Living in the country is what people from the city often dream about However, in reality, It has both
advantages and disadvantages.There are certainly many advantages to live in the country First of all, you can enjoy peace and quiet Moreover, people tend to be friendlier A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it
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, the fact that 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 whose careers are better provided for in the city
1 What do people from the city often dream of?
2 What are the advantages in the country?
3 What are the disadvatages in the country?
4 Are there more shops or fewer shops in the country?
5 Is it easy to look for work in the country?
