Some people believe that it is better for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. However, other people think that a big city gives more opportunities and it is good for the long run. Personally, for several reasons I think that it is better for children to grow up in a city that offers numerous advantages.

First of all, it is very important for a child to grow up in a healthy environment. Children need fresh air, not polluted by the huge amount of cars and factories of the modern city. In the country, they can spend more time exercising and walking with their friends. Scientists say that now children spend the same amount of time watching TV as they do at school. Probably, the possibility to join their friends for a play will change this proportion. Another important aspect of this is that parents will have more time to spend with their children as a result of eliminating traffic jams and decreasing driving time as a whole.

From the other side, children have some advantages living in a big city. For example, they have more opportunities to choose from what they want to do. They can choose to attend ballet school, school of art, gymnastics, etc. For the long run, it is good for them. They will be better prepared for a life in a "real world" and they will have more chances to make a good career and succeed. Moreover, a big city usually has many entertaining centres with movie theatres and play stations. When I was a child I liked to go to the movie theatre with my parents to watch a premiere.

One more reason to choose a big city for a child is that a city provides better live conditions and services such as medical, dental, etc. My friend lived in the country for a while and one time he and his family had to drive a couple of hours to the nearest medical centre when his child got a heavy cough.

To summarise, I agree with those people who want to raise their children in a city. The plenty of opportunities offered by a city helps children to find what they really like and be the best at it. Moreover, despite the air pollution, children get a better medical service that is good for their health.

Everyplace has its advantages and disadvantage, so it’s hard to choose where you can live either on small country or on a big city. But most people prefer to live on the place where they see that it bring to them more benefits to their life. Some people choose to live and grow up on the small country, but in my point of view I would like to grow up on a big city because I see that a city provides to me all I need.First of all, big city is suitable place to build up a relationship with new people. City includes many entertainment places that attract the people either from same country or from other one to visit it, and we know it’s the best place that gathers a people of different culture and languages. So it is chance to know new friend and earn new languages and background about others country. For example, when I watched movie in the cinema, I meet a person from North Korea, and he know well about our English language and about USA, we open conservation about many different topic. So from that moment we become close friend and I still in communicate with him. After great effort I learn his language.Second, big city include many colleges and universities with different department, which provide for its inhabitants a good education. The colleges in small country may not provide includes the purview that is more needed in a labor market, that’s why the city is more preferable for many due to the variety of colleges that include many purview with a teacher of high qualification and knowledge. Since the college is just the stage to prepare the students for future job.Finally, big city provides more job opportunity than the small country does. City includes a lot of company of different ranges that will help many people and increase their chances to find a good job with a high salary. It’s a good reason that attracts the people to live in city rather than country, because the people whom live in the country find difficulties for having a job suitable with their education and qualification. For example, my friend has civil engineer qualification; he spent one year in searching for new job in his country that allows him to work with his certification, and he didn't find any one. So he moved to the city and he finally work in the biggest civil engineering company.To sum up, some people believe that the country is the best place to live and grow up, but after I saw how many the benefits that the city can bring to the human life, I strongly agree to live on the city without any hesitation.
