Suggested answers: Cities are exciting, interesting places to live, and I have always enjoyed living in them, as there is so much to do and see. There are museums, cinemas, theatres, art galleries, parks ,coffee bars ,clubs and many other places where people can meet and

exchange ideas. But there are times when I need the peace and quiet of the countryside. Cities are interesting, and they can be beautiful, but they are never beautiful in the way that the countryside is beautiful .By this I mean that they do not have the beauty of nature, trees and hills, lakes and streams. I love cities, but there are times when I need to get out into the countryside and get away from the noise, the dirt and the people .I think that there are many people who feel the same way.
