Advantages and disadvantages of living in the country.

Living in the country has both pros and cons. One advantage is that there are not many cars. There’s no traffic, no noise, air is no polluted. What is more, if you want to relax, you can go to a forest, sit under a tree and breath with fresh air, which is generally clean in the country. You know everybody, you say ‘hello’ to everyone, it makes friendly tone around you.

However, there are also disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you can’t find work because there’s not many places to work. Most of the factories went under. It is a huge problem for the country. Another point is that there’s a big problem with public transport. It is important to have a car if you really want to go somewhere, go shopping in the city, etc., etc. There’s nothing to do in the country. People are getting bored, there’s no cinema, theatre, discos, pubs or something like that. There are not too many shops where you can buy everything you want. In fact, there’s nothing to buy there. I have a friend in the country. She lives in Black Water 40 km South from Starogard. I made a little interview with her. She told me, that the country is her nightmare, and she wants to get out of there. There are no advantages, but only disadvantages, and the worst is that there are no schools in the area. If you want to go to a good school you have to go about 20 km to the bigger town. It is a big problem.

Finally, I think that the country is only for people who prefer living in peace, for old people. It is not a place for young people. If you want to live in the country you have to be rich and have a car. In other case it is very difficult to live there.
