▶ Your Answer : Every town or city has its own beauty and ugly side, New York,for instance,is well known for its glamorous and grand scale of skyscrapers and diversity culture, however, its also notorious for dirty streets and heavy traffic jam. In my town, the story goes same.In this essay, I would like to enumerate some of advantages and drawbacks of my town.
Firstly, when a person comes to my town, he would notice right away how clean,yet convenient it is. My town is situated in a rather rural area with a lot tree turning colors according to seasons,however, it only takes 40 minutes to get to the metropolitan city called Seoul. I once used to live in a far remote countryside,in which it would take me at least 30 minutes to get to any place regardless of its kind. This inconvenience accumulated to the point where I started to hate every aspect of that place, if even there were surely many advantages. On the other hand, living in a metropolitan city would not be very pleasing from certain perspective:ever-lasting traffic jam,crowded area with people packed trying to bustle each other,high cost of living,busy life style are just a few of representation of city life. Ideally, my town offers the convenience of city life supplemented by serenity,coziness,and environmentally friendly of countryside.
Conversely, education and relative lack of job opportunity can be shortcomings of my town. My town is newly established town, thus every aspects of my town are of less experience. And this sometimes makes frustration and less desirable place to live for a long time. Education,for example, can only see the enhancement after a number of mistakes and correction,competition and advancement,experience over experience. However, because many families are farming-related backgrounds, they have tendency to put less emphasis on education than city might be. Moreover, less number of schools in my town doesn't make it necessary to compete with one another;leading to rather laid-back in terms of developing new teaching methods and curriculum. Therefore, when put into strict comparison with those of city, it leaves a lot to be desired, specially for those who value highly of their child's education.
Just like any other towns and cities, my town has its own good and bad side. Depending on how we perceive and what things we put value on, it can either be perfect place to live or worst place to live. However, experiencing as many places as possible wouldn't hurt, so I recommend visiting my town and see for yourself. | |
