Living In A City ...to live. Everybody can choose the place, where he would like to live. Some people prefer living in the city and other prefer living in the village, but what is really the best for us? First of all we should define our terms of reference.`Village` means a group of houses with a church, school and some shops in the countryside and `city means a place, where people live and work and it contains many houses, shops, places of entertaiment, etc. Living in the city brings to everybody a lot of advantages. In city you have a lot of sport, cultural and education opportunities. Young people get more education and knowledge in town than in the country and also when they want to get a job, they will easier find it in a city. Very often young people from the countryside move to the city just because they cannot find a job in their birth place. Very big problem is also that in countryside are no hospitals and if people are sick, they have always to travel to a town. In city you can find more opportunities for everything because it is bigger and has more inhabitants than a village. It has also shopping centers, swimming pools, tennis courts, cinemas, night clubs, pubs, restaurants and a lot of other places, where we can have fun. However living in the city has also its bad sides. In town are pollution, traffic jams and noise. There is so many buildings that there is no trees, flowers and fresh air. Many citiziens go on a countryside for a weekend just because they want fresh air, peace and quiet. The next disadvantage are prices. In city is everything more expensive than in a village and there is not home-grown food but mostly junk food. The most serious problem of a town is a high level of criminality. Of course, you can also find criminality in a village but there is not so much pickpockets, thieves, murderers and drug...

In the country, we can live in the midst of nature. Countryside houses are spread out and there is plenty of greenery. Sometimes green paddy fields or orchards are found in the neighborhood. The beautiful surroundings with trees and shrubs are pleasing to our eyes. Moreover the air is fresh and cool, which is good for a healthy living. A country life is full of charms. The rippling rivers, the grazing cows and the chirping birds give us great pleasures in life. Country life is cheaper than town life. The people who live in the country are a contented community because they have few desires.

Houses in the city are generally provided with modern conveniences such as electricity, running water, telephones and all sorts of labour-saving devices. There are plenty of means of communication: buses, taxi-cabs, etc. City dwellers have more means of improving their minds than countrymen: day schools and night courses, public and private libraries, lectures and exhibitions. There are many places in the city where you can get a bite or a drink: restaurants, coffeehouses, tea-rooms, bars and refreshment rooms, etc. Last but not least, the city provides its inhabitants with various sorts of entertainments, playgrounds and sports fields, public gardens, museums, movie-theaters, concerts For my part, no matter how comfortable or convenient the city life may be, I till prefer living in the country. I think it is healthier and more peaceful to live in countryside than in a city. Link to the Some people enjoy living in the country but others prefer big city life source:

There are many different ideas about living in a big city and in a small town. So, which is best? Actually, both of them are good. This essay will look about bad things and good things when we live in a big city or in a small town. Some people always think that living in a big city is very good. A big city often has high development, so life is very modern. People feel comfortable when they live on convenient life. Progress of transport, equipments for life and communication that help people get less time and they have much time to solve other job. Children will have more opportunities to study. And, if you are well-educated and have professional ability, you will have more occasions to get job in the foreign company with high salary. Besides, there are various peoples and culture, so people have to become sociable to join that community. However, a big city is also place that focuses many bad problems of society. Air pollution is a big problem. It is one of the reasons to make people get ill easily nowadays. A big city always has a large number of citizens, so security is very harmful. Furthermore, to get good life in a big city, people must have high income because fees are very expensive. Conflicting with above ideas, other people like living in a small town. People like quiet life that a big city cant offer them. Air is fresh. It is very good for health. Speed of life is rather quiet and slowly. So, young people who love exciting will feel boring easily. Besides, people will live near with nature more. Sightseeing is very beautiful that may help people relax after finishing their work. People can have good life in a small town with average income, because fees are not expensive. However, a small town has less chance to develop. Their basic job is often farmer so their income is rather short. Life is less convenient, so they spend much time to solve homework. Transport and communication dont develop as well as a big city.

disadvantages of cities over villages Most people today, would consider living in a busy and popular city than in an countryside, where they believed things where not lively and trendy as such, so they se living in the village as a big crime. On the contrary, some people would prefer living in a very remote village (with at least basic amenities and facilities) than living in a big city like Los Angeles or Tokyo. Now, the big question is why do people prefer to live in villages than living in the big cities? Please dont rush it, before I answer this question, I will first take a general overview of some of the problems and daily hassles encountered in the cities today, and then, compare them with those witnessed in the villages (or more better, countryside). Firstly, what is a city? A city may be defined as a large and important town, where many human activities take place, thereby attracting the interest of many people from different towns, regions and country, which contributes to its large population. While a village or countryside is a place smaller than a town, having two three places of worship, shops, buildings (sparsely located) and some other basic amenities for human survival. From the above definitions of a city and a village, we can understand clearly that a city is very bigger than a village. A city has several things that makes it lively, among which are casinos, clubs, brothels, hotels, stadiums, recreation and shopping centers, gyms, fashion centers, cinemas, industries, big hospitals and many others. All these contribute to the liveliness of a city, making people become so fond of it, but yet, there lies some bad sides of living in it. Experts in parenting and child upbringing, have said that children raised in the villages, are more balanced and sometimes more responsible than those brought up in cities. They also said that children raised in cities are more violent than their counterparts in the village. Little wonder why some parents prefer to send their children down to live with their grandparents or at least visit them every time during vacations. I also agree with these experts, because children brought up in cities are familiar with many city lives and corruption, they se and witness a lot of these activities, and they are more likely to exhibit when they become adults. Sometimes, a child who is living in a city might be coming back from school, and he or she will see some teenagers or adults, kissing and necking on the road or street. Though he or she might be too small to practice

this, but his brains would record it and may be in the later years, recalls it for him to make use of. Again, children brought up in villages are more familiar to animals, birds, trees and flowers, which are their nearest companions. They saw lesser crimes and corruption, they are not exposed to seeing adults using hard drugs frequently or witnessing armed robbery incidents and rapes. Coming on the other side of sexual corruption, they has lesser access to pornography films, magazines and posters, unlike their counterparts in the cities, that have all these at their door steps. Let us now examine some of the danger of living in a village and that of cities. Disadvantages of living in a village. Living in a village is a very challenging thing though. If you are living in a village, you will be faced with many challenges to survive, ranging from food, water and drug availability, safety from some animals and the likes. In a village, good schools are always in a lack, and if they exist, they always far from home. Above that, their learning conditions are also poor when compared to those in the cities. Some parents in the village complain that their children are not taught well, while others complain of inconsistency of the teachers. All these are challenges in the village. Also in a village, some dangerous animals habit there, because of the huge number of natural vegetation and forest that surrounds the villages. These animals can be harmful at times, like reptiles, wild pigs, leopards, bush rats, wild cats and the rest of them. But one can avoid them through proper housing and cleanliness, because most of them hate clean environments. Obtaining clean water, good food, reliable drugs and other human needs, seem to be difficult in the village. And in some villages too, communication is very difficult, since most have no telephone or GSM networks around. But all these are better enhanced as each day rolls by. There other challenges of living in a village, which includes the collection and receipt of parcels, gifts and mail messages from family, friends, relations and even colleagues, though most villages now have local postal service to render these services. But what happens to situations, whereby the messenger or business client refuses to send messages through a P.O Box address like in the case of Google Adsense program, which allows only street address for registration? This has served as a big limitation to so many clients who would love to join the Google Adsense program? Above all, we also know that most social welfare benefits and services do not always reach the hands of village dwellers, such as educational scholarship aids, health and welfare schemes, bank loans and subsidies etc. but all these can better be managed by someone who really care to maneuver them. Yes, village is full of challenges, but it can never be measure with those deadlier ones we see today in cities. Let us now look at the limitations and disadvantages of living in the cities. Disadvantages of living in the city. Living in a city has to do with courage and daily struggles, for you to remain there. The rents are high, hospital bills are high, feeding is also high, refuse disposal is difficult and highly charged, risks is also at the top. One living in a city cannot tell exactly when death will strike, robbers can attack at any moment without prior notice, assassin can invade wrongly on a wrong identity, flying bullets from fighting gangs or police chasing

a mob, can hit you at any time. All these are high risks faced in a city. Maintaining good relationship with street neighbors is also a great challenge, which can result to quarrels or exchange of words. Should we talk about the kids, who learn a lot of bad habits and behaviors from other city people you may not know about. Bullying of children is also high in cities, posing ones children to greater risks of falling ill with fever and bruises. Now let us consider the hassle with transportation, heavy hold ups and traffic on the roads, daily accidents, even when you are driving well, what about the other person who might be drunk in a party or occasion. Suicide attacks and gunmen shooting in public places like schools, airports, shopping centers and even at religious places, pose ones life to a greater danger. Recent researches has also proved that city dwellers are more prone to illness and diseases due to overpopulation, and they also suffer more depression and stress related sicknesses, due to city stress and work overload, which has led to many committing suicide in their homes and offices. If you are living in a city, you are exposed to a greater rate of: stress, depression, robbery attack, assassination, unknown deaths (for example, due to unknown shooting from a gunman), suicide attacks, terrorism attacks, fire accidents and many others. In the overview, the disadvantages of living in a city cannot in any way be compared to that of living in a village, because city own tampers more on personal life and security, which makes it more dangerous. Therefore, dont condemn people living in the village, as every one has a reason for doing whatever he or she is doing, and to my own understanding, it is more better to live in a civilized village than to live in a very big city. My reasons comes in various ways, one, I love trees and green plants, I love nature and its gifts, they make me happy and lively, so I love to live wherever I will be closer to these things, because they make my life whole. What about you, where do you prefer to live if every other thing is put aside, or where will you love to spend your next vacation? Let us hear, and know your reasons, it might be a good source of information for other online users. Thank you. TOEFL ESSAY- DETHI.COM 21) It is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to develop your essay. (a) I was born in a small, quiet and peaceful village. Like other children in the village, I hope that one day I will live in a big city. Because I think that it is better for children to grow up in a big city than in the countryside. There are many advantages when living in a big city. Firstly, the infrastructure in big city is much better than in the countryside, so the life there is more convenient. There are many highways and long, big bridges, which make transportation easier. With so may transport means such as taxi, family car, bus, cycle... it is very easy for you to go anywhere at any time. Along busy streets are tall, beautiful buildings. They are hotels, restaurants, embassies, hospitals, schools, private village big

schools, big hospitals equipped with modern facilities make the study and treating disease more effective. Living in big cities, children have good opportunities to learn in good schools and examine in good hospitals. In entertainment centre, there are many games to develop children' body including physical games and intellectual ones. Children can play there after hard periods in class. In big cities, telecommunications are also completed. Children can access with new technology easily. It's wonderful to live in big city. That's reason why I wanted to stay in my uncle's house in Hanoi, capital of Vietnam, when I visited her at the children' age. Secondly, big cities are not only economic centers but also social, cultural ones of a country. People here are active, polite, and intelligent... They are always busy with their work. It's good for children to get acquainted with people like them. Children can learn more from life in big cities than in the countryside. The life is hard and difficult, so it's good to adapt to it when you are children. The life in city helps children to have beautiful dream and have chance to make these dream come true. Although there are also disadvantages in big cities such as social evils, environmental pollution, and noise... living in big cities is still dream of many people. It is better for children to grow up in big cities and have weekends in the countryside enjoying fresh air than live in the countryside and rarely come to city. In brief, children can develop comprehensively when living in big city. (B) There is no doubt that a selection of the suitable place in which children can grow up represents an important aim towards parents nowadays. Many people debate whether children may grow up in the countryside or in a big city. Some people argue that children have to grow up in the villages for many different reasons. Others believe that children may grow up in a big city for many aspects. However before one decides to support or oppose one of the above two opinion, he/she should carefully consider the all aspects and reasons concern that subject. Children have to grow up in the countryside for many different reasons. First, the countryside contains vast green areas of fields. These fields take part in purification the air from any pollution; consequently, children can breathe fresh and healthy air. Second, Parents may not worry about their children when they are playing in the farms and fields. This is because; there is no any dangerous thing, such as cars, trains or uncovered electric wires that may hurt children in these fields. Third, living in the countryside may stimulate the hide talents of children. For example, children may like to draw or paint what they see; therefore the viewing of green land may make children how to express themselves by drawing and painting. On the other hand, children may grow up in a big city for many aspects. First, parents may want their children to grow in the urban city to let them live in feel the prosperity and advancement of their country second by second from the beginning of their life. Second, living in the big city may make the growing of children so easy. For example, in the big city parents can find a suitable baby care center for their children easily. They can

also find modern schools in which their children can go. Third, parents can find excellent hospitals in which their children can go if they get sick. Even though growing it is better for children to grow up in the countryside or village for many different reasons, children may grow up in the big city for other aspects. In my own opinion, I believe that it is better for children to grow up in the big city for the following reasons. First, in the big city a mother can find easily a reliable person who loves her kids during her work outside the home. Second, living in the urban city may help children in growing in a social atmosphere. For example, in the big city there are a lot of children who can play together. In conclusion, growing of children in the big city is better than the countryside. At last, can you imagine the population density in the big city if all parents suddenly decide to leave the city and go to the countryside to let their children grow up there? Of course, I know your answer!!! (c) Some people prefer living in a big city; others enjoy residing in a small town or in the countryside. Children usually do not have a choice and live where their parents choose to live. Both living in a big city and living in the countryside have some advantages and disadvantages for childrens development. In my opinion, living in a big city is more beneficial for children because it offers more choices in education, services and fun activities. Most of us agree that education is crucial for our children. Often, when a family resides in the countryside, there is only one neighborhood school in the area. On the contrary, there are plenty of educational choices in a big city: French schools, private schools, Montessori centers, and, of cause public school. Another reason for me to believe that living in a big city is better for children is a higher level of availability of different services. From my personal experience of living in a small town in northern Ontario I can say that it was a problem to find a dentist or family physician in the area, so we had to travel up to fifty kilometers in order to get help. Last, but not least is that living in a big city offers a variety of extracurricular activities: sports, arts, hobby clubs, dance schools, gyms, and many more. I strongly believe that those activities are very important for childrens development. In conclusion, no doubts that living in the countryside have some advantages; however, in my opinion, growing children are much more benefited living in a big city. They have more opportunities to get good education, to receive services they need, and to have quality fun time.
