Living in City and Country

            Living area is something important for people. Many people have a dream about where they will be living in the future. There are two places that we can choose, living in a city or living in a country. Both of these places are so different. City has facilities that country does not have it. The purpose of this essay is to contrast and compare the difference between the activities, cost, atmosphere and transportation of living in a city and in a country.
Jakarta City
          Living in a country is not having activities as interesting as living in a city. In a country, people go to farm, give feed to the cattle or just stay at home. Sometimes in free time, they go to a garden to see beautiful scenery or go to food stall to gather with their friends. It is so different with people who live in a city. In a city, people can do many activities such as go to office, go to sport centre, go shopping and many others. In free time, they go to cinemas, shopping centers, parks or museums.
      The cost of living in a city is higher than in a country because everything is expensive in city. We need money to pay everything, from the small things until the big things. For example, in the city, we have to pay parking fee. It is so contrast with living in the country. In country, we do not have to pay parking fee, we can park our vehicle everywhere without pay.

          The atmosphere in s country is better than in a city because there are many plants, so it makes the air fresh and clean. Besides, there is less transportation and factory. It is overturn with the atmosphere in city. In a city, many people move by their cars and this effect lead to form unexpected pollutions. New factories, skyscrapers and blocks of flats or building and many trees are cutting down to do the place for this buildings and it makes the air full of pollution and not clean.
          Another different between these two places is the transportation. Transportation in a city is better than in a country. In a city, there is much transportation that we can find in a city such as trains, buses, public transportations, taxis and it is easy to find it. In a country, so hard to find the transportation like in a city because many people still use pedicabs, carriages and public transportations.

          There are many different between living in a city and living in a country, especially in activies, cost, atmosphere and transportations. It does not matter what place for living decided to choose. Depending on what the people like or what the people need for living.
