WHERE TO LIVE--IN THE CITY OR THE COUNTRY
WHERE TO LIVE--IN THE CITY OR THE COUNTRYMany people appreciate the conve niences of the city. The city has better transportation service and health care. City dwellers can easily enjoy themselves in restaurants, department stores and con cert halls. They are well-informed about what is going on at home and abroad, and have the access to better education, better jobs and more opportunities for business.
But country life is also attractive. With the fresh air, the green trees and the singing birds, country people are close to nature and live a quiet life. They can make friends with simple and honest men or wander about leisurely without any pressure upon their mind.
Both the country and the city, however, have their own disadvantages. In the country, educational facilities, medical services and transportation systems are still not fully developed. And the city also has many problems, such as heavy traffic, air pollution, great noise and poor housing conditions.
As far as I'm concerned, I hate the terrible dirt and noise in the city. So, given the chance, I would prefer to live peacefully in the country.
