”
And the word “___” is meant to be filled with a noun or adjective? None fit well.

💡 Best practical solution: Use “cost of living” and note the issue.

Alternatively, maybe the worksheet expects “low cost of living” as a phrase, but that’s two words.

9) Are those things good or bad? Write them in the correct box. Add two more things.

We need to categorize the following (from previous sentences):

- Good things:
✔️ Small population (less crowded)
✔️ Good weather (pleasant climate)
✔️ Low crime (safe)
✔️ Affordable prices / low cost of living (cheaper to live)

- Bad things:
✘ Traffic (congestion)
✘ Pollution (dirty environment)
✘ High cost of living (expensive)
✘ Large population (crowded)

Now add two more things:

✔ Good things to add:
- Clean air
- Friendly neighbors

✘ Bad things to add:
- Noise
- High taxes

✍️ Part B: Complete the questions with how many or how much. Then write your answer.

Remember:
- How many → for countable nouns (e.g., parks, restaurants)
- How much → for uncountable nouns (e.g., pollution, crime, cost of living)

---

1) ___ streets are there in your city?
→ How many (streets are countable)
*Answer example: There are about 500 streets in my city.*

---

2) ___ traffic is there in your city?
→ How much (traffic is uncountable — we say “a lot of traffic”)
*Answer example: There is a lot of traffic during rush hour.*

---

3) ___ pollution is there in your town?
→ How much (pollution is uncountable)
*Answer example: There is moderate pollution due to factories.*

---

4) ___ parks are there in your city?
→ How many (parks are countable)
*Answer example: There are 12 parks in my city.*

---

5) ___ noise is there in your city?
→ How much (noise is uncountable)
*Answer example: There is a lot of noise near the downtown area.*

---

6) ___ good restaurants are there in your community?
→ How many (restaurants are countable)
*Answer example: There are about 15 good restaurants nearby.*

---

7) ___ crime is there in your community?
→ How much (crime is uncountable — we talk about “amount of crime”)
*Answer example: There is very little crime in my neighborhood.*

## 💡 Tips for Students:

- Use “how many” for things you can count (people, cars, parks).
- Use “how much” for things you measure or cannot count (water, time, pollution, traffic).
- Always check if the word fits grammatically — sometimes worksheets have errors!
