THE NEGATIVE SIDE

COUNTRY LIFE: Living in the countryside may be more relaxing, but it can get boring as life is slower. There is
less to do to have fun, like going to the cinema or shopping centre. It is also more difficult to get to places
because often there are no good public transport systems.
Getting a job in the country may also be harder. Most jobs are in the city so people have to drive there every
day and this can be tiring.

CITY LIFE: Living in the city may be exciting but it is also dangerous. The crime rate is higher and people may
feel less secure than in the countryside. Also, there is more pollution because of the cars. So there are more
traffic jams and accidents.
Cities are bigger and so they are more crowded. City life is faster and people are often so busy and stressed
that they don’t have time to pay much attention to their neighbours. Some people may also feel lonely.
