Cities around the world are continuing to expand as people leave the countryside .Some people prefer to live the city, while other like to live in the countryside. Discuss both views.

It is true that

as a result

of people's exodus from villages to cities, the latter expand in a

starling

so remarkably different or sudden as to cause momentary shock or alarm

startling

pace in order to cater for

such

an unrivalled increase in numbers of population. While certain individuals opt for living in towns because

this

offers them better education, others prefer countryside thanks to its healthy environment. On the one hand, it is perfectly reasonable for some to prefer living in urban regions.

This

is primarily because living over there offers them an arena in which they can have access to better education. In fact, the vast majority of the renowned educational facilities, from different tiers, are located in the heart of cities, and

therefore

, being close to them saves time, effort and expenses.

On the other hand

the countryside

is teeming with spacious green areas which work as a natural lung that refines the atmosphere from virulent substances

as pneumonia and asthma.

For example
