Country life is better than City life

I strongly believe that country life is better than city life

If you live in the country you get more fresh air because there are no cars to pollute the air.There are no factories to make our plants and vegetables go rotten because the gas that is made by factories is toxic to the air and our plants need air, so factories are actually killing our plants.

You get more fitness when you live in the country because  you have to walk everywhere you go. Most people that live in the country don’t have cars but if they do have cars they often don’t work so they have to walk everywhere.

Another reason is that you get to explore the hills and forests and you can look for wildlife like rabbits and deer.  If you have a river near your house you can go swimming in summer instead of paying money to go to swimming centres.

Therefore I believe that country life is better than city life.
