1. INTRODUCTION
Man is, by nature, a social animal and he lives in the world which, with the passage of time, witnessed growth of human civilization and was transformed into manifold evolution. Since 'Adam' was created, we are all his pedigree and will remain until the hereafter. In this perspective, we all have read or heard the growth of humans and transformations into various cultures, religions, ethnicity and states, and augmentation of natural phenomena of the world and the materialistic things. A man is compelled to not live in solitude and needs a surrounding which including those things that can fulfill the man's solitude. No person, in this world, can live without a deprivation of human, state and natural existence.
So, the fulfillment of those existing things occur with an existence of a land occupied by the nation and is divided into 'rural' and 'urban'. Almost in all the countries of the world, there exists this division of the land, teeming with the people. The former is less developed and the latter is more, but the quality and status of a land can not be appraised by the development, rather by the feelings of real living. The life of both the lands (rural and urban) have their own way and doctrine of living. Rural life, here, can be denoted by the country life.

2. WHAT IS COUNTRY LIFE?
Country life is full of tranquility, contentment, nature and harmony. People dwell here does care about the nature, land and surrounding of the country life. People does not seem to bother about petty anxieties and trivial matters, rather they live their life here with a plain sailing. But it does not mean that they do not come across perplexities, but they do focus less.
People care much about their personal lives and give much importance to it and do not need to involve others because, owing to dominance of love and traditional values, they are capable enough to solve matter on their own. Cultural maintenance is a matter of concern here. People do care about their values and safeguard them conscientiously. They do not bear breach of their dynastic and inherent essentials. And that is, or might be, the reason that most of the world heritage sites are located in this part of the land.
Living in the country life is not a hard nut to crack, with much care about the possessions. Though country life is less acquainted of the outside world, the outside world itself yearn for living here.

2.1 Prevalence of serenity
Serenity is an important and essential part of life. It gives inward satisfaction and appeasement. In the country life, serenity always prevails and the people live their lives under the shadow of it. What resources or imperatives they possess, they feel delighted with them because they know that it is better to live with scant desires.
As they are capable to control the affairs of their life, serenity itself entangle around them. There is a dominance of happiness in the country life with a mediocre life of the people. By the presence of happiness, serenity itself surface the ground of the country life. People does never want to involve their lives into other's matter or the vice versa because doing so could cause disputation or remorse. This is the very reason why there is a prevalence of serenity in the county life.
The more we desire, the more we pursue for the things which result into anxiety or some kind of mental disorder. So, this thing does not exist in the country life because they desire less and have less ambitions.

2.2 Protection of nature
Nature is a past of the world bestowed by God. It is mostly found in those places which are rich in land and have been existing since millenniums. The nature and its various forms, water, desert, fields, and abstract or natural materials. People are pleased with their surroundings which are packed with the forms of nature, which they can utilize or extract for their own usage.
People does preserve and protect the nature and safeguard it against jeopardy. Water is the core part of live which people of the country life are blessed with immensely.
Nature is a gift of God and so that is necessary to protect it for present and future purposes. The country life is fully concerned about it and are acquainted of protecting it. It is the natural things themselves which play a part in fulfilling people's necessities.

2.3 Great esteem for harmony
Harmony is a term, lost its meaning in the present epoch world. But its meaning can be understood and esteemed by the country life. Its characteristics, egalitarianism, tolerance and conciliation is understood in the rural land.
The county life does always have great deference to harmony. They belong to such environment harmony is always found. They never try to plunge themselves into animosity and always find an alternative to it which is harmony. People does care of others and allow others to put forth harmonic efforts to put an end to any kind of hostility. Such a kind of humanity always exists in the country life. People endeavor to solve their matter not through dispute but through 'Jirga'. They are taught to control over their emotions and rage and replace it by rendering harmony. This is the very thing which makes a country life more welfare and worthy of commendation.

2.4 Provision of fresh edibles
The edible items such as fruit, vegetables, seeds and drinking items such as milk and juices are mostly found in the country life in fresh and pure form. People and markets of city life import edibles from there to enjoy their purity because there is scant availability to fresh items in big cities due to air and water pollution and deplorable garbage system. It gives advantages to both; country life in terms of affluence and city life in terms of provision of fresh edibles.
In Pakistan, most fruit and vegetables are important from Baluchistan and Sindh rural areas because their lands provide ample eatable essentials. Punjab is also rich in drinking items and fresh juices please the people of there. The markets of big cities have their shares in rural markets and remunerate by having their land production. It is also seen that people of urban years like visiting the productive places of rural lands and overhauling and taking advantage of their production. It has become a mainstream practice in the domestic and global markets.

3. WHAT IS CITY LIFE?
Where country life, despite teeming with nature, has paucity of luxurious and licentious life, the city life is jam-packed with such blessing. People here seem to have busy and eventful life. The voices of the plying vehicles, movement of the people and rapid development of the landscapes, some of the blessing are bestowed to the city life. As the world is moving swiftly towards more scientific and technological achievements, the city life is descrying to grab those achievements.
People are less concerned to give more time to their family and fellows as they, due to fast pacing life, are not able to give free time to themselves. living in the city life has its own charm and indulgence because here, life is totally peculiar from that of the country life. What benefits the country life get, the city life, on the contrary, does not share. Life in urban places is difficult to live, with much pursuit of success and attainment of motives. The people of the city life learn much about their surroundings and supervise the changing momentum of the people in the society. It is the city life which is worthy of learning and apprehending.

3.1 Employment opportunities
People, through out their lives, leave no stone unturned to have a successful future which not only confer respect or money, but also recognition. As the time glides by, they wander to be employed in the country's best public or private sectors, which guarantee handsome emolument and other privileges. The city life is always teeming with employment opportunities and calls for the best employees which can reach the standard of those public or private offices. In this regard, the city life is considered as an advantageous and the country life isn't. It lacks the employment opportunities and people are compelled to migrate in big cities to share the same employment opportunities. They desire to get good education which can secure their future but the country life is devoid of both, good education and employment opportunities.
There are numerous institutions, be it public or private, which render the basic necessities of life. People are able to be accommodated and live in good places and run their household in a better way. Good education and employment opportunities are available in abundance in the city life and it is for this reason that people of the country life comes to live here. The affairs of the state run through institutions are found, too, in city life and people learn to reach the doors of those institutions. As far as private sector is concerned, it is also abounding with well personalities and cunning people.

3.2 Established infrastructure
Parks, theaters, restaurants, conventional centers and other public gathering visiting places are mostly found in the city life with adorn structures/ Those who are accustomed to have gathering with their fellows once a week, many hang-out places here are available for them. The people of country life are deprived of such places and they are only confined to small parks and scant restaurants.
There are five-star hotels, Huge amusement parks, buffet restaurants and musical theaters which provide delight and pleasure to the people. When the people of country life come and visit these places, they get pessimist and curse on their dwelling places which are devoid of such entertainment. Foreign tourism and international conventions are always held in the city life.

3.3 Awareness of changing circumstances
A state's fourth pillar and a watching, 'Media', is one of the important sources of providing information regarding national and global affairs and making people abreast of changing social and political circumstances. This powerful entity air news pertaining to daily activities of the state and he country so that people always get updated with their surroundings.
Besides media, social networking sites and newspapers are also the sources of information. People are aware and have interest in reading and acquiring information which help them in their academic lives. They also life appraising and debating on the topics come across them. The teachers students of social sciences find the provision of news indispensable to them. In the present times, it is imperative for the people remain attached with what is going around them.
These sources are hardly found in the country life. If their is an impartment of such news. People do not bother about benefiting from it.

3.4 Facilities of transportation
Transportation is of the benediction for the city life which enjoy plying of government-controlled vehicles on the roads. The people who does not own their personal vehicles, can take advantage from this facility. In the present societies of the world, few people are seen deprived of not having their vehicles or that of the government ones. On the other hand, the country life might own the former, the latter is scant found.
If one's abode is far from the place where he goes on daily basis, he can have a facility of transportation. If it takes to reach an hour to reach any place on foot, the transport would take 15 to 20 minutes to reach the same place. This facility are found in urban areas which makes the city life more worthy of living.

3.5 Availability of other resources

Besides edible and other essentials, there are other things which fulfill the needs of the people. Such essentials include furniture, architectural materials, home-purchasing items and technological commodities are mostly found in the city life with reliable quality.
If a person is much conscious about his or her looks, a number of well-equipped markets are available with proximity . If a person is looking forawrd to build a new house, with the availability of concrete materials, it can be built within months. If a student is in need to purchase new books and stationery items, he can easily avail his need. People's daily resources can be fulfilled by the life of the city. For other consumable items, seafood is mostly found in urban places.
The city life is all about what one wants in his daily life. From academia to wholesome fundamentals, the city life gives everything.

4. DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN THE COUNTRY LIFE
Besides benefits of living in the country life, there exist some unfavourable circumstances which lead to difficulty in living there. People who dwell here faces every year great famine and drough which cause paucity of food and fresh water and compel people to shelter in other places away from there abodes.
There is also lack of literacy in the country life where people who live in far-fetched or backward areas to not get access to good education. They witness many generations passed without being educated. They remain aloof with the achievements of the world and are not acquainted with any progress of the state. They, owing to this cause, blame their fate. They are never able to scroll their names on the lists of success.
Another disadvantage in the country life is the disputation over land and other possessions. What livelihood they are bequeathed from their ancestors, they live from hand to mouth by only utilizing it. Although serenity and comfort is dominant in the country life, yet it suffers from the deficiency of such things which pave the way for better living standard.

5. DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN CITY LIFE
The city life, despite abundant developmental achievements, lacks the personal achievements, for instance deference to the family life. The people remain so busy in their lives that they do not get time for their family and fellows which cause segregation from attachments and subsequently results into realization of the feelings.
On the other hand, clubs, bars, and other licentious places ruin the fabric of the city life and plunge the people into sinful acts. The city life coaxes the people to enjoy the brilliance of big cities which results in immorality and repugnance. Many of the excuses are heard from the people that they are unable to get time for their families but in a literal sense, they waster there time being entertained with such illusory things. Consequently they fall a prey to sever anxiety and depression.
There is also a dearth of integrity, philanthropy and comfort in the city life. People face direct or indirect criticism, subdued by their foes, and try to win over petty matters for the sake of retaliation and nominal triumph. These are the very reasons which sequester the people from each other and give birth to animosity, envy and malice.
Inspite of big achievements and attainment of successful life, people now and then feel insecure and pessimist. However, they seem capable enough to draw a veil to their such flaws.

6. THE FORMER IS MORE PREFERABLE TO THE LATTER
There are evidently some downsides of living in the country life, but it is always more preferable to the city life. There are certain reasons why people adapt the living standard of the rural life. The most explicit reason is the dominance of harmony and its roots, peace, love and conciliation. People are abreast of the consequences of being harmonized and being loved. Regardless of the outcome, people in the country life always find settlement of disputes over certain petty matters.
The second reason is the access to the nature. Nature ought to be preserved and loved because it is a gift of God bestowed to the people. The city life, on the contrary, ponders and cares less of their nature and considers it less important despite being unacquainted that it is imperative to utilize the nature for people's benefits.
The city life always goes after the materialistic needs instead of the natural ones. They wander for the things which have temporary values and not perpetual. What is missing in the country life is the absence of those things which are indispensable for both, inward content and future life.
If we put forth the aforesaid things and initiate a general survey to let know which part of the land is more beneficial to be lived, few would around the world would for with the latter choice.

7.CONCLUSIONS

The development of the world indeed began with the emergence of rural land and most of the benefits also emerged from this land. Presently, too, most of the world's needs are kept in the lands of the country life. In the other hand, the city life is filled with illusory notions and not the realistic. The people get disturbed by the noisy surroundings and the cry off of others. However, the country life has happiness, delight, peacemaking and the liberty within.
Life in the rural land is easy to live, with no such kind of hatred and envy is descried. There seems a powerful deference to the existence of the things in the rural land. Contentment is also the core part of a life which is also found in the country life. Both the city life and country life were divided because the differentiation in their living standard. It is absurd to consider the living standard of the country life as low, because of the life's needs are fulfilled in this part of the land. On the whole, the country life is better than the city life. At least their people do not chase whimsical needs unlike the city life.

Good attempt but your introduction and conclusion are not logical, each sentence must back and connect the ideas of the previous sentence leading towards the purpose in crystal clear way....

Sikander Kalhoro it is a good attempt and you tried well. I mention here some limitations: first paragraph of essay do not touch the topic it is only move towards topic; disadvantages should also have sub-headings; in conclusion, you go for country life and against city life only, as you have mention advantages of city life in body, you should also mention them in first paragraph of conclusion.

It is a good effort but looking at your outline city life has attracted me more.

since you have given 4 positives for country life which do not help a human to full his/her stomach, while city life 5 positives that full the stomach and pocket.

so you can say country life is not better than city life.

If I was attempting this essay. I would say country life is not better but since we are taking the side so..

I would also insert Impact of Feudalism on country life and its influence (the positive ones), Industrial revolution and the positive impact on country life( like as long as there is industry they will require products from villages hence opportunities are there in country life etc), cost of living is less (as you told about fresh vegetable e.g your fruit when transported from country to city price increase but from village you get for cheap), easy savings.

Over all I would say one will get bore in country side after 2 months seeing the stars and fields same old routine. I conclude city life better It is short life but quality life.

I applaud your addition to the topic. As regards choice, it is up to an aspirant's perception how he considers and moulds the essay, be it for or against the topic. City life has more benefits than a country, but a Chinese political thinker has rightly said that 'better to work in city life and then retirement in the country'

It is a custom instead of a rule not to include headings. But many aspirants do so and pass the paper, so did I
