M: Well, Id love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. Igrew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced thegood and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I waswrong. After ten years of living in one, I cant imagine ever living in a small town again. Surelysmall towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town,you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You cant get around without one becausethere isnt any kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensiveparking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving.So, if you dont have a car, youd better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. Ican always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things arenot common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet differentkinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I thinkthat living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course,safety should be considered, and thats one area where small towns are better than big cities.Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.
