Normal

Cities, towns, and countryside areas are different places where people live. Cities are busy with lots of buildings, stores, and people. Suburbs are areas just outside of cities, where there are houses and parks, but not as many tall buildings. Rural areas are far away from cities and suburbs, with open fields and farms. For example, in a city, you might see tall skyscrapers, while in a rural area, you might see cows grazing in a field.
