There are both advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city. However, if I have to choose one between the two, I would choose the former because the disadvantages of a big city are utterly overshadowed by the advantages. It is because that I can have more opportunities to choose in variety of range in a big city. Also, a big city make safe environment to live in because of their large population and technological development.
First of all, in a big city, there are various things to choose. Since a big city includes a lot of markets and customers, there are also various goods to buy while a small city has only small markets. For example, I need to go big city or search for the internet to buy clothes which I really want because there are no bountiful choices near my house which located in a small city. Also, there are many events and festival I can take part in when I live in a big city. Not only the city government but also citizens make interesting events and festival such as firework festival, road performances in a big city. I can choose the one of them and enjoy it with my family or friends. At this sense, I would like to live in a big city than a small city.
Secondly, contrary to the public belief, a big city is safer than a small city to live in. In a big city, there are many people anywhere, anytime to see an offender so that the crime is hard to occur. For example, the famous crimes usually occur at a place which people less pass through like rural road. Furthermore, because CCTV and guidance system are well installed in a big city, people can live without less worrying about a crime. Not only child is safe enough but also their parents do not need to worry about them. Therefore, I think living in a big city is better because it assure more safe living and reduce worrying about crime.
In sum up, I believe that a big city is better than a small city to live in. Although a big city cost expensive fee to live in, there are advantages to fully cover them. If I live in a big city, I would have broad range of goods and events to choose and it will increase the quality of life. Also, living in a big city is safer because big city’s environment make crime occur difficultly. |
