Advantages and disadvantages of living in the country

Living in the country is often the secret dream of certain city – devellers however, in reality it has its advantages to living in the country. Firstly, one is much closer to nature and can enjoy more peace and quiet. In the country the air and water are cleaner. Fruit and vegetables may grow and they are always fresh. In addition the life in the country is much slower and people tend to be more open and friendly.

A further advantage is that it is a safer place to bring up children. On the other hand there are certain drawbacks to live outside the city. First of all, because there are fewer people, one has a smaller number of friends. Moreover entertainment, particularly in the evening is difficult to find.
Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services often means that there are fewer employment opportunities. In contrast, one may have to travel long distances to work elsewhere, and this can be extremely expensive. Cities offer better education and it’s easier to find a good and interesting job. In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others. Therefore, it is often the best place for those who are retried or who have young children.
On the other hand, young, single people who want some excitement are better provided by the life in the city.
