Living in the country is what people from the city often dream about However, in reality, It has both advantages and disadvantages

is safer for young children
However, there are certain drawbacks to live outside the city Firstly, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening Furthermore, there are fewer shops and services which means that it is hard to find work In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some old people than others On the whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children In contrast, young people want to get careers which are better provided in the city
