I think living in the countryside is far better than living
in the city. There are numerous of reasons why living in countryside is the
better than the city. The scenery, the streets, the people and the paced are
totally different compare to the city.
The first outstanding characteristic about the countryside
is that it is beautiful and peaceful. The air is fresh and the surroundings
green. This is because the countryside is free from pollution, be it air, land
or noise pollution. There no such perfect peaceful view that you can see other
than in the countryside.
There are no crowded streets and heavy traffic in the
countryside. Thus there are no fumes from cars and smoke from factories
buildings to pollute the air. The trees surrounded the countryside help the
people from inhaling the polluted air. The freshness smell of plant somehow
helps the people of the countryside to have a healthy life.
Furthermore, people in the countryside are more conscious of
keeping their surroundings clean and so there is little throwing of rubbish
everywhere, only at designated places. This is unlike the cities where if the
garbage trucks do not collect the rubbish disposed by household or restaurants,
the city will be overflowing with rubbish! This will attract the mosquitoes,
fly, rats and wild dogs to pollute their surrounding that will cause them to have
diseases like dengue and cholera.
Thirdly, heavy traffic and crowded streets increase the
level of noise pollution. The honking of cars in the streets is continuous and
the crowds on the roads increase the hub of activity. There are also sound of
the machine used in manufacturing factories, loud radio in and out the mall.
These add to the noise of the city. Even if one lives in residential areas, one
is never far from busy streets.However, in the countryside, life is slow-paced. There is no
need to rush around because there are not too many places to go. Most places
are close by and people can walk or cycle. Less vehicle used, so less fumes is
released.
The most heart-warming thing about the countryside is the
attitude of people. People are friendly and helpful. If there are any happy or
festive occasions, everyone pitches in to help. This feeling of cooperation and
neighbourliness is what separates the countryside from the city. In the city, people are too busy to take note of the people
around. Some hardly even know their neighbours. So they would not even be
bothered about what happens to people around. This is why the crime rate is
increasing in the city because bystanders do not rush in to help if a crime is
committed on the streets.
The pace of life in the countryside is slow so people have
more time to enjoy life as the day goes on. Thus, for me to enjoy the quality
of life, I prefer to live in the countryside.
