It is common nowadays for young people from the countryside to opt for a life in a city, usually to receive a higher quality education and better work opportunities. Many people think that the government should supply quality education in the countryside and create more jobs there. I personally think we should leave things as they are and let people choose to live where they please.
Young people often feel discontented with the slow pace of countryside life and seek fulfilment in the more dynamic environment of a city where there tends to be a wider choice of university courses, job opportunities and social activities. Young people who attend university in cities often find it easier to obtain fulfilling jobs there also. Furthermore, these young students will invariably make friends at university and will enjoy a more varied and dynamic social life. A combination of these factors means many will choose to remain in the cities.
To encourage young people to return to the countryside would be challenging and would involve government intervention. Moves could be made to locate more universities and business enterprises in rural areas. Alongside this adjustment, more social facilities could be created to entice people to stay. However, people who choose to live in the countryside often value the quieter pace of life and the clean air and for this reason, I think it is wrong to try to bring the city into a countryside environment. Instead, we should allow youngsters the freedom to live their life as they please and let them choose a city life if they so desire. They can always pay regular visits to their families in the countryside and may choose countryside living again when they are older.
In conclusion, many young people from the countryside are choosing to live in a city. Attempts could be made to remedy this situation by providing more facilities in the countryside. However, I believe we should not attempt to bring city living to the countryside or try to force young people to live in a certain way. They have every right to live their lives as they please, just as young people from the city do.
