LIFE IN THE CITY AND IN THE COUNTRY

1. Let’s talk about life in the city and in the country.

People are always wondering which is the ideal place to live:the country or the city. The thing is that both have advantages and disadvantages.

Life in the city is more comfortable. Here there is everything: all kinds of shops and supermarkets, schools and universities, places of interest, cinemas,concert halls, better and more convenient infrastructure, hospitals and other facilities. And the service is better. There are more opportunities to find a good, well-paid job and make a successful career. Cities offer faster Internet connections.

On the other hand, living in the city has also disadvantages. The air in the cities is polluted with carbodioxide and sulphur [salfe] (сера) generated by car fumes. There is heavy traffic and it is difficult to find a parking place, especially in the centre. Some cities are overpopulated. Shops, streets and public transport are overcrowded. People feel mental discomfort connected with living conditions.

As for the country… First of all, there aren’t many entertainments. It is sometimes difficult to get to school, hospital or shops. In the country it`s difficult to find a good job and it is a problem with a public transport. People need to have their own cars if they want to get somewhere very quickly. So the life can be dull and too quite.

But on the other hand it`s quieter and more peaceful, there is no traffic, no noise. People can relax, go to the forest, enjoy beautiful landscapes, the air is also much cleaner. The life in the country is safer and not as expensive as the life in the city. When you want to save your health and to have a healthy family you must live in the country!

Where would you like to live: in a city or in the country? Why (not)?

I feel really lucky to live in a town. But if I choose I would prefer to live in a big city. I would like to be aware of lots of things. From my point of view life in the city is much more interesting. I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. I always find wonder and adventure in cities. In large cities you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Another aspect of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available.
