There are many advantages as well as disadvantages of living in a village. One of the most important pluses of such life is that there are no traffic jams there. The air is clean and it is much more quiet. Moreover, you can take long walks to the forests whenever you want. You may also relax lying on the grass and watching the sky. You know your neighbors very well and have many friends. People around you are open and nice.
One of the most important disadvantages of living in the country is that it is much harder to find a job there. There are fewer places, where you can work. There are not many shops and services and particularly no bigger companies. The high rate of unemployment makes huge problem for people living there. Moreover, if you want to do bigger shopping or visit any other place, you need to have your own car. There are not many means of public transportation. There are no places, where you could entertain yourself in the country. You cannot go to the pub, or watch films in the cinema. If you are interested in culture, you need to travel long distances to go to the theatre or to the museum.
I live in the city, but I have one friend, who comes from Zduny- a village near Wroclaw. I asked him, if she likes living there. She said that she really hates rural life and that she dreams of living in the city. She can see only bad points of such life. For her, the worst thing is that there are no good schools. To be able to learn in a better school, she has to go to the town, which is 30 km far from her home. It seems to be very uncomfortable for her.
In my opinion, rural life is good only for those, who love peace and silence and want to have live without much stress. For teenagers, a city is certainly much better place to live. Countryside is good for wealthy people, who spend their holidays there. Otherwise, I think that it is better to live in the city.
