Life in the countryside is quite different from that in the city. First, it is the atmosphere that differentiates the two living environments. In the countryside, the air and water are much fresher and safer, thus living there is totally comfortable and beneficial for our health. In contrast, people who live in big cities suffer from health problems and diseases related to poor air quality and sources of polluted water. Second, the prices and costs of living are cheaper in the countryside than in big cities. Vegetables, fruits, and meats are home-grown and home-produced. However, in cities, people have to go shopping for them. Third, interpersonal relationships are more harmonious and friendlier. Those who live in the same village, especially neighbors, for example, know each other very well. There is close-knit cooperation between people in working and many other daily activities. On the contrary, negatively speaking, city people only live and know their own business. They hardly care about who their neighbors are and what they do. Sending a helping hand, as a result, is never seen among city people. In conclusion, although city life holds many advantages that make life more convenient, I always prefer living in the countryside where the environment is nice, the costs of living is affordable, and the intimate relationships among people are really meaningful. Personally, If I had a choice between a villa in the city and a small house with garden surroundings, the latter would seem better to me.
