From the old times, many people live in cities. But these days, some people say that living in villages and farms area is more satisfied life. However, I think that living in the cities is more satisfied than living in the rural areas such as some villages or farms. That’s because people are likely to get better education and they are able to enjoy a lot leisure activities.
First, the city people tend to get high quality education. Since most people live in the cities, the number of students in urban areas is definitely bigger than the rural areas. So, there exist many kinds of schools and academic centers in the downtown. Also, teachers or professors usually live near the schools. Therefore residents in the city can have a great chance to access the better educational atmosphere such as private educational institutes or graduate universities. According to the Education Ministry of Korea in 2008, the number of teachers per one metro city had double over last five years. But, the number of teachers per the countryside had decreased five times during the same time. It means that teachers or professors who have the special skills or knowhow moved the rural areas and came to the cities. The more teachers get together, the more educational quality grows up. So, students and children in the cities are able to enjoy the better educational environment.
In addition, the city residents can enjoy funny leisure activities very easily. In the cities, there are the countless restaurants, movie theaters and art museums. So, city dwellers tend to have the great time with their own families or friends by visiting there. Besides, unlike the farm towns, the city’s stores usually open all day and specialize more specific. For example, if we want to eat Indian foods in the holiday, then we just visit the Indian restaurant in the downtown. And, we are able to not only eat curry but also have the opportunity to eat some particular foods that we cannot read the menu by Indian words. My elder sister, Sue lives in the countryside because she raises tomatoes and peppers. Since at that town, there are no fast-food restaurants and movie theaters, she always has to drive the car about 40 minutes to the downtown for watching the action movies or eat pizza and hamburgers. She often said that it is very difficult, uncomfortable and annoyed.
In sum, I strongly believe that the city residents get more satisfied lives than the rural people due to the very fine education and leisure activates. |
