Tall buildings reach to the sky. Crowds of people walk past on their way to work. The roads are filled with cars and other vehicles. And the whole area is completely clean. It is the perfect example of modern city life.

Country and City

People are always wondering whether the country or the city is the ideal place to live. If there is one preference-which I take leave to make a conclusion-then it is the country rather than the city that provides people with optimal living conditions. There widespread testimonies for it and the primary ones are listed as follows.

The foremost reason for dwelling in the countryside is the soothing and comfortable life provided by the pastoral view. Hardly anyone could resist the clean atmosphere, the friendly neighbors, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living. Those who have enjoyed the first cock crow in the morning, the twittering of birds in the tress and the breathtaking sight of the rising sun would go into rapture at only mere mention of the idyllic life. Relaxed suburban dwellers are able to hold a more positive attitude for life and achieve more accomplishment.

Another subtle explanation rests on the fact that country habitants are fortunate enough to enjoy the cozy and pleasant ambience of the family without exhausting social life. How satisfactory and refreshing it must be to have dinner together with your loved ones in the spacious and pastoral surroundings after a frustrating day! Furthermore, nothing can be compared with the joy of watching heart warming TV programs, playing convivial games and sleeping in the tranquil and relaxing atmosphere.

It would be far more difficult to acquire such pleasure for those urbanites. Consecutive and excessive recreations not only thrift money but also deteriorate people's health, which is the last thing one would like to encounter. Still, it will be a mistake to argue that nothing beneficial combines with city life since several accompanying merits also come along with it. Living in the metropolis means having more accesses to various people involved in multiple attractive cultures. Living in the metropolis also provides plentiful opportunities, both in career and studies.

Nevertheless, the fact that city life makes it more convenient to get a job does not prevent us from concluding that country life is more enjoyable as well as healthful.

Living in the city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don't need to own a car. Also there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. For example, you can eat in a good restaurant, visit museums and go to the theatre or to concerts. When you want to relax, you can go to a park and just sit on a bench and read a book. The city life is full of bustle and variety, and you don't need to feel bored. However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, unless your job is well paid, you won't be able to afford many of the things because living in the city is often more expensive than in the country. It is particularly difficult to find a good and cheap accommodation. Besides, public transport is often dirty and crowded, especially in the rush hour. But in spite of all the crowds, many people feel lonely in big cities. They don't usually say they are lonely - instead they say they have problems with their jobs, their home life, they say they can't sleep or work well or that they are unhappy. But when I speak to them, I find it is often because they don't know 
enough people to spend time with or they find it difficult to meet people. There are thousands of people like this in Moscow - students away from their families for the first time, young people who moved to Moscow to work, mothers with young children, old people living alone. These people don't need hospitals or medicine, they need other people. For the last two hundred years there has been a tendency for people to move from rural to urban areas, mainly in search of work. For me the life in the country is wonderful - all this fresh air and the singing of the birds! What I like most about the country is that everyone knows everyone else, and they are friendly. In the city if you live in a block of flats, like me, you can be there for years and never even get to know your neighbours. There are some in my block I've never seen. There is a lot more crime and violence in the city than in the 
country.



The case for living in the country

[pic]

Big city glamor? Balderdash. Try big city cost. If you want to live like a king (or at least be your own landlord), move to the country.

1. It's cheap. You have to actively try to spend more than $20 on a meal, even a good one. A movie still costs single digits. No one has a clue or cares what brand of clothing you're wearing, let alone whether your shoes, purse or belt are this year's season or last. And did I mention housing? You can live in a real house with multiple bedrooms, multiple bathrooms and a garage. Maybe even a pool. And you can own it  [link]

 

Everything is so close to like the hospital because if I was in a country I would die half way to the doctors where I was supposed to be treated for cancer. Also fast food will live up to their name in city life. Come to think of it some country people don't know what a computer is.



  • The city is amazing

 

What is there to do in the country? Ride horses? Hard work? Cool. If I want do do any of that (not bloody likely) I'll travel to the country. Where as in the city I'm surrounded by amazing culture and art, always having things to do, having so much to see, I can shop where I want, eat where I want, get anywhere with public transport, there are better schools, more jobs, better medical care. As for the loud noise and busy streets; what's wrong with that? It's comforting, natural, I actually can't stand silence. Annoying neighbours? I've never met mine and I've lived here for 16 years 🙌🙌🙌💕💕



  • Kids won't get kidnapped in the country

 

This is false because if a child was kidnapped in the country it would be very dangerous because as you know the countryside is not really busy which means that if a child was kidnapped there would be no one to witness and also no one to help them.Which makes it really dangerous in the countryside.



  • City For Ever

 

Living in the country leaves you with limited access to medical, fire and police services. Decent education is far away and so is everything else. Even your nearest friends are far away. And the big thing... You are far away from the coast. Country and Beach are never near each other. I would never we able to live far away from the fun and enjoyment of the coast.



  • Country life is better

 

Motorbikes, horses, breath FRESH air, no noise, no pollution, city people don't get to experience the country life because there is no greenery or any sense of life left. The country is such a good place to grow up and you will be so much healthier for growing up in a less polluted place! Country is the best!!



  • Live Life, Live City

 

In the city there are so much more leisure activities. Also you have more access to emergency services.
Did you know that only 1 quarter of the people in the world live in the country, why? Because there is nothing to do except for hard work, and who likes hard work?



  • City life is awesome. It rocks...

 

Let's be real, everyone wants to have a comforting life and that is what city life is all about. Its exciting, comfortable, and easy. There are many opportunities available in cities like good medical treatment, transportation, information technologies, recreation, communication employment, entertainment, and you know all that thing that makes your life easy. Therefore I strongly believe that city life ROCKSSS......
