I prefer to live in a city because there are more oportunities in there.For exemple, there are more jobs, more stores, schools and etc.For me it is better because I have a family,and I want my children to go to a good school. Also, Iprefer to live in a house because I live privacy. I like to have my garden or,garage that I can not heve in an appartment. I also like city because it is convenient to get to a school or job. I do not need spend much time driving to work or a school.

I prefer living in the countryside than city. When you live in the countryside, you get peaceful life, comfort and fresh air and yet, if you live city, you will have full comfort technologies, and a modern life longer than that but that will not be available in the countryside. I have to move from the countryside to the city when I started to study at a university. The University often had in the city because the city was very large, have enough place to build more universities so students from everywhere could to focus to study.

I prefer to live in cities; I don’t like to live in the countryside because in the city I can find anything I need. For me, raising a family in a city is better than in the countryside, in the city we have more advantages than living in the countryside. In the country, many people raise their food, and in the city you can just go buy any kind of food that you want to buy. I had moved from my country, Mexico to USA because I thought that would give a better life for my kids, and a better education. If I choose a house, I would like to have a big house with one floor. I would also like my kids to live with my husband and me. Also I would like to have a puppy. If I build my house, I will build a big house with two big kitchens, one for my husband and the other for my kids. I have never built a home, but I had a lot of input in the designs and features in the house that my husband and I live in now when we bought this house new seven years ago.

I prefer to live in the city. To justify this option, let me do a brief history of my life. I was born and I grew up in the countryside. I had a happy childhood surrounded by love of my parents. Also, country life gave me the opportunity to joy rides through the surrounding nature. Life in the country gave me the chance to eat only natural foods and breathe fresh air. Unfortunately, life in the country has its privations. School education level is lower than the city, the possibilities of fun too, and not least the education level of people living there, is not too high. After I finished elementary school I went to town for school. There it became obvious for me the difference between a city and a village. School holidays which I spent at my parents in the countryside, I 'seemed dull and boring. For this reason, I love to live in cities. Of course I have described here, the differences between city and country of Romania. But these differences came into my mind very strongly, and make me have this option in any country in the world.

Although I would probably chosen the city if I was single, I would have to say countryside because it is well suited for starting families in my opinion.The biggest advantage of the countryside is a laid-back lifestyle. Compare to the countryside, the city lifestyle can be too busy to raise children and crime rates are usually higher in the city as well. I had to travel to the metro area to receive violin lessons. When I got accepted to the college, I permanently moved to the Daejon Metro. I am not big on size of the house. To me what's making up the interior is more important. With that said, I would like to have luxury condo which I am used to from Korea.An apartment, house, condo or other, explain and give reasons about your choice. Aside from mentioned reasons above, I would prefer the condo due to low maintenance and clean up. I am still not that familiar with US houses and maintenance that goes on with it. Since I like the condo style, I would design it similar to European villa 2 to 3 stories high. Red brick would be preferable like the houses in Northeaster US.Korea has limited land, thus condo/apt is more common, however, in the rural area, building own homes are still popular. We haven't had a chance to build our own home yet, but this is something that I would like to do.

I prefer to live in countryside. A fresh air surrounds my family and me. There are fewer people on the streets. I do not like crowds. Also, children can always play in safety, because even fewer cars passes on the road. All family members can rest in the backyard. On weekends we can eat outdoors or arrange a barbecue with our friends and neighbors. We could even have a dog. And it will not causes a lot of problems.

I prefer to live in the countryside. There are a lot of advantages living in the countryside. First of all, there is fresh air and organic fruits and vegetables. You can grow fruits and vegetables by yourself which is very important. Second, the people are more friendly near countryside, because they know each other more than in the city. I haven't lived before by the countryside, but if I live there I want to live in a house. In the countryside there is more land and you can let yourself to build a house. In my country people building homes in the countryside and this is very common. I never build a house in my life because I prefer to live in apartments in the city...

I prefer to live in the countryside then in the city, because I like quiet and peaceful life. Disadvantages when you live in the cities are all things are expensive in the city, also there are so many bad companies that children can find. There is no nature like in the countryside. Also in the city more crime, more dangerous life. Countryside also has its own disadvantages because there are no so many people, if you like to communicate. There is not such modern technique like in the city. But there is more nature, more quiet and calm. When I came to America we live here and sometimes I do not like it because when I remember my home in Ukraine we lived in the outskirt of the city and near our house was a lot of nature. Before our house was huge meadow on which always were blooming flowers. Also in a few minutes there was little lake. I liked to walk there with my friends. I prefer to live in house because you have a lot of space that belongs to you, you can do there whatever you want. If I could build my own house I would like to have a two floors big house. It will have big backyard, I would like to have house in a quiet place. It is not very common in my country to build your own house, it is like in America only few people build their own houses. Most often, people buy house and finish it by their own plan and construction. My family bought a house and we planned to finish it by ourselves, but we moved to America.

I prefer living in the city because I have better opportunities. I was live in the countryside when I was child; I was playing outside of my parents’ house with my sisters’ brothers’ and friends. I ate fresh food, rarely used car transportation I remember I used my bicycle. But when I grow up and I needed go to the University, I moved to the city and I understand the difference when you live in the city or countryside. In the city, you have better opportunities in the social, better schools, and make great different. Also, when I need go to my town, I enjoy with my family, and I remember my past.

I think to live in the countryside is better than in the city. First, the air is cleaner in the countryside than in the city. There are absence large factories, polluting industries and less cars. Second, the city has developed infrastructure. It does very noisy. Some people can’t relax better in the city than in the countryside. I relax in the countryside better than in the city. Third, you can to grow plants for eat. Organic food is a useful for people. Also, you can have pets for fun and food. I like to eat fresh chicken eggs. I want to ride a horse. Unfortunately, I don’t know the rules of construction of houses. I like to live in the countryside because this good for health.

I prefer to live in the city. The city has many schools, colleges, shops, and places where you can have fun. In the cities there are cinemas, theaters and museums. The city has its drawbacks, for example many cars and not very clean air. I've always lived in the city, and now I live in the city. In the countryside I visited many times, there is for a good rest. I want to have a big apartment in the city. In the country where I lived before, was more common to live in apartments. I've never built a house, and I don't repair the apartment, because I don't know how to do it. I am happy that I live in the city.

If I were to pick from living in the city or countryside ill pick the countryside. Ill love to have my very own ranch, somewhere where no one is going to bother you or mess with you. Also you can throw wild parties and no one would care. Unlike the city the police will arrive shutting down any event. The only advantages the city has is the stores and socializing but other than that the countryside is better. Grocery shopping aint a problem to the country folks all they need to do is grow plants to eat and their set. If i were to pick from any house ill like to live in a condo because its a great place to party and socialize with your friends.
