27- Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big
city.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city? Which
place would you prefer to live in?
Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
Most people live in places where they can enjoy their lives; even though some
people like living in
small rural areas, some people prefer to live in large modern
cities and while the wide range of facilities available in a large modern city can
benefit its inhabitants in
so many different ways, it certainly causes some
problems for them.
Most people prefer to live in a large modern city since there is a wide range of
facilities in a large modern city including transport facilities, social and
recreational facilities, educational facilities and
a lot more, such as medical
facilities; there are large up-to-date hospitals and schools and other community
facilities most of which are not available in a small town. Public facilities existing
in a large modern city also include disabled facilities and sports facilities which a
small town lacks.
Nevertheless one can’t ignore
the disadvantages either, consider the hustle and
bustle of a large modern city for instance, most large cities are crowded, noisy
and
at times polluted, and you can never find the peace and quiet of a small
town in a large city. There is also usually a higher crime rate in large modern
cities. Living expenses are also much higher in large
cities and this forces the
residents to work harder in order to earn a living.
In conclusion, I do prefer to live in a large modern city; of course I realize the
fact that there are some disadvantages in living in a large modern city. However,
you cannot compare the facilities available in small towns and
modern cities, the
existing facilities in a modern city are far more extensive that those in a small
town. There are enough employment opportunities in a small town and finally I
cannot extend my education in a small town since there are not enough
universities and colleges.
