My grandfather has lived in the old house in the countryside his whole life; he says the air in the city is not as fresh as in the countryside.

This weekend we plan to go to an orchard in the countryside to pick apples and experience rural life.

The local accent in this small town is very strong; although I don't quite understand it, I find it especially warm and familiar.
