It is a fact that while some people like the peaceful
life
 of a
countryside
, others would rather opt for the fast paced, lifestyle found in cities. I believe, needless to say, both options have merits and demerits, especially in terms of lifestyle and
economics
Suggestion
economic
 opportunities.
First
,
city
life
 is more appealing because of the immense career and business options offered in a variety of sectors,
that is
 missing in the
countryside
. People with qualifications in engineering, medicine and so on
,
Accept space
,
 can all find jobs in a
city
 but not in a
countryside
.
Therefore
, the urban areas like Mumbai, New York or Sydney, are teeming with people.
Second
, a
city
 provides a plethora of avenues of entertainment, which are lacking in the
countryside
. To exemplify, there are many movie theatres, shopping centres, stadiums, concerts and so on, in different parts of a
city
 where people can have relaxation and enjoyment.
Finally
, cities
also
 offer good education and health care facilities which are rarely found in the
countryside
. People
hence
 flock to cities for world
class education
Accept comma addition
class, education
 or medical treatment. On the other side
,
Accept space
,
 rural living offers a peaceful
life
, away from the rat race of a
city
. People in the
countryside enjoy
Accept comma addition
countryside, enjoy
 nature, a healthy lifestyle, calm, quiet and a less expensive
life
. One does not have to deal with traffic, pollution and competition for space, commodities and even jobs, whereas urban living demands constant actions and expenditures, by way of new car, gadgets and attires. To conclude, according to me, though people’s preference of cities or the
countryside
 varies depending on their needs
,
Accept space
,
both the country and
city
 offer benefits. The
countryside
 offers a salubrious environment with serenity while the urban areas deliver more means of earning a living, apart from other
facilitaties
a building or place that provides a particular service or is used for a particular industry
