Life has become difficult for many villages，and some are disappearing.There are a number of reasons
11、 for this.Firstly，young people from villages usually want to live somewhere livelier and they often move to the towns and do not return.Secondly，people move to the cities to find work，as there are often very few jobs in the countryside.Sometimes villages remain because people from the ,cities have b
