Houses and homes.
There are different types of houses in Great Britain. They are detached, semidetached, terraced houses. Some people live in mansions, bungalows,cottages and flats. In Belarussian towns most people live in flats but nowadays a lot of nice, spacious cottages are being built around small towns and big cities. People who live in the country usually have their private wooden houses
Living in a city.
I think it’s much more exciting to live in a big city than in a small town or in the country. First of all, there are always lots of people around, even at night, and some of the shops stay open 24 hours a day
Life is never dull. There is a wide choice of entertainments, such as concerts, theatres and exhibitions (In small towns, on the other hand, there’s usually nothing to do, except to go to the cinema or meet your friends in a café.)
You can’t but agree that a big city offers a variety of good things in life. I mean big stores, restaurants, different services, accommodation with all modern conveniences, more opportunities to get good education, more chances of getting a well-paid job. Besides,in a city you can see all sorts of unusual people wearing different fashions (but in a small town, I think, everyone looks almost exactly the same as everyone else)
Some people dislike living in a city because it is often crowded and noisy. They also suffer from pollution Too much noise makes them nervous and stressed but to me the crowds and activity are very exciting.
It’s true that living in the country means being closer to nature. The country is really nice, I mean fresh air, nice scenery, birds singing their wonderful songs, flowers and things like that. It’s really nice to go to the country to spend your holidays or the weekend. The city life is often extremely tiring, and you need to get away from all usual routines, to escape from the stress and the strain of everyday life

One more good thing about living in a city is that it’s easy to get around on public transport, and in any case everything I need is within easy walking distance. So I wouldn’t like to live anywhere else but in a big city
Prove that there are some disadvantages in living in the country
Personally I’d prefer to live in the city rather than in the country. I can bring some arguments that prove that there some disadvantages in living in the country. First, country life isn’t full of variety. It’s a place where nothing goes on from one week to another. People in the country tend to look older than people in towns and as a rule there are more gossips in the country than in a big city.
It’s a well-known fact that services there are worse. I mean schools, hospitals, shops etc. There is a small choice of educational establishments and a small choice of transport. It’s difficult to find a well-paid job. Living in the country you have to be sociable with everyone, everyone wants to know as much as possible about your personal life. You can’t but mention the lack of modern conveniences. No cold and hot running water, no central heating. You don’t have many useful things that make your life easier. So I don’t think it’s a good idea to live in the country all your life.
