The country is more beautiful than a town and pleasant to live in. Many people think so, and go to the country for the summer holidays though they cannot live there all the year round. Some have a cottage built in the village so that they can go there whenever they can find the time. 
English villages are not all alike, but in some ways they are not different from one another. Almost every village has a church, the round or square tower of which can be seen for many miles around. Surrounding the church is the churchyard, where people are buried.
The village green is a wide stretch of grass, and houses or cottages are built round it. Country life is now fairly comfortable and many villages have water brought through pipes into each house. Most villages are so close to some small towns that people can go to buy what they can’t find in the village shop
