village.

farming products to the city.

A: Next we should build a new school.
B: It's a good idea. If we build a new school, our children can have a better learning place.
C: OK. And I think we should also buy more modern equipment for the school. With the help of equipment, our children can get better learning conditions.
D: And we ought to build a medical centre.
A: I completely agree with this idea. If we build a medical centre, the villagers’ health can be easily and quickly looked after. We’re no longer afraid of taking much time to get to the town hospital every time we unluckily get sick.
