Living In The Countryside

Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. As the advantage the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't so heavy. You are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are much cleaner. There aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or traffic jams. In the country there are beautiful landscapes such as huge meadows, peaceful hills or forests. Another advantage is that you may easily build a big house and the garden, because charges for ground are much lower than in the suburbs. Moreover, living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city, so you probably may afford many other things, because the prices are lower. You can invite your friends to the barbecue organized in your garden. The other positive side is the safety. There aren't a lot of housebreaks and the possibility of burglary is also lower. In the countryside people usually keep eyes on neighbour's estates. They always react when something strange is happening. Country life is very peaceful and silent.
On the other hand there are also some disadvantages. Living in the country is slower. People don't need to hurry and have a lot of time, but they don't earn so much money. Moreover, there aren't such interesting things to do during free time. The unemployment rate is also much higher than in the city. The problem may be also the communication. If you don't have your own car, you may have problem how to commute to work. The same problem concerns the access to the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village
To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air, breath taking landscapes and comfort, but a lot of people decide to stay in the city, due to the fact that the life in the town is easier.
