If you are living in the city,have you ever thought of going to live in the country for a change
Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think life in the city is more exciting and better than that in rural(农村的) areas,especially young people who like new and modern things.
Often people feel that they can find the latest things only in the city.Other people are interested in new technology and high-tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city.If they want to find a job,especially a good position in a company,they feel they have to live in a city.To get these jobs,they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.
However,it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages of living in the city.
Nowadays,travel is fast and information is available on the Internet,so many people are able to do their work in home offices.
