Living in the city has both advantages and disadvantages. It is often easier to find jobs. There are always many choices of public transport. Besides, there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. You can eat at good restaurants, visit museums, go to cinemas and go to parks whenever you want to relax.

However, living in the city is often very expensive. You must find a well paid job, otherwise, you will not be able to afford the things you will do. What’s more, the city is always crowded, noisy and polluted. It is very difficult to find a good place where people can enjoy peace and fresh air as in the countryside.
