Town vs Country?
In our class we have a mix of students who live in town, and those who live out in the country. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Write an opinion comment stating where you live and whether you prefer living where you are or that you would rather swap. What are your reasons for this opinion? Justify and give examples.
I live in the country on a small lifestyle block. I prefer it to living in town because it is peaceful and there is little traffic noise. I can have some animals roaming in the fields and I can go for walks on the neighbours farm. I can play loud music and not annoy anyone and I have no neighbours living just across a fence. Sometimes traveling to and from town is a pain, but not enough of one to make me want to move.

I think is a lot better than living in the town because you have a lot more stuff to do. First you have more room and in the morning you can wake up to a view of not plain house but pure nature.
ReplyDeleteI live in the country I prefer living here because I can ride my bike and make things on the farm. I always like to see the cows in the field. The disadvantages are that it is far away from town and I can't just go into town for fun or to the shops.
ReplyDeleteI live in the country with 20 acres surrounding our small life style block. I like living in the country because I really love animals and I have the opportunity to have lots of pets in the country. Our house isn’t too close to the neighbours so we can make as much noise as we like because it doesn’t affect them. Even though the cars are noisy because they are pretty close to our house I would rather live in the country than in town.
ReplyDeleteI live in the country in a pretty big place.I prefer to live in the country because its great to grow a garden and fun to play sports at my big backyard.Its really not nice when you could smell wierd smells.But its ok live in.
ReplyDeletewell i don't live in morrinsville i live in hamilton but i would live in the country not in town because you get more room in the country in town you have no room besisides i have to live in what house i have to live in.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a lot nicer living in the country as it is quiet with most of the traffic being tankers and the whole farm is your backyard with motobikes and animals and free space.
ReplyDelete1. The country is a lot quieter then in the town.
ReplyDelete2. Theres no neighbours like right next to you so you got a lot more privacy.
3. You have got a lot more room like if you wanted to put in a pool.
4. You get to go on the bus and hang out with your mates.
5. You can have lots of animals because you got heaps of room.
6. You got lots of room to ride your bike.
7. You can build huts and tree houses.
The country has loads more room , with bigger back yards . But then the town has alot more opportunities to offer you . I've lived in both town , country and city and over all the country was the best .....
ReplyDeleteI think that living in town is better because Friends and family are near by. there is lots of stuff to do and you are closer to shops if you need something. And you can make lots of new friends.
ReplyDeleteI live in town and think it’s really cool because I live really close to most of my friends witch means I get to hang out with them a lot and I never get board, its also good because if u really need something from the shop you don’t have to drive all the way into town.
ReplyDelete1. Your next door neighbours could be really noisey.
ReplyDelete2.you have alot more privacy.
3.you have alot of room for animals.
4.in town you can just walk to the dairy and waste your money on junk food.
5.you could get a noise complaint.
6.you are free to rome in the country.
7.trucks go roaring past at 4:00 am in the morning.
8.you have alot of room to go camping.
think the country side is better because I live there and you can shoot guns and ride motorbikes around and other stuff without the Nabors complaining that’s cool!!
ReplyDeleteI think that the country is better because you have more privacy, you get more space to play out door games and if you have lots of trees make huts.
ReplyDeleteI think that town would be better than the country because you can get to know more people. But in the country you can explore more. by Nick
ReplyDeleteI think that town is sort of better ‘cause your friends are in town and you can walk to the Warehouse and go hang with your mates. However, the good thing about the farm is that you can have loud parties and shoot with guns and go down the farm and shoot rabbits and possums.
ReplyDeleteI think country is better because you can explore the forests and ride motorbikes along tracks. And you can cut down trees if you own the farm, for fire wood.
ReplyDeleteI would rather be at a coed school then just a boy’s school because sometimes it’s cool to be around girls.
ReplyDeletei think town is better because u dont waste as much gas
ReplyDeleteI live in Tamahere and I've got lots of room to have animals and I think the country is better becuase you have loads more space to run around and play games and you have enough space to have as many animals as you want and i'm only five minutes from hamilton so i'm still close to all the shops. I think it's better to live in the country than in town. You can still do the same things as people do in town. Julia

ReplyDeleteI would prefer to live in the town because you can get wherever you want by walking instead of waiting for one of your parents to take you places and you don`t use you car as much and spend heaps of money on petrol.
I live in town,I think that living in town is good because of you needto get to town quickly you can walk if you want to.But,it is enoying when you don't have enough room to do or play something in the back garden.
ReplyDeletefrom charlotte room 8
I think living in the town is better than the country because you don't have to catch the bus home you just have to walk down the road. And if you need anything from the shops you can get it quicker than anyone in the country side can.

In my opinion i have know iddea witch is bet they both have there ups and downs in the country you have your privisy, there is no annoying traffic noise, you can crank up the sterio to your favourite song and not have any complaints or annoy anyone and in town it also has benifits you dont have to catch the bus every morning you could just walk or bike, and the shops are just around the corner so if your in a hurry it wont take you long to get to the supermarket or something
ReplyDeleteI live on the edge of town so i have best of both worlds.

ReplyDeleteI would rather live in the country because...
1.It's peaceful in the country and more SPACE
2.you get more space to ride your motorbike or shoot rabbits.
3.you can avoid grafitti.
4.you can have loud parties without disturbing the neighbours.
5.don't hear any traffic noise only animal noises (and smells!).
6.have big sections to play backyard cricket and touch rugby games with friends and family.
7.when I'm older I will look forward to learning how to drive on quiet country roads.
TOWN I RECKON IT IS BETTER BECAUSE YOU ARE CLOSE TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS.AND YOU DONT HAVE TO CATCH THE BUS OR DRIVE INTO THE SHOPS IF YOU NEED TO.
ReplyDeleteI think living in town is better because you can easily walk to your friends houses and your close to town so if you need something you dont have to drive into town and waste petrol.
ReplyDeleteI live in the country and I think it is better than living in town because it's quieter and has wide open spaces. You can even learn how to milk a cow. When you live in town the traffick would be annoying and there's no privacy.
ReplyDeletei live in town.You should live in the country becuase you can have pets, if your lucky youll have a motorbike to ride on the farm wich would be fun.And youll see cows and horeses and there will be lower emisions.But youll be further from shops use more petrol getting there and youd have to pay lots on food.
ReplyDeleteI would rather live in the country because you have heaps of room to ride your bike and you dont have annoying neighbours
ReplyDeleteI would rather live in the country because it is more peaceful and you don`t have your neighbours right close to you so you have more privacy and you can have adventures on the farm.
ReplyDeleteI live in town but I would like to live in the country. I want to live in the country because I would be able to do lots of loud stuff without annoying the neighbours and I would have lots of space to run around, it would even be good for a go cart.
ReplyDeleteI think it is better to livein the country because it is much quieter and more peaceful than living in town where cars keep you awake at night. Kids can have as much room to play and do stuff as they want. You can have as many pets as you want and you can rear animals like calves and lambs. To cap it all off, you can make as much noise as they like without neighbours complaining.
ReplyDeleteI live in town which I really enjoy it because we live right next door to a reserve and we can play, eel, explore and bike all day. We live just around the corner from school, close to friends and family, good neighbours and community, and close to the shops. I would also like to live out in the country because I like animals, wide open spaces, farm land and spending time outside.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the country over the town because you usually have way more space to run around and play ,way more games like hide and seek and tag.
ReplyDeleteI live in town, but I would like to live in the country because you would have a lot more privacy, you don't have any neighbours, you have lots of room and you can make as much noise as you like. But, there are some good things about living in town, and they are, you can save money on gass and you can go to town and hang out with your mates when ever you like.
ReplyDeleteI live in the country because I enjoy having privacy. You don't have your neighbour coming and complaining about your dog that goes on the lawn and digs big holes. In town young teenagers have parties on the side of the road. If you can't get to sleep and complain about the noise they will tell you to go away. That is why I like to live in the country.
