City Life and Country LifeWhat are the differences between city life and country life? When we talk about the city life, we will surely think of tall build-ings, busy streets, flourishing bussinesses and a great many ad-vanced pieces of equipment. What about the country life? The first feeling coming into our minds is peace and quiet. In the country-side , people live a quiet life. They have less noise and pollution than people who live in the city. City life and country life, which is better? The answer is not certain. People who live in the country want to be city people. In their thoughts, city is full of chance and adventure. Today many country youth leave their hometown for big cities in search of a lot of money and good jobs. With the development of industry, more and more pollution is coming out in cities. Citizens have to put up with noise, harmful smoke and dirt. The air is not clean enough for people, especially in the downtown areas. The majority of citizens are tired of overcrowded conditions and bad environments. But in the country, the condition is obviously different. It is pleasant to live with green mountains, clear springs and grand plains. Blue sky, green trees, red sunsets and golden crops. Wow! What a lovely picture! So at present, more and more citizens are eager to escape from the city. In the old days, there was a clear difference between city and countryside. But now some countries look like modern cities, while some cities are as beautiful as the countryside. If we pay attention to protecting the environment while we are developing industry, the city can also have the advantages of the countryside. And we shouldn't forget to develop the country-side. If so, we, the city people or country people, will enjoy both modem and peaceful lives!
