Living in the City and in the Countryside (7 Form)

Living in the City and in the Countryside

People are different and choose different places to live in. Some of them like living in a city while others prefer living in the country. Each place has its own advantages and disadvantages.

            Living in the country is thought to be healthier than living in the city. To start with, the air there is clearer and people eat healthier food as they grow it themselves. What is more, life in the country is slower and safer than in the city as there are fewer cars and buses and there is less noise in the streets. Finally, people in the country are often friendlier than people in the city as their life is less stressful and less expensive. That`s why people spend time close to nature which is more beautiful than in the city. It makes them calmer and kinder.

            However, many people like living in the city. Firstly, there are more modern conveniences and people have more free time to enjoy themselves. Secondly, life is less boring in the city as there are many museums, art galleries, cinemas and theatres. Finally, the buildings in the city are bigger and more beautiful than in the country. So, you can go sightseeing every day.

            To sum up, tastes differ. Everybody leads the life to his liking. I prefer living in the city, because I was born in Saint Petersburg and I can`t live without its modern traffic and the city entertainment.
