ESSAY 7. (UNIT 7)

COUNTRY AND CITY

          Nowadays, a vast majority of people are on the fence once they have to decide where to live. These people are always wondering whether the country or the city is the ideal place to settle in. If there is one preference which I take to make a conclusion-then it is the country rather than the city, which provides people with optimal living conditions. There are widespread reasons for it, and the primary ones are listed as follows.

         The foremost reason for dwelling in the countryside is the soothing and comfortable life that the pastoral view provides. Hardly anyone could resist the clean atmosphere, the friendly, hospitable neighbors, the closeness to nature and the gentle place of living. In addition, those who have enjoyed the first cock crow in the morning, the twittering of birds in the trees, and the breathtaking sight of the rising sun would go into rapture at any mere mention of the idyllic life. Moreover, relaxed and suburban dwellers are able to hold a more positive attitude for life and achieve more accomplishment. Besides that, in the countryside, everyone knows everyone and people actually say ‘’hello’’ when they meet each other, as well as offering a helping hand to anyone who is in trouble without asking anything in return; the cost of living there is not as high as that in cities.

       Conversely, the obvious things brought about by noisy and flashy city are more pressure and forever-lasting anxiety, agonizing and torching people’s mind day in and day out. Another subtle explanation rests on the fact that country habitants are fortunate enough to enjoy the cozy and pleasant ambience of the family without exhausting social life.

How satisfactory and refreshing it must be to have dinner together with my loved ones in the spacious and pastoral surroundings after a hectic day! Furthermore, nothing can be compared with the joy of watching heart TV programs, playing convivial games in the afternoons, sleeping in the tranquil, and relaxing atmosphere.

     Therefore, it would be far more difficult to get such pleasure for those urbanites. Consecutive and excessive recreations not only to thrift money but also to deteriorate people’s health, which is the last thing one would like to encounter. Naturally, it is possibly to reckless assert that nothing beneficial combines with city life since several accompanying merits also come along with it. Living in the metropolis means having more accesses to numerous people involved in multiple attractive cultures. Living in the city also provides plentiful opportunities both in career and studies.

       Nevertheless, the fact that city life makes it more convenient to purchase a job does not prevent me from concluding that country life is more enjoyable, fun, as well as healthful and placing a certain amount of reliance on the notion that country life is always the sensible choice. In sum, I do like living in the country for the simple reason that people are more respectfully, more hardworking.
