Read the text and decide if the statements below are true, false or not stated. Everyone has different preferences when it comes to where they live, some favour the bright lights and the city bustle, while others would rather listen to the birds singing instead of the din of traffic. Rural Living When living the rural lifestyle, peace and fresh air are just a few of the things to expect. Also, you are guaranteed to have more space than you would when living in the city. Space is one of the most appealing aspects about living in the country. Furthermore, there is a lot less traffic and congestion than in the city. Another characteristic of living and working outside of the city is a shorter, more bearable commute. It is the fact that those who do not have a long commute have better stress levels and wellbeing than those who do. There always seems to be a strong neighbourhood atmosphere in rural areas, which are known and loved for their community spirit. City Living However, living in the country is not everyone’s cup of tea because living in the city means that the world is on your doorstep. Caribbean, Lebanese and Vietnamese food can be delivered to the comfort of your home in minutes, not to mention the number of museums, theatres, galleries and comedy clubs there are spread across the city. The sheer diversity of city life is one of its most appealing aspects. A lot of young and ambitious people have every intention to stay and live in the city because it is home of successful businesses in various industries, from fitness to finance and technology. Another reason that living in the city is so appealing to some people is that children can receive the best education possible. Even though living in the city has its perks, the rate at which housing costs are rising seems to be outweighing the benefits of the cosmopolitan lifestyle for some and encouraging them to experience the simple life in the country. 1. Country living provides more personal space compared to city living. 2. City dwellers generally have shorter and less stressful commutes compared to those living in rural areas. 3. Not everyone likes living in the country. 4. Wide varieties of international foods can be promptly delivered in rural areas. 5. It is quite easy to build a career if you live in the city. 6. Living in the city guarantees the best education for children. 7. The rising housing costs in the city are making the cosmopolitan lifestyle less appealing for some people.
