Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about.
However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First, you can
enjoy peace and quietness. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier. A further
advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.
However, there are certain disadvantages or drawbacks to life outside the city.
First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition,
entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact
that there are fewer shops and services means that it is hard to find jobs.
In short, it can be seen the country is more suitable for some people than
others. On the whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young
children. In contrast, young people who have a career are better provided in the city.
