Do you like living in a city or the countryside?

Write a passage about your ideas and try to use the words in 2b.

I would like to live in the countryside because it is clean and quiet. Also, there are many houses with big yards in the countryside. But cities are often very noisy. There are many factories in cities and they make the air very dirty. The cost of living is high and the traffic is very heavy in cities, so I don't like living there.
