Living in city or countryside: pros and cons in Kazakhstan

Moving to a new home can be exciting, especially if you move somewhere that is very different from where you currently live. It also can be stressful because of another environment and people must be ready for any changes. This essay will consider pros and cons of living in city and countryside in Kazakhstan.

Living in city has more advantages, which individuals will enjoy when they arrive to the city. Firstly, big events such as concerts, sport games, festivals, marathons happen in major cities. People can watch a concert or a participate in football game without the long drives from the countryside. Secondly, in city is hard not to find job. Most companies in Kazakhstan located in the city centers, like our mobile operator Kazakhtelecom, international companies like Samsung where people can find needed specialty for them. However, city has not only advantages, but also consider disadvantages. Traffic jam is one of the problem in big cities. For example, in Almaty there are a traffic jam in certain times and you will spend about an hour to go to home. Furthermore, because of the factories and car which produce dangerous gasses as a carbon monoxide affects on air pollution.

On the other hand, it is often believed that the merits of rural areas are also significant. First of all, if people live in the countryside, they can gain more health benefits, because there are lower levels of pollution, less vehicle and there will be a lot of trees around. In Kazakhstan there are a lot of rural areas, which we call aul or in other words village. Furthermore, the low-cost of living in rural areas is big benefit for individuals who want to change their place of living. Another reason is also that countryside people have more intimate relationships like neighbors, relatives. They could develop the trust between each other, support and protection. Nevertheless students from rural areas arrive to cities for better education. It means that here is very weak education level and authority should pay attention to this question.

In conclusion, either pro and cons of living in city outweighs living in countryside. Although every person can compare the facts and choose most lovely ones for them. In my opinion living in the city very interesting and excited. Here people have more opportunities to develop individually than in the countryside.
