Some people prefer to live in a small town. Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would
you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
Everyone has different dreams when it comes to where they wish to live. Some people think that
living in a small town is desirable, while others choose city life. Personally, I would prefer to live in a
large city. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin with, cities offer a great environment for raising children, and I am a person who values
family above all else. Urban areas have numerous parks and recreation centers which encourage children
to lead vital and healthy lives, and they also have well-funded community centers which contribute to the
intellectual development of young people. My own experience demonstrates the value of such facilities.
Both my husband and I work full time jobs, and are not home when our two sons finish school. This is not
a problem, though, as both of them go directly to a local community center when their classes are over.
Our eldest son participates in a computer club there, while our youngest son practices photography. Their
participation in these programs sets my mind at ease, as without access to the community center they
would spend this time home alone. This situation compares favorably to a friend of mine who lives in a
small town and is forced to hire an expensive babysitter to watch her children when they get home from
school, as there are no meaningful activities for them to engage in when their classes finish.
Secondly, I believe that large cities offer cultural experiences that adults can enjoy and appreciate.
Most large cities have a plethora of museums, ethnic restaurants, libraries, theater groups and other
stimulating and cosmopolitan facilities. My city is no exception. For example, my colleagues and I spend
every Friday evening visiting a new ethnic restaurant for dinner. Over the past three months we have
enjoyed food from more than a dozen different national cuisines. Meanwhile, my sons and I go to a
different museum once a month. I have found that I enjoy our visits almost as much as they do. These are
the sort of outings that are only possible in a large urban area. Small towns offer easy access to beautiful
natural vistas, but I prefer the intellectual and cultural stimulation that my city offers.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that living in a large city is preferable to living in a small town.
This is because cities are a better environment to raise children, and because they also offer stimulating
intellectual and cultural experience that adults can enjoy.
