 The introduction
The countryside mouse was very glad to see his good friend, a city mouse. He gave
his friend the best dinner as he could find. One day the city mouse invited the country
mouse to visit his house in the city. At the city where two mice were eating dinner happily,
there were sometimes dog and cat came to fear them. They were frightened to escape from
the dog and cat. So, finally the countryside mouse decided to live in the countryside to eat
simple corn and apple safely without fear. Simply, different people have different purposes
of choosing their place to live. Some people want to live in the city, but some want to live in
the countryside. Anyway, here are three main reasons of choosing to live in the countryside,
such as natural environment, peace and harmony, and less cost or expense.
 The body
To begin with one reason to live in the country is the natural environment.
Naturally, the countryside contains an extremely spectacular view, fresh air and
green almost everywhere. These things make our lives become cool and convenient
to live with. This is in fact that people cannot live without nature. Because it is not
just beautiful, but it also produces oxygen for all lives. Furthermore, it also reduces
much carbon dioxide from smoke or other plastic burning. Also, people live happily
because there is less pollution. For example, there are not too many people live in,
too much smoke from the factories or industrials, and water is also clean if
comparing to the city. So, the environment is full of green and fresh atmosphere.
 The body
Next, the countryside is peace and harmony. People who have
settled down in the countryside are actually polite, friendly and kind.
They do not mind too much. Especially, when there has a party or
event in the community, they gather each other for helps with getting
paid. They use their hearts to participate in until it is completely
finished. One more thing is that there are no robbers or thieves that
cause the insecurity in the community. This is because they help each
so much when a bad thing happens.
 The body

Last but not least, the cost of products or things in the countryside is
very suitable or cheap. People do not need to have much money in order to
live because at the local markets everything is low-priced. For instance, if we
have 5000 to 10,000 riels, we can afford with enough food to eat for a whole
family. Basically, some people can crop and feed their domestic animals for
their food as well. Thus, even we do have money, we still survive by using our
crops or animals as food temporarily. Therefore, life is not too much stressful
because of the money because everything is surrounding their houses.
 The conclusion

To sum up, people who choose to live in the countryside are

much better due to three crucial reasons, natural atmosphere, top
security and harmony, and less expense. Most of the people are
struggling for better lives, and seek for the available place to live,
so I strongly recommend that if you want to live in peace without
fear and bothering, the countryside is the best choice for you.
