Many people think that living in the countryside provides a better way of life.
I belive that there are people who like living in the countryside and that they also think that it provides a better way of life, and for some, the countryside is really disgusting.
On the one hand, people think that living in the countryside has health benefits. One of the most important benefits is that there is less pollution than in the city. Moreover, the life is quieter, you can rest better. In addition, their day to day is relaxed. They can walk without any worry.
On the other hand, the city has a better communication(commuting modes). There are more public transport than in the countryside. Besides, there are lost ( 'lots' -- typo I guess) of cultural offerings and opportunities for fun, for instance, museums, restaurants... Moreover, there are more opportunities to find a job.
To sum up, I would prefer to live in the city during my working life and then move to the country side when I retire.
