f/ Do you prefer the city or the countryside? Why?
Your opinion
Country
City
Suggest ideas :
I prefer the city because life in the city is more comfortable than in the country. There is more entertainment, more schools, more libraries, and more facilities.

I prefer the countryside because it`s quiet and peaceful. Life in the country is simple, people are friendly, the air is clean and the traffic is light.
