Living in the countryside is something that people from the city often dream about.
However, in reality, it has both advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages of living in the countryside. 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 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 countryside is more suitable for some people
