Living in the city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don’t need to own a car, which is necessary when you live in the countryside. Besides, there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. If you live in the village, you have almost nowhere to go, but if you live in the city, you can eat in good restaurants, visit museums and go to the theatre and to concerts. What is more, when you want to relax, you can usually find a park where you can feed the ducks or just sit on a park bench and read a book. All in all, city life is full of bustle and variety, and you will never feel bored.267However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but unless it is very wellpaid, you will not be able to afford many of the things that there are to do, because living in the city is often very expensive. It is particularly difficult to find good cheap accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every citydweller is looking for some open space or green grass. On the contrary, the air in the countryside is very clean and there are no noisy crowds, so living in the country can add several years to your life. Last of all, despite all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city because people often don’t know their neighbours. In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people, who like the excitement of the city and don’t mind noise and pollution. However, a lot of people, when they get older, and particularly when they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside, especially in summer
