▶ Your Answer : Some people may think that it is better to move one place to another than to live in one city or town. However, I disagree with this statement for two reasons. First, by living in one place, people can build up strong relationships with other people. Second, it is not easy to adjust yourself to a new place. To start with, when living in one town or city, you can strengthen bond with your neighbors. As old saying goes, “A close neighbor is better than your brother who lives far away.” When living in a same community, more than likely people interact. They talk, visit, and help each other a lot. On top of that, it is hard adjusting yourself to a new place. When moving away from one place to another, it takes amount of time to get used to it. Also, it is even harder to be far away from all people you knew. For instance, Hyeon, a friend of mine, lived in one town for 16 years. After graduating from the high school, she moved away from the town. When she entered the high school, she did not know anybody from the school. Everyone, except her, knew each other, so they were hanging out without her. Also, she wasn't aware of facilities of the new town. So she was lost and looked for a bus station for an hour. She says she hated that she moved away. On the whole, when moving away from one place to another, people often encounter numerous hardships because getting used to a new place is very difficult. In contrast, when living in one city or town, people can strengthen their relationships with their neighbors. For these reasons, I firmly believe that living in one place is better than moving from one place to another. |
