The question about pros and cons of city and village life has recently become very acute. More and more people leave their city flats and move to detached houses in villages or simple small country houses. They realize that anything is better than city smoke, pollution and noise. Speaking of advantages of city life, which are left behind, we should mention the variety of cultural establishments which are very important for modern generation and their further education. I mean libraries, theaters, museums, art galleries, concert halls, large bookstores, colleges, universities and other city institutions. Many people simply can't live without going out to posh restaurants, coffee houses, pizza and sushi places. Such pastime has become increasingly popular. That's why most young people, especially students, try to stay in the city. However, when they become older and wiser, they understand that nothing can be better than fresh country air in the morning. Here I'd like to mention the main advantages of villages. First of all, it's the absence of pollution which comes from modern factories and numerous cars. Thus, the air in the country is much cleaner. Secondly, it's the absence of rush and noise. As a result, people in the village can sleep longer and healthier. The following proverb is true for them: “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Most villages are surrounded by astounding views. There are thick forests, crystal clear lakes, mountain rivers and other natural wonders. And that's another reason why people tend to spend more time in the countryside
