Some people think cities are the best place to live. Others prefer to live in the countryside. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
There are many places to live in
this
world. Some people
prefer to live in the cities
, while
some like to live in rural areas. This
essay agrees that it is better to live in the countryside
and discusses both views.
First,
it is true to say that living in the countryside
is healthier. The air is fresher and cleaner because there are not many factories pouring out emissions, and no cars emit toxic fumes. What is more, the water is uncontaminated and is safe to drink without worrying about health issues. For example
, people
living in rural areas are proven to have lower rates of breathing problems and lung diseases.
Secondly
, people
living in the countryside
are less likely to suffer from stress. It is mainly because they spend their free time
doing outdoor activities such
as running, planting trees, and playing sports, which relieve anxiety. While
in the cities
, they do not have time
to do that and spend most of their time
watching TV and searching the web. For instance
, people
who live in the cities
are more likely to be overweight and suffer from heart disease due to
their sedentary lifestyle than those who live in rural areas.
To sum up
, living in the countryside
has more advantages than living in the cities
. People
will be healthier, live a stress-free lifestyle, be more active, and will not have to worry about environmental issues such
as air or water. They will also
have more time
to do outdoor activities.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
