te your thesis
One of the first questions for new parents is: Where will I raise my child? When it comes to health and connections to culture, the countryside can offer many things to today’s children. But when it comes to education and opportunity, the countryside is not always the best choice. In today’s world, raising a child in the countryside can have both positive and negative effects.

5¶ Conclusion
A rural childhood can be a magical thing. Many countryside children enjoy an abundance of fresh air. They can also have an active, outdoorsy lifestyle. As a result, they are often healthier than big city children, who breathe polluted air in the winter and spend much of their free time playing computer games.

5¶ Conclusion
Children in the countryside have many opportunities to take part in a traditional herding lifestyle. They are not distracted by the internet or computer games, and they can spend lots of time with older relatives. For these reasons, rural children may gain a deeper understanding of traditional Mongolian culture than their urban counterparts do.

5¶ Conclusion
However, not all the effects of countryside living are good for children. Countryside children may have fewer opportunities than city children because the cities often have more resources and better-educated teachers. The city is the obvious choice for parents who value education above all else.

Summarize your main
points
Make a general, closing remark about the topic
A countryside childhood, then, has advantages and disadvantages. It can be a healthy, culturally rich experience for the child, but it can also restrict that child’s opportunities for the future. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to raising children in the city, as well. Many parents have tried to solve this problem by living in the city during the school year and sending their children to the countryside in the summer. In this way, perhaps today’s children can enjoy the best of both worlds.
