Question: Do you spend much time in the countryside? Do you like it or not? What are the benefits of living in rural areas?
- Have you ever lived in the countryside?
- What do you usually do in the countryside?
- Would you enjoy living in the countryside?
To be honest, I have not lived in the countryside, but I did spend a good deal of time in my aunt’s house, which is in the suburban area. We used to visit her during summer vacations. She owned some acres of growing rice fields, and we enjoyed getting drenched in the pond right by the farm. I miss those days! There are not many entertainment facilities in rural areas, but I think the quality of life is a lot better: the most important thing is air quality. There are far fewer vehicles in the countryside, so the environment is likely to be fresher and cleaner. Besides, the living cost is low, so people don’t have much financial pressure when staying in small towns. Of course, I enjoy living in the countryside. Actually, I think I will live there when I retire. I can enjoy the clean air and slow pace of life.
