City life is better they country life.

In my opinion city life is better they country life.

First, in the city the shops are around the corner, but in the country the shops are far away from your home and it would take forever to get to the shops.

In country life it would be hard to raise a baby or a kid, because you won’t have the money.  In the city you will have the money because you will go to work.

In city life there are more aquariums so you can see the things that live in the ocean.  The country has no aquarium to see the wonderful things that live in the ocean.

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