living in a big city英語作文(一)

　　Different people hold different views about the question whether to live in the big city or a small town. Some people prefer the harmonious atmosphere and slow rhythm in the small place. However, personally speaking, I would like to live in the big city for better education, more job opportunities, and high quality of life.

It is well accepted thatschools get no access the computer commonly in the remote area for lack of fund and relatively poor local economy, let alone advanced facilities and multimedia teaching, but all of these are available in the city. Furthermore, not merely is there better learning environment, the teaching levels in city are far outweigh that in the small town, which will ensure better instruction to students and improvement of overall qualities.

Contrary to the the situation in the small town that only in the cultural center can I find a job relative to my major, there are more choices in the city, such as magazine, news office, publishing company and so on. So abundant job opportunities there are that I can choose a most suitable onewhich can not only enrich my resume, but also functions as a valuable experience to put me in a favorable position in the future job market.

　　Finally, living in a big city is more convenient and comfortable. We can take public transportation to go to workplaces, use fitness facilities to keep healthy, buy any necessaries and commodities in a large market, get access to more TV channels or watch movies in the theater, and so on. The advancements of big city improve our living standards to a great degree, and life has been more enjoyable compared with living in the small town.

　　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.

　　I grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again.

　　Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a small town, you have to own a car to ensure a comfortable living. You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It's not free, but it's often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time. Especially if you don't have a car, you're better off in the city.

　　I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Another pan of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available. There is a wide assortment of theatre, music and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones.

　　The final thing I like about large cities is the diversity of the people. The United States is made up of people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring.

　　Of course, security is a concern, and that's one area where small towns are superior to big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautious and live in a large city than to feel secure but bored.
