Nowadays a certain section of people believes that residing in the urban area is better, whilst others would rather live in the
countryside
. In
this
context

I will describe the pros and cons of living in the
city
and summarise my opinion.
First
of foremost, taking the benefits into consideration of residing in the
city
, it offers convenience to the resident as everyone in the modern day spends a busy life. In Sri
Lanka

the commercial area is situated in the
city
, where it is easier for the public to commute from their residence to the workplace.
Moreover
, access to the shopping malls, international food chain outlets, movie theatres and other government authorities, whilst the benefit of living in the
countryside
offers a calm and relaxation to your mind and soul as it is less crowded as the occupant does not spend a busy life ,unlike the living in the
city
.
For example
, in Sri Lanka shopping malls are located in the urban area, as many residents
such
as youngsters, and families spend their weekends or weekdays after work at the mall
thus
they hover around, and everything is available under one roof.
Besides
the benefits, there are drawbacks to living in the
city
as well. To elaborate more, one of the predominant rationales is traffic congestion where there is air and sound pollution, in comparison to the
countryside
. To illustrate
further
on
this
in Sri Lanka approximately 80% of traffic congestion in the
city
than in the
countryside
. In conclusion, in my point of ,view as everyone in
this
day and age spend a busy life ,
therefore
, they choose convenient to live in the
city
rather than residing in the
countryside
, regardless of the environmental pollution, as the core advantage is convenience.
