Do you live in cities or countries? Do you want to live in cities or countries? It's not a question until the COVID-19 hit the world. It has made people think about their living places. Many have said they would like to live in a bigger home, with a garden and in a smaller neighborhood. However, city lovers say they would never leave. Since then, a big argument has started.
Some say the cities are full of lives and the best places to live in. They think the city is a magical place. You can go for walks after dark with the street lights on and enjoy beautiful buildings. It's exciting to think of all the work and people, past, present (现在) and future. People may think about the long difficult time it takes to build a city and make it great. Cities are full of chances to experience different things and meet people who are not like you. People (especially the young) from all over the world are interested in cities and many different cultures live there. They share parks, offices, schools and hospitals. A recent study shows that city mice are cleverer than country mice. Even nature is more interesting in the city.
However, some people like to live in the countryside better than in the cities. Wouldn't you like to have more space, cleaner air and to know your neighbors? The answer is "Yes" for sure. With more space, cleaner air, and closer neighbors, country life can improve the health of people who live there. Country lovers say people are human beings not human doings. Country living means people can do less and enjoy more. In the country, people experience the changing seasons. The city doesn't stop when the night falls or winter sets in. During COVID-19, the city was dull and lifeless without any fun. That's why people in cities wanted to leave.
So what do you think? Will you live in the city or countryside in the future?
