Upgrade: I upgrade it because I found it too accessible for upper sixth form students, the text
content should match their level.
One may think, the city life is better than village life. However there are so many benefits and
drawbacks in city life and village life. Actually the city life is more comfortable. As well as
there are more opportunities for people to progress in their lives. There are a lot of facilities
for people in the city and they have more opportunities for making money. Children living in
the city have more educational opportunities, because there are better school in the town than
in the village. When a person falls ill there are good government and private hospital in the
city to get treatment. There are large shop complexions, banks, offices, cinemas, hostels,
clubs, hospitals etc. People in the city have better transport facilities than the village. There is
electricity, highway, communication, telecommunication, plumb facilities in the city. So
people can lead a fulfilling and high quality life in the city. Although living in the city has
many advantages there are some drawbacks too. The cost of living is very high in the city.
Most goods are very expensive. There is no fresh air and pure water. The environment is
polluted with dust, smoke, garbage and dioxide gases from factories. Widespread corruption
among the city’s populace is the significant driver of crime. This environment fosters
frequent incident of theft and violent acts, including murder. Furthermore, the relentless pace
of urban life contributes to a perpetually busy and noisy atmosphere. There are a lot of
vehicles and people in the road. The streets are dusty and unclean. So it is hard to lead a
healthy life in the city. As well as there are so many opportunities in the village life. Mainly
the people of the village live in unity and peace. The villagers work very hard for their money,
earning just enough to live. So they live less competition with each other. So they can reach a
good position. They have more friends in the community since it is small. The village people
always try to protect their traditional habits and culture. The village has clean air and the
environment is very beautiful. The village has less noise and rush. So the pollution is less. The
village has not lot of vehicles. So roads are less dangerous for driving cycling. They can get
fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. The environment of the village is pleasant and silent and it
has scenic beauty. The village has not only good points, but also it has bad points. The village
has smart people. But many of them do not have educational background. Village people have
to face many difficulties for their lives, like traveling problems. They have to go to the city for
supply their needs. Although the life in the city is more comfortable than village, I like village
life than city.
