Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream
about. However, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of 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 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, there
are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a result, you may
have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is often the best place for
those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast, young or single
people who have a career are better provided for in the city.
