TOWN VERSUS COUNTRYTOWN VERSUS COUNTRYINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

the countryside.

B) Open places in the city are mainly parts for children playing football,

educational games and gardens.

C) We can consider open spaces the urban green areas in general.

AMENITIESAMENITIES

LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE LIVING IN A TOWN

In the countryside the amenities aren´t many because they don´t have

many places where they can relaxe or things that make their life easier. For example, in the

countryside ther aren´t many means of transport just cars and bus. For buying something they

have to go the city. Probably they only have a supermarket.

So, the countryside is very poor in facilities.

In the city they have lots of amenities, they have good facilities, lots of

places for amusing themselves like theatres, museums, libraries,

shops, cinemas and sport facilities. We can go easly to somewhere

because there are different means of transports like taxis, buses,

undergrounds and others.In the city we can find all we need,

like the police stations, job centres and banks.

ENVIRONMENTENVIRONMENT

LIVING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE LIVING IN A TOWN

Here, we can relaxe from the stress of the city. We have fresh air, a calm and peaceful scenery. We can forget about the confusion of living in the city because in countryside, we haven´t noise,

queues, traffic jams.To rest there isn’t a better place

than countryside.

It´s very stressful living in the city because it is a synonym of

busy, traffic jams, pollution, crowds and queues.

In city the probablity of crime is higherr because there are too

many people.

TOWN VERSUS COUNTRYTOWN VERSUS COUNTRYCONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

In country we can constantly be in contact with nature, it´s calmer, quieter and if someone wants to rest it´s the best place to go.

There are many differences between living in the country or living in the town.

TOWN VERSUS COUNTRYTOWN VERSUS COUNTRYCONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

In my opinion, the ideal is having two houses, one in the country and another in the town. To rest the best is the country, to work the town.

In town, we have all facilities, places to go amuse ourselves like shops, theatres and all we need we can find in town.
