In the past few decades, the countryside has experienced lots of changes. Because of population growth,
more products are needed. Therefore, more factories have been constructed, and young people have more
choice of jobs apart from becoming farmers. When big cities have become more and more polluted, the
fresher atmosphere in the countryside attracts more people. Rich people who live in the city for their work
often buy a second house in the countryside to spend their weekend and holiday. As a result, the countryside
is no longer a small community of rural people. In fact, in many parts of the countryside, there are urban
people from nearby cities. Additionally, the introduction of the Internet creates more opportunities for
increasing rural people's knowledge. Many farmers have used machines for tasks that used to be done by
hand, which helps them save labour. In the near future, it is expected that the countryside will gradually
become more similar to big cities.
