同学你好~
countryside 常用来泛指一切乡村地域或居民。例如：
The countryside is the most beautiful at this time.此时农村景色最美。
I bought many pictures of the Chinese countryside.我买了许多有关中国农村的图片。

country 作“乡村”讲时，侧重指区别于城市的乡间、乡下。例如：
They are leaving the country and moving into the town.他们离开乡下搬到城里去了。
I am going to spend this summer vacation with my grandmother in the country. 我准备今天和祖母在乡下过暑假。

表示住在乡下，一般用in the country，比如
He doesn't want to live in the country when he grows up, nor does he want to live in the city.
他长大后不想住在乡下，也不想住在城里。

祝同学学习进步~
