11.3 Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
People seldom agree with each other even with such trivial issues as preference between a small town and a big city. Some people prefer a small town to a big country for the reason that it is less stressful, while others states that the life in big cities is more exciting. As far as I am concerned, as a university student in a big city, I prefer to live in big cities because the life is much more convenient and I could have more opportunities.
Cities give us a lot of convenience in our lives. When it comes to the lives in big cities, a lot of gorgeous things will come to our mind, such as the luxurious cars and amazing buildings. Indeed, the life in big cities, such as Shanghai, Guangzhou in China, is much convenient. For one thing, the development of modern technology can be expressed best in big cities. Take the subway system for example, the advanced subway shorten the time for us to go to work and visit to other place greatly. We could save a lot of precious time. For another, living in a big city usually has a superior living standard to that in a small town. There are more commodities and service in city markets; there are more public utilities available in big cities; there are even much more television channels in big cities. Thus, the living in big cities is more comfortable.
We may achieve more improvement in big cities, no matter for receiving education or job hunting. First, the big cities have collected the most excellent educational resource, such as famous universities, first-class professors or teachers. The big cities are the best place for us to receive education and acquire knowledge. Second, compared to the small towns, the big cities are like to inspire the learning. As the development of science and technology, information and knowledge exchange is increasingly important to us. With the connecting of computer and internet, people have more accesses to search for the needy information and exchange their ideas with others. At last, we may have more job opportunities or career advancement in big cities. Most of the big cities are the economic and cultural centers of a nation, which could provide fruitful positions to people. Therefore, the big cities are suitable for us to receive education or hunt jobs.
Life in big cities could be exciting and amazing. However, it is not necessarily that the life in small town is awful. Actually, people who live in small town may feel less stressed and have more leisure time. Also, the competition in small town is less fierce. To conclude, as a young man, I prefer to live in a big city because of its convenience and more chance for improvement. Also, I may choose to live in a small town after I get tired. |
