Can you imagine living in a place free of the noises and traffic jams?  Living in the country (countryside would be a more precise word) could be an alternative to the stressful life in the cities.

There are certain arguments in favor of living in the countryside. To start with, living in the countryside is more peaceful and quieter than living in cities.  As a result life becomes less stressful and more enjoyable.  Another point in favor is that the quality of air is much better than pollution in cities.  Furthermore, living in the countryside is very convenient for children too. They can run free and play outdoors, doing a lot of exercise (or activities) in the open air.

However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The main one is that in the countryside there are fewer facilities for working than in the cities. Most bureaucratic business is done cities, and people who are living in the country are forced to travel to the cities for work. Another disadvantage is when children grow up and want to continue studying.  They have to leave their little village to find a University where they can be educated. (you could also say “where they can further their education”).

All things considered, living in the countryside is the best option for people who are into nature, and would rather to have a peaceful and easy way to live.

Congratulations Arantza, your English is great!  I’m learning Spanish and wish I could write as well as you do.

Pros and Cons of living in the country

Can you imagine living in a place free of the (noises) noise and traffic jams?. Living in the country could be an alternative to the stressful  (live) life   in the cities.

There are certain arguments in favour of living in the country side . To start with, living in the country is more peaceful and quieter than living in cities, and  as a result life    becomes  less stressful and more enjoyable.

Another point in favour is that quality of air is much better than the air pollution in cities. Furthermore, living in the country is very convenient for children too, who can run free and play outdoors , doing a lot of exercise in the open air.

However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The main one is that in the country side there are less facilities than in the cities, ( and a lot of bureaucratic business should be done in cities´offices, and people who still are living in the country are forced to travel into cities to resolve their matters.)  so many people have to travel to the cities to resolve both private and public matters.    

Another disadvantage is when children grow up and want to continue studying, they have to leave their little village to find a university where they can be educated.
All things considered, living in the country side is the best option for people who are into nature, and would rather to have a peaceful and easy way to live.
