XI. Do you like living in the country or living in the city?

Write a paragraph (120 - 150 words) about your idea (2pts).
Some people really prefer to live in the downtown because of its facilities. But I prefer
to live in the countryside because of many reasons.
First of all, the life in the city makes me uncomfortable, I cannot bear to live in
cramped conditions with the hustles and bustles. We do not have fresh air to breathe,
do not have a space for our children to play and for us to relax. It is really tiring and
upset to wait for hours because of traffic jams. Secondly, the pollution because of smogs
and dusts and noise can make me feel sick. Moreover, I do not feel safe to live in the
city because the criminal situations are rising. , We feel worried when we go out each
time. Thirdly, Nowadays, the conditions of the countryside are better and better, the
gap between the cities and the countryside is narrowed day by day.
I love the silence, I love fresh air. I love the good relationships of people. so I love to live
in countryside.
