Sample 1
I visited my in-law house near a village in Dehradun. Being a hilly terrain, this area is very cold, especially during the winter season. This village name is Malsi, and it is surrounded by a forest belt, which makes this place special.
The morning starts with the chirping sound of birds, which is very melodious. The air is pure and has no pollution, which is rare in city areas. I used to spend most of the time viewing surrounding nature. I used to go to the terrace in the morning to see the sunrise. There is a natural stream of water near to the house, and we utilize the same for our water needs. The water is so pure that it can beat any RO system. The wildlife can be easily spotted in that area; hence this is a good place for people who love to capture these moments.
As the area is surrounded by a forest belt, there is always a risk of wild animals; hence it is always recommended to not go outside in the dark. Also, the road to this place is a bit patchy, and some people may not find this comfortable. There is also a small patch where vehicles are not allowed, and we need to walk to reach our destination.
As this place is full of natural beauty, which I like the most, I feel very relaxed here. Whenever I reach this place, I use to keep my mobile silent so that I can enjoy the calmness of surrounding nature.
Sample 2
Actually, I am living in a city because my father and I are working right now. But, my father is from a village and belongs to a farmer family. The village is only 50 km away from the city where we are presently living. So, at least once a month we try to visit the village and my grandparents. So, I think almost two years back, and I have visited one wonderful place that is my uncle’s orange farms, where I enjoyed and learned some procedures of growing vegetables and fruits. The place was almost very far away from my grandparent’s house, so it took one hour to reach the orange farms.
After going there, I felt very pleasant and refreshed because there are more trees and different types of plants also. Beside farms there is a large place where 100 cows and buffaloes shed is there and immediately I ran to see the things which are quite astonished me because my uncle is using latest technology and techniques of feeding the cows with grass and taking the milk and packing them in a packet.
He explained to me each and every equipment usage of the farm. I observed all the things and even noted down some procedures because one of my cousins is going to pursue agricultural engineering, so I want to explain it to him, which can be beneficial to him in future. After that, I plucked some oranges from the farms and ate them too. The best part of the farm is he is growing those oranges organically and limiting the use of pesticides and fertilizers.
So I felt the difference in the taste of oranges when compared to the oranges available in the city, which are grown chemically. The farm oranges tasted very sweeter. Even now, I try to visit his farms because I will forget all my sorrows and feel much happier because I am a nature lover.
Follow-ups of Describe a Place in a Village That You Visited
Question 1:- Do young people enjoy living in the countryside?
Answer 1:- No. Young people prioritize their careers, and there is very little opportunity in the countryside. Hence young people prefer to settle down in city area so that they can find a job and easily commute to their office.
Answer 2:- As per my observation, I feel that everyone wants a luxurious and robotic life where more facilities are available. So, youngsters always prefer to live in a city rather than the countryside. For example, one of my cousins is from the village; even though it is his hometown, he never expresses his gratitude and always talks about the cons of the village. In fact, recently, he moved out of the village and pursued his education in the village. Thus, almost 80 % prefer to stay away from the countryside.
Question 2:- What can be done to improve life in rural areas?
Answer 1:- Life in a rural area is a bit hard. It requires a lot of hard work. Life can be improved by giving them facilities which are available in cities. For example, more small factories can be opened in that area so that young people can get a job there. Basic facilities such as Electricity and water shall be made available. All basic necessity items shall be available in local shops so that people need not travel to distant places to purchase those items. More Importantly, is connectivity. Road infrastructure shall be improved along with telecommunication networks.
Answer 2:- There are a lot of ways to develop facilities in rural areas, such as constructing educational institutions improving transportation facilities, and providing the land for the business people to start the venture. For example. Employees who want to work in the information industry are migrating to metropolitan cities. So, instead of that, if government officials are approving land and some other things for the entrepreneurs, then there will be more opportunities created and thus more people to work in their village only.
Question 3:- Does the government pay more attention to rural areas or urban areas?
Answer 1:- I believe that Government pays more attention to urban areas. Since urban areas are the mirror of the country and most tourist visits urban areas only, Hence to give a good image of the country, Government concentrates more on urban area development. Also, media tends to cover problems in urban areas more important than rural areas, which is also a deciding factor for government focus.
Answer 2:- I felt that the government is paying more attention to urban areas because of some profits. They are investing more in urban areas to develop some infrastructural facilities and approving lands for the construction of gated communities. The officials feel that already developed cities can get few benefits because more populations are living in the urban areas.
Question 4:- What are the importance of travelling?
Answer 1:- Travelling evolves you as a human being. During Travelling we meet many people and interact with them, this gives us experience and knowledge. It improves our communication skills. We are travelling introduce ourselves to many cultures which teaches us so many things.
Answer 2:- For some people travelling is an entertainment purpose to relax after some working hours and for some people to know the traditions and customs of the particular city. For example, employees who get opportunities to work in another place have fit into the place and have to sit with the city inhabitants. So by travelling everyone can experience something which they can apply and beneficial in future. Mostly flexibility can be increased by travelling.
Question 5:- What places do you want to visit in future?
Answer 1:- I want to visit Uttarakhand state in my home country. This state is mostly covered by mountains and is very beautiful. Nature is at its best here and abundant. That is the thing I like most about this state. There are a number of waterfalls one can easily spot while on the way to Uttarakhand. The landscapes are really beautiful and magnificent.
Answer 2:- I have a large list of places to visit in the future, but that is not possible because of limited time and budget problems. So the first place on my list is Paris. I listened to it. It is the place for the couple to visit and moreover I want to life experience to see the Eiffel tower. Secondly, I like to visit Switzer, which is the coolest place and many sightseeing places are also available. Usually, I like cold temperatures because it gives me so much pleasure being in that cold weather, and also I am a chocolate lover so listed swiss chocolates are delicious, which are mostly homemade and so I want to taste it. Mostly I prefer going to these types of places.
Question 6:- What type of places do you recommend people to visit on vacation?
Answer 1:- This depends on person to person choice. However, if I were asked to give my opinion, then I would recommend people to visit the hilly area. Hilly areas will give you a chance to relax in the lap of nature, which will rejuvenate you. This relaxation is really required after spending a long time in busy city life.
Answer 2:- I recommend the place for the people based on their age groups like for youngster who is fond of hiking and bike riding. I suggest them to go for the Ladakh region and people like who enjoys the weather will recommend going to Switzerland and Paris, and for my grandparents, I prefer them to go to historical significance and devotional places like Varanasi and Kashi.
Question 7:- Do old people prefer to live in the countryside or in the city?
Answer 1:- Old people prefer to live in the city because of their medical needs. Since rural areas generally do not have good medical facilities, Hence it is difficult for old people to live there and fulfil their requirements. Also, life in rural areas demands more physical labour, which is also a disadvantage for old people.
Answer 2:- Old people mostly prefer to live in the country to have a peaceful life after their retirement. So many people want their life in a conventional way by consuming organic food by farming in their own lands and wants to live away from noise-free and pollution-free places and moreover they need stress free life where they can have more time to do their own things.
Question 8:- Why do many people move from small towns to big cities?
Answer 1:- More people nowadays are moving from rural areas to cities. The main reason behind this is unemployment. Rural areas are not able to provide employment to all people, and these areas do not have any industrial sector. In addition, City life is way more comfortable than rural areas, which people want. Farming is a major profession in rural areas, which requires a lot of hard work. Also, income from farming is not enough to meet all expenses of the family. Hence most of the young people nowadays moving to cities in search of a job and comfortable life.
Answer 2:- Almost all families are moving out of rural areas to give good quality of education to their children by joining them international schools because in the countryside there are fewer facilities available in the educational sector and also there are fewer job opportunities which pay high salaries in the rural areas, so they are migrating to other cities to afford the basic living needs and thereafter opting for the luxurious life. Once they are accustomed to it, they don’t want to switch it back.
Question 9:- What’s the difference between living in the countryside and living in the city?
Answer 1:- Living in the countryside is more demanding. This requires a lot of physical work to meet your daily needs. It is difficult to find the labour in the countryside. Hence most of the work has to be done by ourselves. However, life is slow in the countryside, and people can spend time with family and relax. However, City life comparatively requires less physical work and is more comfortable. All type of public transport is available to commute at a higher frequency, which is not the case in rural areas. Most of the time people spends in traffic or commuting between office and home. Work-life balance is a challenge in city life, which is not the case in rural areas.
Answer 2:- There are pros and cons on both sides, but I feel more merit lies in cities because of facilities. The main differences are less power cut and less water-scarce in the city whereas countryside people are continuously facing these issues. Another difference is quality and quantity are seen in many numbers in every aspect of the city. At the end of the everyone needs some entertainment to feel happy so this entertainment can be found in parks theatres and some places to visit are seen in many numbers in the city.
Question 10:- How has life changed in the countryside in your country?
Answer 1:- Life has not changed much in the countryside of my country. The major change that happened is about telecommunication technology, which has reached every household in the countryside. Earlier, this was mainly limited to cities. Other technological advancement includes the utilization of solar power and tractors. However, people lifestyles and infrastructure are still the same. Connecting roads are not in good condition, and the medical facility is also in a poor state as earlier.
Answer 2:- Recently, I have seen significant changes in the countryside like improvements in education facilities and constructing multiplexes and fewer power cuts. Basically, my father is from a village background, so when compared to last ten years recently I have seen some improvements wherein summers only 1 or 2 hours power cut is there, and water supply is increased, and at least high schools are seen at least 2 or 3 in a village where students can happily stay there with parents and get an education without migrating to the city.
