Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, it has both
advantages and disadvantages.

There are certainly many advantages of 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 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, there are fewer shops and services so it is quite hard to find jobs. As a result, you may have
to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.

In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is often the best place for those who are retired or who
have young children. In contrast, young or single people who have a career are better provided for in the
city.
