Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has both its advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First of all, you can enjoy peace and quiet. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier and more open. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.
However, there are certain drawbacks to life outside the city. Firstly , because there are fewer people, you are likely to have fewer friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is harder to find work. As a result , you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others.On the whole , it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast , young, single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.

I live in a small village called Vinh An. There are about 700 people here. I love the village because it is very quiet and life is slow and easy. You have never to queue in shops or banks.
People never throw rubbish in the streets, so the village is always clean – people often look after it with great care. The air is always fresh too. The people here are much more friendly here than in a city because everyone knows everyone else, and if someone has a problem, there are always people who can help.However, there is one thing I don't like about my village is that there is not much to do in the evening. We haven't got any cinemas or theaters. But I still prefer village life to life in a big city
