Some people like to live in big cities. They say city life is colorful, convenient and exciting. There are shopping malls or supermarkets everywhere, so you can buy anything you like, while in the country, shops are very far away from your house. It is difficult to do shopping. In cities, people enjoy themselves in many ways in their spare time, going to the cinemas or theatres, taking a walk in the park, or watching a footfall game…
But others prefer to live in the countryside. They say cities are crowded with people and cars. It is noisy. While people are suffering from all kinds of noise, you can enjoy yourself by sitting on the hillside watching the cattle around you. And now cities are becoming dirtier and dirtier. Factories and cars send out poisonous gases, which pollute the air and sky over cities is often gray. Water pollution and white pollution are also big problems in cities.
