    Where should we live? Whether country or city is better? That is somehow very difficult to answer and depended on individual situation. Both living in the country and city have their own advantages and disadvantages. In my point of view, I like to live in the country rather than in city because of following reasons:
    The first reason for living in the country is that I can join to the nature. Every early morning when I wake up, I can hear the bird singing the love song, see the first sunlight through the leaf, feel the fresh air touching my hair, and open my mind for the hope of a beautiful day. I can sit on the grass, look at million stars shinning on the night sky, and dream of a good future. The second reason why I like to live in the country is that I have many good-relationship relatives and friends living around me in the same village. People living in the country seem to have the warmest heart. We can share any difficulties, happiness, sadness to be together in order to overcome everything. Another reason for living in the country is that it is very good for the health. It is true that people living in the country have longer life than in the city. In the country, people do not suffer from pollution of air, water, land etc… People can eat fresh fruits, vegetables, fish, work in the open air, and relax when stress. Therefore, living in the country is fantastic.
    While living in the country has a lot of advantages, there are many troubles when you are living in the city. Firstly, the city is crowded. The population of the city is creasing day by day. There is no place for traffic system. People waste time, lost money because traffic jam is happened everyday, everywhere. Secondly, the city has been polluted by industrialization. Rice field was replaced by golf, the river was death, and the air was full of dangerous dust. Obviously, Polluted environment cause many health problems to the citizen. Finally, living in the city will change person to a machine. People lost the feeling to others, work from early morning till night, have no time to have a rest, and do not take care well for the family.
    In conclusion, although there are many advantages of living in the country and a lot of disadvantages of living in the city, living in any where is depended on the purpose of each person. We should improve the advantages and reduce disadvantages of the place where we are living in order to get the best life.

    I also was born and brought in the country. Now I study at university in the city. It’s very hard to live and study in the city. In the city, the environment is polluted and the air is very dusty because of cars, motorbikes, machines, industrial parks, etc…You know, density of people live in cities is higher much than its in countries, therefore there are a huge of people join traffic. So traffic is usually jammed at many roads. I often go to school by bus and it takes me a lot of time to go to school because of traffic jam or waitting time. It makes me tired of and I have headache or influenza often. that’s contrary of living in the country. In the country I feel more comfortable and healthier with clean air and quiet space. I’m happy to see everyone in my family. People in country are very friendly and open-hearted. I can share everything when I’m up or down. It’s very diferent from the city, they seem unfriendly and difficult of approach I think It’s because of bustle life of the city. however there are a lot of entertainments that you can take and univercities and copanies are concentrate here. In generally, life condition is highter in city than its in the country. About me, after I greduate I will find a job and work in a big city and when I retire I will come back your country and spend remain lifetme there

    Hi everyone. I think that living in the country and living in the city both have advantages and disadvantages. About being good for health, living in the country has more things than living in the city. In the country, the air is more fresh, not polluted by cars, motobikes, machines, factory, etc… The cost for life here is cheaper than living in the city. The culture in the country is more traditional. The relationship between people is more friendly. But in the country, the conditions of life is not as good as in the city. In the city, people have more conditions to develop. So I think that we should not conclude living in the country or living in the city is better. Who grew up in their place will feel this place is whether comfortable or not. In my personal, I am living in the city, I will try to build a happy life myself. But after that, I will find a land in the country to build a house for my remaining happy life with my family. Thanks so much for listening to me. Goodbye.

    living in country is now the intention of many people, especially the old. why people want to spend life in countryside? it is simple to understand, there are many benefit that country life can bring to us. the first benefit is the pure atmosphere. in the country, the air is very fresh without dust which is heavy in a crowed city. every early morning when you wake up and go out to enjoy a really clean air with soft winds and fragrance, I can say that it is a very wonderful time. it seems you can feel all the bliss of life. beside, there are many many trees, birds, fireflies in countryside, they paint a beautiful picture of nature.the third reason can convince you to live in country is the comfort of life. if you have a heavy stress in city, don’t hesitate to live in a village. no stress, so pressure, and your life is completely comfortable. you don’t have many things to think, nothing can annoy you. in addition, living in country is a good way to improve the health. thanks to the advantages of country, the physical and spirit health can be better. however, if you live in country it is harder to be rich because not many jobs, companies, and so on. so the old who suffered from a competitive life in a crowed city ofter choose country is the station for the remainder of life.

    The country has always been known to be a place of peace and quite with the scattered houses among hundreds of plant and trees.Life in here is slow and not full of activity as life in the city. In the morning, the workers leave their home early to work in the plantations, some people go out to catch fish in the streams and rivers found in the country. Most people use rudimentary transports such as bicycle, delivery tricycle, cart,…so the air is pure and fresh, don`t have a lot of smoke and noise from trafics, traffic jams hardly happen. People of country are not so busy, they have a lot of time to pay more attention one another. After a hard working day, they meet and talk about things which happened, share happiness, sadness, and intentions in life, usually discuss events at home and abroad so they understand one another more. The life is not rich and modern, the people do not usually earn money but they seem to be contented. On the other hand, living in the city is complex and full of activity. An industrialize, people are busy with their work, they do not have free time to meet and talk to their friends and neighboors. Everybody has private life and pay less attention one another, they do not know share difficulties with anybody so there are more and more introverts. Traffic is crazy with many kinds of motobikes,cars,..so traffic jams and ancidents often happen, enviroment is polluted by smoke from factory, from waste of company,factory, and in people`s daily activities. The life in here is also dangerous. With the coming of night, hundereds of crimes are committed. Thieves and rooers who wait for the coming of night become active and misfortune decends upon many. For the greed of few, many people are killed and some live in constant fear. Therefore the life in the city could be descibed as a place of ceaseless activity. Here, the drama of life is enacted everyday.

    Nice to meet you after a long time that i haven’t into the website pages.
    this is a good topic. I was born in a family in the country. My hometown was a country ago but now it became a my country’s Capital.SO it have had very many change. I have grown up together the change, therefor i’m see with one’s own eyes the change. I still remenber that my country was very quite and peaceful ago. At that time my country have very pond and lake, bamboos, water well and immense ricefield, I usual have a good time with the same childen village in these places. That have been the most happy time in my life up to now, I think that today’s childen won’t have the place to play. And now, everything were different, all thing are no more ( no pond lake, no bamboo, no water well ). These place have changed into high houses and modern industrial factories. Maybe, people that are in my willage have higher and more comvenience life but people seen unfriendly and closer since now day.
    therefor, in the point of my wiew, I think all thing regular have two side of it. although we live in country or city, us life have advantages and unadvantages. the most important is we live a place where we are the most comfortable and happy in that.
    I wish all of you find that place! good luck and happy

    There is a fact that people nowadays likely want to live in the big city than rural areas or countryside.More and more people tend to move to a big city to earn a living and make a better life.It is ,however,believed that living in cities may cause some disadvantages for people.This essay will shown this view.
    First,no one can deny the fact that a big city make it easy for people to make a living.There are so many chances for someone to find a good job with high salary .
    The good environment working with many modern ,high-tech equipments may make it possible for people to save more energy and less tired .It also make more opportunities for people to promote their position in a job.
    Second,it is very cleared that standard of living in cities is much higher than in rural areas.People may be taken a better care with the good heath care system and medical check up in the city .So the life expectancy is higher than rural areas.
    In term of education and social knowledge ,living in a city allows people to access information more easier and faster,that may help people to study and develop well . Be taken a better education system and better care of parents creates more advantages for children in cities to promote in future.
    In city itself ,furthermore people may find their own way easily to play game in many entertainment places and enjoy high qualified food in many restaurant that may rare in countryside.
    Because of all the reason above ,some people may think that living in a big city is a good choice.
    The thing ,however is that living in city somehow may cause bad effects on people.
    More people living in a very limited place in the city may lead to some problems such as pollution,traffic jam and at the result people may fell uncomfortable.
    As a matter of fact citizen who want to make a better like have to suffer from more pressure of occupation ,physically and so many things that can result in more stress and more tired .It is ,moreover very difficult for people to find a quiet place to stay alone or enjoy the beautiful natural scene like in the countryside.
    In my opinion whether people live in a big city or not depend so much on their point of view .It is however recommended that young people should experience there life in cities rather than in rural areas.

    Hochiminh City, formerly known as Saigon, locates at the heart of the southern part of Viet Nam, between the northern edge of the Mekong Delta and the South Eastern region of volcanic red soil.
    Hochiminh City is a young city, with 300 years of establishment and development.
    Over the past three centuries, Saigon, once praised as the “Pearl of the Orient”, was known as an important trade center for Chinese, Japanese and Western merchants. It had also been christened the “Paris of Asia” for its wide boulevards lined with the stately trees and magnificent French villas.
    The city, which a total population of over seven millions, is the largest city in Viet Nam, a major hub for commercial, tourist, cultural and scientific activities
    This always-in-rush-hour city is full of fumes. The streets, where much of the city’s life takes place, are a lot of street markets, shops, sidewalk cafes, stands-on-wheels and vendor selling wares spread out on sidewalk.
    However, in crowded urban areas is traditional and timeless beauty of an ancient culture. A mix of the old and new is witnessed where the skyscrapers with faded French colonial buildings, where one would easily find something to entertain himself whether he wants to discover museums, pagodas, markets or just sipping coffee in a sidewalk cafes, chatting with fellow travelers, listening to thumping music.
    A trip to Hochiminh City offers you a good experience of warm emotions: the incredible pride and genuine warmth of its people, the richness of its culture, the depth of its tradition and the diversity of its landscape. You will be welcomed, celebrated, and made to feel like family. You will be greeted with smiles, waves and shouts of “hello!”.
    Dynamic, bustling, crowded but liberal and friendly, Hochiminh City has so much to offer to visitors.
    Hochiminh City is more polluted than rural areas. Streets are always full of vehicles with much smoke and noise throughout the day. Canals in the city are full of garbage cause the water dirty with unpleasant odor.
    Cost in the city is more expensive than the cost in rural areas. You must pay more for water and electricity, rent… while at countryside you just pay a haft for them.
    Living in Hochiminh City, you have more chances to get the modern life. You can take care of your health in a modern hospital with many doctors better; You are easy to select the good university to study so good to your future; and so much more you are not difficult to find a suitable job with your skill and get more money from it.
    Now I would like to live and work in the big city as Hochiminh city because I will be easy to select good university to improve my knowledge and find a suitable job with my skill and enjoy the modern life that makes me more dynamic rich and successful.
    We hope that even though tourism development, but local government has been always improving and developing the features of the city.
    We hope that all tourists and people of the city together hand to the city is always a destination for everyone now and forever.
    The government should improve infrastructure as well as the better policy so that the city will be attracted more foreign investors, tourists more in the future.
    The large area and population crowded so that Hochiminh city distributes a lot of money to yearly nation budget thanks to cultural, commercial, industrial and tourism. If the government knows how to exploit its potential reasonable the city will get suitable development.
    This city is so attractive that many people there to seek for chances to get a job or study.

    Hi all.
    In this topic ,I guest that many people think live in the city is more advantages than in the country .

    WHY ? Because if you live in the city ,you have many conditions to education, to care healthier,…and you can get a good job with high salary .Also ,you can to reach modern technologies for life .For example ,HoChiMinh City is the largest city in VietNam .It’s has many many high building ,factory and there life is very busy and exciting .BUT that city is very noisy ,polluted .Travel in city is very difficult and stressful .

    SO I think if you want have a better life – a life relaxing ,quietly ,not stressful ,I think you should choose a life in the country. In country ,we have fresh air ,clean ,people is very kind and friendly and more and more thing to do good to us health.

    This is the first time I comment ,so hope everyone to sympathize to some mistakes . Waiting other opinions .

    nowadays, people from rural areas are leaving behind their traditional way of life and they tend to move to big city . they believe that in big city they can get jobs with high salary … of course that’s true .
    but lots of people think that living in country is good . there are some advantages when you live in country .for example fresh air , quite andpeacful life , or they don’t worry about space to live .but in city these are problem , it;s not easy for you to find a big house for all family bcause house prices are very high …people have to face to pollution everyday , they always wear mask when they go out because dust is everywhere .But
    in my opinion , i think that big city is suitable for me , first i am a student and my major is business administration . i need a suitable environment to develop my skills . In big city i can meet a lot of people that help me get some experiences in life, and help me improve my interpersonal skills that i need in future .. besides i can work with modern equipments such as the internet …but i never want to spend all my life living in city . after graduate i will get a job and afeter i earn a bit of money i will move to country and buy ahouse where my family spends the rest of our life .
    thus ,both living in country or city have advantages and disadvantages but i think you should choose the place that is convenience for you … hell or heaven , it’s up to you

    Hi everyone. I have just registered to be allowed having some comments about the topic I like.I also read carefully about the other ideas about the city and countryside, and my eyes are so tired now. However, I also want to share my point of view. Everyone surely know so much about the advantages and disadvantages of ling in the city and also countryside. I will not waste time to repeat.

    The problem is most of above people was born and brought up in the countryside, and now please listen to me- a person was born in city.I want to live in the countryside? Are you curious?

    YES, I was born in Hanoi and I have never gone far Hanoi for a week.And I am sure that the rest of my life is still in here.As you know, the places you were born and brought up will get you more impressive than other one. I can not run out this situation. You maybe ask me about the weak points of a big city. I must say that I am so familiar with it like the noise,the fast speeding life, congestion, pollution ( not so serious, you can not get a cancer lung with it), and the people are not so cool (if you are good and friendly with them, they will respond well to you), and many things….City is living with it disadvantages because it is developing. The fact that you see it is overpopulated everyday.And I make sure that most of people coming for other provinces will establish his position here. After graduation or retire, a little of them will return the countryside. I will not tell the reason as you get it.

    Therefore, we can not confuse that Big city has more strong points than weaknesses.
    Normally People will be affected by the places they were born.It is not equal to this topic. You have a family in the country with your own memories so you want to live there. I have nothing there, of course, i will not move there. I am still here although how noisy/pollutions/congestion.. it has. I am also like countryside but just visit in vacation or holiday.It is simple as living in the city makes me dynamic, not boring at all. I can relax anytime I want such as internet, bar, coffee shop, shopping,some recreations in free time. When I am old, I can take part in some club for older, walking in the morning and afternoon,playing with my kids,…

    I honestly say that when you are old or retire, it is not easy to leave your family which you hardly build it. You may go with your husband/wife, but what about your child and grandson?. Believe me if you have a good condition in city, you will have more unforgettable memory here.

    So Please Living in the places that you can protect your family well,help your children access the most update and modern technology is the best way…..

    ———— Hii, my saying maybe digress from the subject, just comment about other comments, but if it is in exam, I will not like this…..^_^…….Ths for your patience to read my ideas.

    I was born in a countryside and I’m studying in Hanoi. There are so many diffirencies between my place where I was born and Hanoi. Each person has his own private memories about the place belonging to their childhood. And I think, no matter if in the city or coutryside, as long as we have good memories of the place, it will become more familiar and beautiful in our mind.
