Difference between urban & suburban lifestyle

Intro:
“We can't choose where we come from but we can choose where we go from
there.” American novelist, Stephen Chomsky said. In fact, in the modern life
young people prefer living in the city whereas old people have a tendency to
settle down in the countryside because of fresh air, peaceful landscape. In
particular, urban & suburban lifestyle is quite different in term of pace of life,
eating habit and close-knit relationship.
Body:

much quicker than before,” According to Richard Wiseman, a
professor of psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. For
example, …………. meanwhile people in the countryside can enjoy
the relaxed/slower pace of country life for instance, ……………….
 Eating habit: It might be interesting to explore whether eating
habits are better or healthier in rural areas than in urban ones. In fact,

food, ready-made food, or online food delivery are the best choice)
while in countryside people grow the vegetables and serve

 close-knit relationship : city dwellers work 24hours-------- do not
have time take care their families……. In contrast, living in the
suburban will promote more time for family gatherings. With the
cozy environment is not only with the family member but also the
neighboring as well. It enhances the healthy relationship among the
community.

Conclusion
Restate thesis statement: the pace of life, the way of eating, close
rapport.
Prediction: Due to the fact that, suburban lifestyle is so perfect,
people will move to the countryside in order to downshift to a less
stressful life. ………
