Do you prefer to live in a city or in the countryside?
It’s difficult for me to provide you with a straightforward answer in terms of where I prefer to live because both situations have advantages as well as disadvantages.
Firstly, living in a city is usually easier and more comfortable as you are closer to basic facilities such as shops, schools or health centres. It makes your life easier since you can often go quickly to anywhere on foot or by public transport without using a car. It’s extremely important in case of emergency when having good access to a hospital is paramount. In addition, living in a city makes it easier to keep in touch with your loved ones.
However, cities are normally so crowded and noisy that it can be rather stressful, especially to calm people. Furthermore, flats are usually small and gardens are uncommon. Whether or not it’s a problem depends on your needs, taste and expectations. Pollution is an important disadvantage as well, since it can make your quality of life worse.
On the other hand, living in the countryside is relaxing and peaceful as you aren’t annoyed at noisy neighbours or bustling traffic. These disgusting noises are replaced with the songs of birds. You can also live a healthier lifestyle and enjoy nature. For example, it’s possible to go daily for a pleasant walk through the countryside or to access to organic products, which are healthier and tastier.
Nevertheless, some people are prone to feel alone and depressed if they don’t have regularly contact with other people. Having a car is also mandatory and if you work in the city, commute will take you a long time.
That being said, I prefer to live in a city although I have to admit that I sometimes miss the peace of the countryside.
