1月4日 101009NA Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People can take care of their family members better when they livein big cities than in the countryside.
Where is the best place to take careour family, the countryside or the big city? The answer to this question differsfrom individual to individual. Some may choose the big city, while others likethe natural and quiet surroundings in the countryside. As far as I concerned, Iwould live to take care our family in a big city because living in a big cityhas more advantages than living in the countryside. To begin with, the city is thesymbol of human civilization and there are a variety of facilities for living,recreation and health care. Therefore, living there is more convenient thanlive in the countryside. For example, we can find a plenty of malls around ourneighborhood, where we can buy everyday necessities at a low price.Furthermore, people concern more about their health and safety than otherthings in their lives. In big cities, medical facilities and emergency serviceare easily accessible than in the countryside. Big cities also have convenienttransportation and utility systems. They also offer faster Internetconnections. These all make people easier to take care their family in big city. In addition, big city is an idealplace for children to grow up. For one thing, living in the city can broadenchildren's horizons. They can meet a lot of people and hear a lot of thingsthat will never happen in the country. For another, children can develop manyhobbies in the city. They can learn to play the piano, painting, and dancing,to name a few, which are impossible in the country. Last but not least, a citymeans more chance to receive better education. In most countries, it is nodoubt that the level of education in the city is higher than that of thecountry. As a result, children can meet better teachers and receive highquality of education in the city.
On the other hand, we cannot denythat the pollution in cities makes people sick. However, with automobiles andmodern highways we can easily take a break to expose to fresh air in thecountryside and sunshine on the beach.
To sum up, I believe that it is better for people to takecare of their family in the city not only because of the advanced facilitiesand social activities in cities, but also because their children can receivebetter education and have a chance to develop many hobbies there. |
