For and Against
1. Nowadays many people prefer to move from cities and towns to the countryside. Those who do it say that the disadvantages of living in towns and cities are numerous. They don’t want to feel stressed, bump into each other in crowded streets and shops or breathe the polluted air.
These people often describe the advantages of living in villages and on farms. They speak about the direct contact with nature and wildlife. Such a contact has a positive influence on humans. One cannot but agree that life in the countryside is healthier, more peaceful and relaxing and probably safer than life in the city. But is it better? Is it more interesting? Do answers to these questions depend on a person’s age, family traditions, their likes and dislikes? We should not forget such things as opportunities to get a good education, an interesting job or decent medical care either. There is also a problem of boredom as there is very little social life in the countryside. In some places there are no kindergartens or schools, modern cinemas, museums or art galleries, no fashionable shopping centres.
So if you ask which place is better for living, a city or the countryside, the most objective answer is “It depends”.
2. In industrially developed countries there is a tendency for people to leave big overcrowded cities and move to the countryside where they find peace, quiet and an unpolluted environment.
So what is wrong with cities? Only a few decades ago they seemed to be so attractive.
A lot of people will tell you that life in big cities is really stressful. The city centres are full of busy and noisy activity day and night and the suburbs are usually dull, overcrowded and tend to have criminal problems. The roads in towns and cities have become unsafe, especially during the rush hours when drivers and their passengers waste time in traffic jams. Besides, not all parts of big cities look beautiful, some of them actually look quite ugly with similar high-rise crowded buildings.
On the other hand, some other parts of towns and cities may look fantastically picturesque.
There is always a lot to see and to do in towns and cities. They offer many more job opportunities than a small place in the country. They have a good choice of schools, universities, libraries, museums and theatres.
To sum up, I can say that both towns and the countryside have their own attractive features. So people should be able to decide what lifestyle is closer to them.
