<h2>I’m doing a lot of practice SAT tests in preparation for my upcoming real test :-S. How does this essay look? Any critique and opinions are welcome :)</h2>
<h2>Do changes that make our lives easier not necessarily make them better? </h2>
<p>My life is definitely easier in London than it was in Bulgaria. Up until the age of five, I lived with my mom in the small town of Yambol, in East Bulgaria. </p>
<p>Now, Bulgaria is not a bad place to live in at all – it is as technologically advanced as, say, the UK and the US. However, values in the smaller towns are much more traditional and give off a late 20th century vibe. </p>
<p>I remember the frequent earthquakes and the stray dogs. I remember tripping over dangerously uneven pavement. Hospitals are run down, the internet is slow, and don’t get me started on the necessity of uprooting your own potatoes for dinner. </p>
<p>We moved to the UK in 2003. The houses are new, the transport is beyond amazing, and the water has never been spontaneously stopped in order to fix old pipes under the building. </p>
<p>However, although life is easier in London, it is not better. Yes, groceries come straight to your door, but there’s nothing like running around barefoot over vast stretches of farmland, trying to guess what each plant is then getting to taste it for dinner. There’s nothing like playing hide and seek in the outskirts of the town, surrounded by sunflowers. I’d rather play volleyball over clothes-lines engulfed by climbing vines and vibrant flowers than over a sterile, dull net. </p>
<h2>The word “easy” is not a synonym for “better”, and there are reasons for this. My reason is the raw, wild feeling of living a challenging life – the feeling I lost when left my town. </h2>
