Essay #447 "Growing in the Countryside" 08.04.19 The place we are living define our live in a great degree and therefore people try to find a place to live which will match them. Basically, there are two types of people; first prefer busy city life, later - calm and slow countryside. In my opinion, countryside is a great choice especially for people who want to raise their children. First of all, countryside can provide people with much more quality environment which has a highly positive effect on people’s living standards.This aspect has become especially crucial as the situation with our environment has worsened dramatically. Countryside can provide people with much cleaner air and water and improve their lives in this way. Another point is that in many cases children less affected by negative aspects of big cities, like crime and drugs. As countryside is less exposed to these different negative factors this makes the live there much safer. In many cases this is the main reason why people try to move there when they have children, as they want to ensure them with the best condition for them to grow up. Finally, countryside provide people with close-knit community which is great for raising children. In big cities people in many cases less friendly and neighbors seldom try to maintain good relationships with each other. At the same time countryside create a much better opportunity for people to create a friendly community. To conclude, in spite of the fact that big cities can provide people with much more opportunities than countryside, the later is a better place for children and to lead calm family life. That is why many people try to move there when they have children and this is a really good choice for young families. People should organize their priorities right and make choices which would be the best for their children and family.
