Essay about City Life and Country Life

Is it more advantageous to live in the country or to live in a city? Now I’m going to list the pros and contras of each point and then it’s up to you which lifestyle fits better into your life.

So, I start with the city life. There are lots of advantages, for example multifaceted nightlife. Other positive points are the good public transports, so you can go anywhere easily and quickly without taking car. There are aswell a lot of different important things, for instance museums, cinemas, clubs etc. Cities are cosmopolitan, very multifarious in many kinds of things, there are lots of shopping possibilities, and you can find there everything what you need. There are also some disadvantages, for example the noise. There are also expensive apartments, the air is polluted and there are lots of people and very much traffic. People who like to live in a calm area will get easily stressed when they live in a city.

Now I come to the pros and contras of the country life. A big advantage here is that it’s very quiet at the country. You have some peace and quiet, mainly because there are not so much people and less traffic. The little traffic is also a reason, why there’s such a fresh air which means there is no pollution. The life in the country could be the right thing for you if you’re a gregarious person, because everybody knows everybody in small villages, which also could be annoying. That takes me to the negative aspects of the city life. The public transports are very bad developed, because it’s not profitable for metros or busses to drive for only one person or something. If you live there you almost have to have a car because of that. Other points are the little possibilities in various things, less shops, less clubs, etc. So I’d say if you’re always out to make party almost every day and like shopping, the city life would fit better into your lifestyle.

To conclude I’d say that I prefer the country life, because you can have some peace and quiet but also go into a little city to have fun, or in one of the few clubs. I think I’m a real country bumpkin.
