Discuss both views
Q: It is thought by some that it is better to live in a city while others believe it is better to live in a countryside. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Answer:Quality of life is often the main factor for people when choosing their place of residence. Some people believe that living in bigger cities offers greater opportunities, while in the opinion of others, life in the countryside is better. In my view, living in big cities is more attractive for young people, whereas calm and quiet rural or regional areas are more appealing for older individuals.
On the one hand, highly developed urban centers attract younger people for a variety of reasons. First, there are countless opportunities for all sorts of jobs. For instance, in large metropolises such as London or New York, it is easier to pursue an artistic career, because of the higher demand for art there. Second, urban areas offer better and more diverse opportunities for a vibrant social life with their rich night life and music festivals. Third, in cities it is easy to get around, since transport is well organized, and traveling to different parts in the city is easy. As a result of such conveniences, cities are magnets for young people to establish their lives and raise their families there. Nevertheless, the frenetic pace of life, pollution and weaker sense of community in large cities might be serious drawbacks for senior citizens.
On the other hand, non-urban areas are quiet and calm. Although the variety of jobs is limited in rural areas, the stress that would be otherwise experienced in a metropolitan area does not exist there. People living in such places are healthier both physically and mentally. In fact, studies show that their life expectancy is higher, hence a desired place to live for those who have retired. However, there might be some downsides for students and younger adults. In the countryside, almost everything is far away and public transport is sometimes not an option since services are not frequent or regular in remote areas. Most universities are also located in the centers of cities, and as a result, students living in rural areas would need to drive long distances to neighboring cities.
The bottom line is that obviously both urban and rural areas offer benefits. While the former offers an ideal choice for career starters, the latter is more suitable for those who are especially looking forward to a peaceful style of life.
