In the past few decades, the countryside has experienced lots of changes Because of population growth, more products are needed Therefore, more factories have been

constructed, and young people have more choice of jobs apart from becoming farmers When big cities have become more and more polluted, the fresher atmosphere in the countryside attracts more people Rich people who live in the city for their work often buy a second home

in the countryside to spend their weekend and holiday As a result, the countryside is no longer

a small community of rural people In fact, in many parts of the countryside, there are urban people from nearby cities Additionally, the introduction of the internet creates more

opportunities for increasing rural people's knowledge Many farmers have used machines for tasks that used to be done by hand, which helps them save labour In the near future, it is expected that the countryside will gradually become more similar to big cities
