In a small town
In a small town
Many families and individuals find themselves at some point questioning the advantages of city living versus country living. It is nearly impossible to find a good answer to this question. What is good for one person might not be good for another. Some people enjoy the busy, hyper active metropolitan city where they can use all amenities and have unlimited opportunities for work and leisure. At the same time, other people feel the urge to be closer to Mother Nature, relaxation, beauty, and peace. They take pleasure in living in the calm and peaceful environment of the countryside and spending their free time fishing, hiking, picking berries in the woods, or playing in the creek. In my opinion, the nature of urban and rural life style and the effect it has on people is the most important difference between living in the city and living in the country. I feel fortunate to have grown up in the rural area. I would never trade my memories of playing in the creek, riding four wheelers, or climbing trees all within a short walk from my house. Health, education, and transportation are three major concerns that need to be considered. While city life can bring more opportunities in these cases, country life can provide the best of both worlds.…

People always say that living in a large city is a great quality, they like it because it let them get a lot of benefits; in my opinion, every place has its drawbacks; there is no perfect place that we can say: “It is formidable”. In the other hand, they are people who hate living in a large city, and they prefer the small one. As far as I live in Raleigh, I do not like it due to three reasons: change of weather, few means of transportation, and quiet life.…
Growing up in small towns and big cities, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although it is a bit difficult to say that whether growing up in small town is more advantage than growing up in big cities, some people believe that growing up in a small town can be quite beneficial. Different people have different point of views, but I want to support my view with three advantages of growing up in a small town.…
There are some differences between life in small town and life in the big city. Firstly, the environment in a small town is better than in the big city. In the big city, it is noisier than small city where it is usually quiet and peaceful. Secondly, big city has a very high number of all kinds of vehicles in the street, which often causes severe traffic jam. On the other hand, the street in a small town is much less crowded. Thirdly, life in a small town is more exciting than life in the big city, mostly due to the difference in size of the two societies. People in small town are much closer to each other. They have a closer relationship among themselves than those living in a big city. There are also significant differences in the lifestyle between the two areas. The big city is probably more recreation facilities than small town. It has many places for enjoyment and plays, yet you can’t find these large places for entertainment in a small city. However, small town has the advantages that you can’t find it in the big city. The smallest city surrounded by natural exciting green farms and gardens. This gives more fresh air than places where there are no such green plants. Finally, in a big city there are more job opportunities due to the large number of companies and industries. On the other hand, small city has very limited job opportunities, compared with big…
I find there are many reasons why I choose to live in a small town. I can form a truly deep friendship in a small town. The type of friendship that wasn’t form based on social status, but based on the character. Friends that I can depend on in times of need. Besides that, there aren’t many people live in a small town. Mostly people who live in a small town know each other. They are more friendly and care to others. Small towns give me the opportunity of receiving help when I need it. The other reason is about the nature. The environment in the small town is great. It is away from traffic jams,the noise and air pollution. I can enjoy the fresh air, clean water, and green scenery. Living in the small town is cheaper in many aspects. The cost to purchase a house or start a business in the small town are cheaper if I compare to a big city. The property taxes and the price of basic daily needs are also cheap.…

Secondly, people choose to live in a big city because of job opportunities. In a small town, there are limited local jobs available. There may be businesses hiring like grocery stores, gas stations and fast food chains. In a big city, you can get lots of job opportunities. There are also job opportunities that have special training and higher education, creating a chance for higher wages and more promotions such as headquarters for corporations. Working for a big company has great benefits that a small town business can’t offer, like an opportunity to meet new and interesting people in the job.…
Its is also easier to find chances of getting a good job and of course a good salary if you choose to live in a big city. A big city has more opportunity to find job with good salary as there are many companies, corporations and businesses. The facilities are also good. During emergency, we do not have to be transferred to other hospital as we need only short time to get to the hospital. In addition, living in city, we can enjoy the best entertainment. There are many entertainment for our family. Furthermore, we can also enjoy many kinds of food as there are many restaurants in city. The public transportations in city are always better than the one that we have in the rural area. We can choose transport like busses, LRT or monorail which the rural area does not have. These will reduce our expenses.…
It is a well-known fact that the world is becoming increasingly urbanized. In almost every country in the world the trend has been for more and more people to move from small towns to larger cities. Although there are certain aspects of living in small town that I would appreciate such as clean air and less noise, however the urbanizing trend pretty much reflects my own preference for living in a big city rather than in a small town, because in my opinion the place one lives in plays more important role in one’s life in terms of wider range of opportunities. I think the education and career opportunities are the most prominent among them.…
It´s better to grow up in a big city than in a small town, because there are many advantages for children in big cities, as have a better education, have more opportunities, have a good quality of life, plus almost all of the places that children want to go are not far and finally children get more motivated and responsible.…
Where should we live? It is difficult to respond to this question. Some people prefer to live in a big modern city like San Francisco or New York City with many advantages, such as high education, good healthcare, entertainments facilities. While others choose to live in a countryside like Mendocino or Humboldt county where it is peaceful and relaxing. From my point of view, I would like to live in a big city, as there would be more opportunities for a growing-man like me for studying, looking for a job, and having a convenient life.…
No matter where an individual grows up, he or she often times wishes to have experiences from the opposite point of view. In small towns everyone knows each other and people live sheltered lives. There are also not a lot of job opportunities. In big cities, there is a greater success rate. People also get a better understanding of cultural differences and there are more ways to pass the time. It is better to grow up in a big city, rather than a small town because there are many more entertaining activities to take advantage of, there are more diverse people to encounter daily, and there are more job opportunities.…
