Living in the city or living in the country?
Some people prefer the city, others like the countryside: the place
where you live should reflect your personality and your lifestyle.
If you live in a big city, everything is very convenient and you
never have to travel far to get anything. Shops stay open until late
into the evening, and some stay open 24 hours a day. There are always
lots of things to do, and you can see all the latest films, exhibitions,
and concerts. There are plenty of buses and taxis, and it is easy to
get round.
Unfortunately, if you live in a big city you have to put up with all
the traffic and the pollution. Some people don`t care about their
environment and throw litter everywhere, and the walls are often covered
in graffiti.
Living in the country is great if you like doing outdoor activities
such as walking and mountain biking. Houses are usually cheaper in the
country, and people have more space. A lot of people have their own
gardens. The quality of life generally is better in the country. People
are friendlier and more relaxed, and there is less pollution than in the
cities.
The trouble with living in the country is that it can be a little bit
boring sometimes. There is not so much entertainment available, and you
often have to travel a long way if you want to see a film or do the
weekly shopping.
All in all, there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages to both
cities and the countryside, so the choice where you live will depend on
your personality and requirements.
