Life is very different in two places, but there are things that I like about each of them. 　　
In the country it is quiet and beautiful because there are not many people. The air is clean, and there is beautiful scenery all around. The people who live in the country seem friendly and helpful to their neighbors. The cost of living is low there because food is usually cheap. I like living in the city, too. In the city there are interesting things to do all the time. People have a big choice of activities. There are latest?movies, and most of the theatres are good. Everything is convenient here, because in the city you usually live close to grocery stores and schools. Traffic is efficient, so it is easy to get from one place to another.
　 Every coin has two sides. You can decide where to live.
