Write an essay expressing your opinion on the following topic: The advantages and disadvantages of living in the country. Sustain your opinion with relevant arguments and examples.


Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. As the advantage we can consider the fact that 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 so clean.. In the country you are free to admire the breathtaking 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!In the rural area the crime rate is much lower.However, there are also some disadvantages. People in the country don't have to work so many hours as they do in the city. On the other hand, they don't earn so much money. The unemployment rate is also much higher than in the city. The same problem concerns the access to the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village. Last of all, there are some dangers such as heavy snowfall or rainfall.To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air, breathtaking 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.
