living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages. it is often easier to find work. there are always many choices of public transport. besides, there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. you can eat in good restaurants, visit museums, go to cinemas and go to parks whenever you want to relax. however, living in a city is often very expensive. you must find a well-paid job, otherwise, you will not be able to afford the things you will do. what's more, the city is always crowded, noisy and dirty. it is very difficult to find a good place where people can enjoy peace and fresh air as in the countryside.
life in the city is very different from life in the villages and on the farms. people in large cities are much more careful to respect the privacy of the individual. sometimes this feeling seems to be one of indifference, but it is a convention of city life to curb one's curiosity about the personal affairs of strangers. villagers and farmers are likely to show a great deal of interest in all their neighbors. opportunities for bright young people are greater in the cities and there has been a steady stream of hopeful jobseekers from the villages and farms to the large metropolitan areas.
depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern, we find that some people hold the idea of living in the country, while others prefer living in the city. in my opinion, i prefer the city life, though it has advantages and disadvantages.
first of all, city life is very colorful. city is the center of the surrounding area. so, it is also the most booming place having the best things. there are many great things and wonderful activities in the city, while there isn’t in the country. for example, there are kfc, wonderful shopping mall, delicious food from various places, dancing club, different kinds of activities and so on. we can also learn the culture from all the countries. despite city life is so wonderful, it still has many disadvantages. nowadays, with the improvement of people’s living standard, people have more cars and more people come to city, and then the city becomes more and more crowd. as a result, traffic jam emerges, which makes great inconvenience for people to go out. what’s worse, the air pollution becomes serious day by day, which is bad for people’s health.
to sum up, every coin has two sides. living in the city also has good side and bad aspect. whether like living in city or not depends on individual thinking. as myself, i like living in city though i know the disadvantage of living in city.
