Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it

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 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 so it is quite

expensive.
