The village has always been known to be a place of peace and quiet. The scattered houses among hundreds of plants and trees at once indicate the lack of activity in the village.
The workers in the village leave their homes early in the morning to work in the plantations or towns nearby. Some have their own plantations, and some make certain articles in their homes to sell them in the towns. A few of the villagers, including women, go out to catch fish in the streams and rivers found in the village. Though the people of the village do not usually earn much, yet they seem to be contented.
In the afternoon, most of the villagers are at home. Some of them take a nap after lunch; some work in their small gardens, and some visit the small shops in the village. In various parts of the village children may be seen playing the popular games of the village. Occasionally, a cyclist passes by.
Then, in the evening, the villagers meet one another. Some play cards and other types of games peculiar to the village. Some talk about the day's incidents in the village, and those whose minds go beyond the village discuss world events.
In almost every village there is a headman whose duty is to settle quarrels among the villagers and maintain peace in the village. Whenever there is a dispute, the villagers go to the headman who is held in such esteem that his word has the force or law. In this way the villagers have developed their own simple laws, and the crimes of cities are almost unknown to the people of the village.
During a festival, the whole village is alive with activities. Everyone is in a happy mood and plays his part to make the festival a success. This is the time for the men, women and children of the village to wear their best clothes and the village is full of colour. These simple ways of life in the village, however, must soon change. Progress in science and education has already begun to affect the outlook of the people in the village, and hundreds are leaving the village to seek their fortunes in the towns and cities.

In my opinion, life in the city as well as in the countryside has its own benefits. Personally, I prefer living in the countryside. 
In the first place, life in the the countryside is much more peaceful in the way that it gives people a chance to relax and feel at ease. 
Secondly, the air is so fresh and pure in the countryside. Besides, there are so many beautiful sceneries there such as woods, mountains, rivers, ponds and lakes... For that reason, many people choose the countryside as their refreshment site after tiring days at work. Moreover, rural people are very friendly and hospitable. You are always welcome to their place. They make a living by farming and breeding cattle and poultry. The food there is always fresh and delicious. 
Lastly, life in the conutryside is very peaceful and good for our heath.
