Why I want to live in a village

Before answering this question, I want to explain the word “village”. It IS the village that most people think, but what I was to emphasize is I want to live in a village which is in its original situation, not the village which has been unfortunately spoiled by the mass tourism.

Now let ‘ s talk about the reasons. I don’t want to mention the fresh air or unpolluted environment, nor the beautiful landscapes or anything like that. What I want to talk about is the lifestyle in a village.

Villagers can enjoy a more peaceful life. If you have stayed in a village for several days you would have found that, a day in village seems to be longer than one in a city.Villagers may be busy in the fields or on the boats, but they are not busy mentally, nor do they have an anxiety about busyness, as a lot of citizens do. They can sit outside their home for the whole afternoon , feeling the gentle or rough wind, breathing the air of summer or autumn , chatting with their neighbors or just silently looking around.

The atmosphere in a village is also lovely. In a village, you can know everyone else well. If you encounter somebody on the street, you may not have a chat ,but you must greet with each other. I have personally experienced the atmosphere, when I was young and lived with my granny. The first my granny does every morning is opening the main door of the house and other villagers do the same thing . And if she doesn’t need to go out this day, the door won’t be shut before she goes to bed. During the day , people can just enter your home without knocking the door to chat with you for a while , share something with you , invite you to somewhere or just greet with you.If encounter some important festivals, like the Spring Festival, people will celebrate it together. They will gather in the small center square with their own dishes and collect everyone’s dishes together to share with all the people.

These two things are the most attractive features of village life for me. I am looking forward this kind of life.Thus, I really want to live in a village, WHEN I GAT OLD!
