Which place would you prefer to live in, big cities or small towns? “Living in a small town is better than living in a big city or not” raises a great controversy in the society. Some people believes that living in a small town is better because there is not as much pollution as it is in a big city. This sounds theoretically right. However, these people usually neglect the negative parts of living in a big city, which I will try to occur in the following aspects. Firstly, it is vonvenient to travel around if you live in a big city. Big cities always have a completed and excellent transportation system. In China,big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, there are a large number of vehicles like subways, BRT, taxis and so on for citizens to choose. The city I live in is a small costal city, we only have buses, taxis and motorcycle to take us around the city. Sometimes there are not enough taxis so we have to wait for a long time. In addition, a wide range of entertainment facilities are set in big cities. People can have many ways like bungee jumping, golf especially amusement parks to relax themselves. However, because of the developing economy and smaller populatin, there are not as many entertainment facilities as that in big cities. Besides, big cities stay in groove, when you go to plazas in those cities, you can see many famous foreign brands. Finally, people will be able to have more job opportunities if they live in big cities. Because there are some multinational corporations in large cities, you can challenge yourself and get a higher payment. Many people in my city chose to go to big cities to find a better job and try to have a successful career. To sum up, I think the advantages of living in large cities overweigh the disadvantages by giving the three reasons listed above.
