Advantages and disadvantages
1. Advantages and disadvantages of living in a city and in the countryside
A lot of people decide to move to the countryside nowadays. However, there are still many people
who prefer stay in the town and say that they couldn't live anywhere else. So which place is better to live?
Let's think about both of them.
I would like to start with the advantages and disadvantages of the big city life. Living in such a big city
has a lot of advantages. There is a big offer how to spend free time. There are a lot of theatres, concerts
and other ways of entertainment. There is always a lot to do and visit! There are a lot of possibilities of
shopping. In various shopping centres and galleries you can buy whatever you want. What is more, there
are a lot of working places in a city. Many big international companies have their locations in the cities, so
it is much easier to find a job in a big city. Moreover, the public transport is developed quite well, so the
commuting to work isn't a problem. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages of living in a big
city. Cities are very crowded. Everywhere there are crowds: on the pavements and in the buses. What is
more, the traffic is heavy and city's car parks are always very full. Sometimes it is very difficult to get
from a given place to another. It may take hours! Moreover, the other disadvantage is the safety in a city,
but actually the lack of safety. There is a big crime rates in cities. So you have to be very careful at nights
when you leave your home.
I think that in the country the problem of crime isn't so big. There aren't so many people and they
usually know each other well. The possibility of robbery or other crime is relatively lower. Life in the
countryside is more peaceful and the life is also slower. What is more, it is less stressful. There isn't any
time pressure and the traffic conditions are better. A lot of places you may reach on foot.
The city offers a lot: there are huge buildings, skyscrapers or some historic monuments. On the other
hand, in the countryside there are a lot of breathtaking sceneries, space and other amazing places such as
forests, lakes or mountains. Moreover, people in the countryside are quite different than people living in
the city: they are relaxed, friendly and family-oriented. People in the city are like ants. They are always in
hurry, busy and out of time. In the country people enjoy lives and take pleasure in their daily activities. As
a disadvantage of living in the countryside we may consider the commuting problems. People who stay in
the countryside often have to work in the nearest cities, so it may take a lot of time to get to it. However,
the living costs in the country are much lower, the variety of products in shops is smaller.
To sum up I would like to say that both countryside and city have some advantages and disadvantages.
Both city and country may be a good place to live. However I will stay in the city till I retire. Then I

would like to move to the country to have a rest. I think that everyone of us will take into consideration all
aspects before he decides to move to the country.
2. The advantages and disadvantages of living in the country
Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. As the advantage we
can consider the fact that the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't so heavy. You are fit and you
don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are so clean.
In the country there are many plant species. There aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or
bothersome traffic jams. In the country you are free to admire the breathtaking landscapes such as huge
meadows, peaceful hills or forests. You can enjoy walking in the forest and picking mushrooms or
hunting. Another advantage is that you may easily build a big house and the garden, because charges for
ground are much lower than in the suburbs. Moreover, living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the
city, so you probably may afford many other things, because the prices are lower. What is more, you can
invite your friends to the barbecue organized in your garden. It would be great! The other positive side is
the safety. In the rural area the crime rate is much lower. There aren't a lot of housebreaks and the
possibility of burglary is also lower. In the countryside people usually and keep eyes on neighbour's

estates. They always react when something strange is happening. Country life is very peaceful and silent.
You will enjoy the feeling of peace.
However, there are a lot of positive aspects of living in the country side, there are also some
disadvantages. Living in the country is slower. People don't need to hurry and have a lot of time. People in
the country don't have to work so many hours as they do in the city. On the other hand, they don't earn so
much money. Moreover, there aren't such interesting things to do during free time. The unemployment
rate is also much higher than in the city. The problem may be also the communication. If you don't have
your own car, you may have problem how to commute to work. The same problem concerns the access to
the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village. Last of all,
there are some dangers connected with country life such as heavy snowfall or rainfall.
To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air,
breathtaking landscapes and comfort, but a lot of people decide to stay in the city, due to the fact that the
life in the town is easier. The easy access to shops and other institutions are the great advantage.

3. The advantages and disadvantages of television
Nowadays many people all over the world spent most of their free time watching television; but since
its appearance, television has brought to man many advantages as well as disadvantages.
First, television plays an important role in our daily activities: it keeps us informed of all current
affairs in the world. Events through television are more vivid than those through books and magazines.
Second, television helps us enrich our spiritual lives. Our knowledge is broadened in many
ways.Through language teaching programs, we can learn the language we like such as: English, French,
German, Chinese, Japanese and so on. We can become skilful and clever at doing jobs, making cakes or
arranging flowers through practical courses taught on television.
Finally, television is a source of recreation. Humorous stories and funny films bring us minutes of
relaxation after a hard day’s work. For me, sitting comfortably in an arm-chair to watch an international
football match on television is more interesting than having to queue for tickets at a crowded stadium.
Apart from its advantages, however, television also brings lots of disadvantages to viewers too.
First, television viewers gradually become passive in their action. Television may be a splendid media
of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other or with the outer world. The
world seen through television is only the restricted one: It separates us from the real world.
Second, television, with its fascinating power, makes people of all ages sink into oblivion: whole
generations are growing up addicted to the telly. Pupils and students are so absorbed in television that they
neglect their school activities. Food is left uneaten, homework undone and lessons unprepared.
Housewives are so keen on watching television that they neglect their duties toward their husbands and
their children. Instead of watching television, we may use the time for a real family hour. Without the
distraction of television, we may sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another to know
and like each other better.
Finally, the evil influence of television on the young generation is inevitable; it encourages them to
commit crimes. Spectacles of sadism and violence on television lead them to robbery, theft, rape and
murder.
In a nutshell, television is useful to us when we know how to use it: Be careful not to overindulge
ourselves in it and use it in a discerning manner.

4. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Community Colleges And Universities
A degree from a university means many thing to many different people. Only you can define the
importance of a degree such as this to you and only you can determine whether or not now is the time for
you to pursue a university degree.
If you are unsure about how advantageous a university degree could be to your life let's look at some
of the advantages to a university education in relationship to a community college education.
Money. The first obvious advantage of a university education would be in future earning potential. A
four-year degree trumps a two-year degree almost every time.
There would have to be exceptional circumstances for someone with a two-year degree to earn more
over the course of a lifetime than someone with a four-year degree in the same exact field.
While a degree does not guarantee employability, it does improve the odds as well as the income
potential that is associated with the field you are entering into. If you have a two-year degree the decision
to continue your educational pursuits can be a tough one but it is well worth the effort in the end.
Housing. This is another distinct advantage that universities offer over community colleges. In fact,
many universities are now offering housing opportunities to students with families in addition to those
students who have no families.
Colleges and universities are offering all kinds of value when it comes to housing and meal plans. A
great deal of the college experience is missed when you do not live on campus. For this particular reason
students wishing to enjoy the experience that dorm life provides often consider universities over
community colleges.
Diversity. This is another key component that is often missing at the community college level.
International students find no real price breaks between universities and community colleges so they tend
to opt for the housing and cultural atmosphere that universities present rather than going with the limiting
educational, residential, and cultural experience offered by many community colleges.
You will find students of different races, religions, cultures, and nations on the university level-far
more than will typically be seen in a community college unless you are attending community college in a
very culturally diverse city such as New York.
Culture. This is something that is often lacking on the community college level, as they are largely
commuter campuses. You will not see quite the opportunity to experience art, music, the theater, and other
wonderful experiences that universities pride themselves in offering to their students.

There is nothing quite like the cultural offerings of most large universities and if you get the
opportunity I hope you will take the time to stop and experience some of the wonderful things that being
in a university community present you with an opportunity to experience.
Research opportunities. On a university level you will have the opportunity to participate in research
projects with certain professors if your prove yourself worthy and express an interest. This is something
that isn't as likely on the community college level as most professors in a community college are dedicated
to teaching rather than research. You will find that the experience of working on a large-scale research
project is unlike anything you are likely to experience again if you ever get the chance.
Confidence. There is nothing quite like a college degree from a university to help you become a more
confident person both personally and professionally. This is something that really can't be achieved on the
community college level but can only be experienced by getting a degree from a university.
If you lack confidence when dealing with others or in your career, I hope that you will find that your
university education is just the thing to help you feel more confidence on all levels of your life.
These are just a small sampling of the many benefits of attending a university over a community
college education. I hope you will carefully consider these when making your decision about which is best
for your personal education needs.

Advantages and disadvantages
But Nevertheless, like the coin has 2 sides, airplane also has some disadvantages such as ("such as" đi
trc' dấu ":" thì fải ^^) . There is always the a ( possibility chưa xác định nên dùng "a" instead of "the")
possibility a terrorist will hijack a plane and then using that is a use bomb as well. Sometimes airplane can
be cause aviation accidents and incidents . For example the incident happening on September 11, 2001
which attacked at the twin towers of the word trade center (World Trade Centrer viết hoa ) in New York
City. Or or one airplane French 447 with 216 passengers and 12 employees of airplane was missing in the
Atlantic Ocean on January 1/2009, an aircraft with 216 passengers and 12 employees of airplane(mình
For all these reasons, Despite of some of its disadvantages (bạn đưa ra 1 số disadvantages nên ko thể kết
luận "for all these reasons" và chắc chắn như "definitely") the invention of airplanes is definitely essential
useful and meaningful to the people of the world.
Good points actually nhưng làm rõ structure 2 phần hơn nhá. Also, theo mình thì nên để advantage và
dis cần bằng, add thêm some points vào disadvantage, eg: airplane uses such a lot of fuels and contributes
to global warming; airplane is complicated and takes a lot of time to check-in as well as boarding, etc. :69:
