I think living in urban areas or rural areas both have advantages and disadvantages. Life in big cities is colourful and convenient. There are many places to have fun, such as cinemas and parks, and there are more job opportunities, and we can almost get everything we need in big shopping centers. But on the other hand, people are far away from others and the nature. Life in the countryside is quiet and free. People have more contact with the nature, and they don"t have to hurry to work. The pace of life is controlled by themselves. But the disadvantage is that life there is somewhat boring. As to myself, I choose to live in urban areas because I"m young and I have to try and I believe big cities can give me a stage to show and I can get everything I want there.
