Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------- In Japan, where I currently live, there are more and more people who choose to live in a small city which is natural and quiet surroundings in a countryside because they can feel more relax in there. However, I prefer to live in a big city because it has more advantages than living in a small town. To begin with, I can have more chances to meet up new people in a big city. In my case, I attend some events for meeting up new people almost every month and it is really fun to talk new people because different people have different background and story. In last month, I met a male tourist from England and Poland, Japanese entrepreneur, and some politicians through these kinds of events. However, in a small town, I guess there are not so much this kind of events. Big cities generally have more types of people so I can have more chance to meet up new types of people who I never met in my life. To meet up new people makes me to encouter a new set of values and even sometimes even open new worlds. As my example illustrated, to live in a big city is better for me to meet up new people. In addition, when I live in big city, there are a lot of places to hang out. In big cities, the population density is high therefore there are more recreational places such as restaurants from various countries, a lot of types of bars, nightclubs, movie theaters, some kind of shops, and anything fun. Plus, I never worried about what should I do for the next in big cities because I usually find something interesting just by walking in big cities. In small cities, however, usually the life is just simple, and nothing to do. That`s why people live in there go to big cities for hanging out with their friends every times For me, this is super boring and it is too much hassle to take a train every times just for hanging out. As take my second example, I prefer to live in a big city for having a good time rather than to live in a small city. In conclusion, because of meeting new people and many places to hang out, I prefer to live in a big city.
