In my opinion, life in the countryside has many good points Firstly, country folks are friendly than city folks Secondly, life is slower and simpler than in the city The food

is fresher and the air is cleaner Finally, there are lots of traditional activities that we can do

in the countryside such as horse-riding, swimming in the river or kite-flying For these reasons, I like country life.
