In industrially developed countries there is a tendency for people to leave big overcrowded cities and move to the countryside where they find peace , quiet and an unpolluted environment .
So what is wrong with cities ?
Only a few decades ago they seemed to be so attractive .
A lot of people will tell you that life in big cities is really stressful.
The city centres are full of busy and noisy activity day and night and the suburbs are usually dull , overcrowded and tend to have criminal problems .
The roads in towns and cities have become unsafe especially during the rush hours when drivers and their passengers waste time in traffic jams .
Besides , not all parts of big cities look beautiful , some of them actually look quite ugly with similar high - rise crowded buildings .
On the other hand, some other parts of towns and cities may look fantastically picturesque.
There is always a lot to see and to do in towns and cities .
They offer many more job opportunities than a small place in the country .
They have a good choice of schools , universities , libraries , museums and theatres .
To sum up , i can say that both towns and the countryside have their own attractive features .
So people should be able to decide what lifestyle is closer to them.

Environmental Protection.
Economists have long thought of the environment as an unlimited source of resources.
For thousands of years people lived in harmony with the environment but with the industrial revolution our negative influence on Nature began to increase.
Large cities with thousands of steaming, polluting factories can be found nowadays all over the world.
The by - products of their activity pollute the air we breathe, the water we drink, the fields where our crops are grown.
There are many consequences of damaging the environment.
One of them is "acid rain".
Cars with their engines and factories have become the main source of air pollution in industrial areas.
When factories send gases and chemicals into the air, they mix and the mixture is carried for hundreds of miles by the wind and finally, it falls back to earth.
This "acid rain" kills fish and trees and slowly it kills everything.
The third problem is damage to wildlife.
Vast forests are cut down in Africa, South America and Asia for the needs of industries in Europe and in the USA.
As a result, some species of animals, birds, fish and plants have disappeared and keep disappearing.
Another problem is damage to water and soils.
Dumping wastes into lakes, rivers, seas and oceans causes water pollution.
Harmful wastes may also get into the soil or drain off fields that have been sprayed with pesticides.
There is another aspect of the environmental problem, the importance and urgency of which steadily grow.
How country disposes of its waste may have a major effect on its future and the future of the world, too.
Recycling waste and rubbish receives ever - greater care in Europe.
Cans, paper and empty bottles and other things we call rubbish are accumulated in every home.
Recycling process has double effect, the other part of it being - saving energy, which would have been necessary for producing new things.
In Russia and the former Soviet republics there are some areas where the environment is in a poor state.
Some of them are the Aral Sea, Lake Baikal, the Kuzbass, Semipalatinsk and Chernobyl.
Cotton growing in the region of the Aral Sea has used huge quantities of water, and the level of the sea has fallen by 14 yards.
For decades nuclear weapons were tested near Semipalatinsk, and the ground is contaminated with radiation there.
More than twenty years ago a pulp - and - paper factory was built on the shore of Lake Baikal.
As a result of the pollution, more than 50 per cent of the world's purest water has been ruined.
The whole ecological system of the lake has changed greatly.
After the disaster in Chernobyl the inhabitants of the nearby towns and villages had to be evacuated.
Some of them died and some became invalids.
Problems of environment are no longer problems of one particular country or one particular region of a country.
One of the most serious environmental problems in large cities in Britain is thick fog, which the British so often have in autumn and in winter.
In London the fog is sometimes so thick that cars run into one another.
For many centuries, during the cold time of the year, the English people used coal in their fireplaces in private houses, though smoke from factories contributed a great deal to the trouble too.
This kind of fog the English people used to call smog.
Unusually thick smog in London in 1962 caused the death of some 4000 people.
A Clean Air Act was passed in 1956, which prohibited the use of open coal fires at homes and in the city area.
Today, many scientists and ordinary people realize that the Earth is in a danger.
Either we stop killing the Earth or we kill ourselves.
The protection of the environment is a universal concern.
Active measures should be taken to create an international system of ecological security.
Some progress has been made in this direction.
Many people belong to Green organizations in countries all over the world.
Groups like "Green Peace" have already helped to stop some animals hunting but there are so many things to be done on our planet and our life on the Earth depends only on ourselves.

В промышленно развитых странах существует тенденция к тому, что люди покидают большие переполненные города и переезжают в деревню, где они находят мир, тишину и незагрязненную окружающую среду.
Так что же случилось с городами?
Всего несколько десятилетий назад они казались такими привлекательными.
Многие расскажут вам, что жизнь в больших городах действительно напряженная.
Центры города полны напряженной и шумной активности днем и ночью, и пригороды обычно скучны, переполнены и имеют критические проблемы.
Дороги в городах стали небезопасными, особенно в часы пик, когда водители и их пассажиры тратят время на пробки.
Кроме того, не все части больших городов выглядят красиво, некоторые из них на самом деле выглядят довольно уродливо с похожими многоэтажными многолюдными зданиями.
С другой стороны, некоторые другие части городов могут выглядеть фантастически живописными.
В городах всегда есть что посмотреть и что делать.
Они предлагают гораздо больше возможностей для работы, чем небольшое место в стране.
У них есть хороший выбор школ, университетов, библиотек, музеев и театров.
Подводя итог, могу сказать, что и города, и сельская местность имеют свои привлекательные черты.
Поэтому люди должны иметь возможность решить, какой образ жизни ближе к ним.
