Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream
about. However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you
can enjoy peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A
further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young
children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside
the city. First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few
friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the
evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services
means that it is hard to find jobs. In short, it can be seen that the country
is more suitable for some people than others. On the whole, it is often
the best for those who are retired or who have young children. In
contrast, young people who have a career are better provided in the city.
