Топик "Жизнь в городе и деревне"

Living in a city and in a country.

First of all I would like to say that living in a city and in a country has both advantages and disadvantages.

To my mind, life in the city is much easier than in the country, because we have developed transport system, shopping malls and so on. You see it is easier to find work and there are a lot of interesting things to do and to see.  For example you can eat in restaurants, visit theatres and spend your free time at famous nightclubs.  Life is more convenient in a city: services are always better here. Besides in the city people have more chances to be successful and to be famous.

But   for every plus there is a minus.  For example you have   a job, but if it is not well-paid   you can’t enjoy this city life   as it is expensive. A lot of people move to big cities to find a good job or to enter the University, but if you don’t have your own flat it is not so cheap to rent it and it looks like a problem. The next disadvantages are   noise and traffic jams. I think that citizens become very nervous and stressful because of these problems. What is more, sometimes it is very difficult to find open space and green grass, especially at weekend when parks are overcrowded!

If you prefer peace and fresh air it is better to live in the country. I am of opinion that living in the village is good for retired people. They like gardening and nature.

As for me I wouldn’t like to live in the country because I feel bored there. It is enough for me to visit a country at week-ends when I go to my grandparents. (17 предложений)
