is better, while some people think growing up in the city is better. I mostly agree with the former views and my reason will be described in the following paragraphs.
To begin
with the supported view for the countryside, The houses in rural
areas
have many spaces for kids to play or to do some activities and rural pollution is less than in the urban
areas
.
For instance
, when I was young, I went to visit my grandparents in the suburban
areas
. Interestingly, there are a lot of places that I had not seen before
such
as the farms and the place where youngsters gather and play together. The cleared air has appeared in these
areas
and can be useful for children’s health.
Moreover
, The suburbs can help kids to learn how to live. The restaurants in the suburbs are less than in the city and the results are rural adults and children must learn to cook by themselves.
On the other hand
, there are some arguments that urban
areas
are the better place for bringing up adolescents. The cities are more convenient to live in than the countryside. Cities’ people both young and adults can have more access to the facilities
such
as

transportations.
Additionally
, the urban schools and lessons are more effective than in the suburbs. In conclusion, I believe that the countryside is the better place to raise children.

experiences outweigh the knowledge that kids only have to study in their school.
