My life style

I pretty much live at home on weekends. My home was (is?) located in a small rural village about 100 kilometers from my office. The lifestyle of people in my hometown is different than that of those who live in the city. (I could probably give you an easier way to say that if you want) We are gardeners. We make a living tapping rubber trees and we practically have our own rubber plantation. Everyday, we have to get up at two or three in the morning (or just "a.m.") for tapping rubber trees.(I would say: "to tap rubber trees") After that we have to collect rubber tree liquid into a rubber container and sell it afterward. Usually, we finished our task at nine or ten o’clock in the morning. As for myself, I work for the government. I do not need to get up very early because I start working at 08.30 am. and get off at 4:30 pm. I thought everyone liked weekends and holidays. I am the same; I also like weekends and days off too because I can do what I like. My life style on the weekends is quite easy and simple. Actually, I am not social (or: "I don't socialize"). I like to keep myself at home. I just lay on my bed watching television, listening to old classic music, reading English articles, practicing English writing and doing laundry. But this evening, my mom asked me to buy sea fish for our dinner at the local market. I found many kinds of fish, fruits, vegetables and other stuff in the market. The prices are quite reasonable and cheaper than in the supermarket. Everyone in the market is friendly and almost everyone knows each other. Their faces are smiling with happiness. But nowadays, I could not see it (what is 'it'?) in a big city anymore because they have faced many pressures from air pollution, bad traffic, high life living cost and etc.
