2. Whether living in the city gives many facilities to our life or not is a controversial issue. Many people think that living in the countryside is always their best selection because it helps them to enjoy a truly peaceful life. However, in my point of view living in the city actually gives many best conditions of our life nowadays because it not only helps to improve our life quality clearly but also makes many good working opportunities to everybody.
First of all, living in the city helps to improve our life quality clearly. You know, I myself have been living at the large city for more ten years, so I can realize precisely that there are many advantages when anybody comes and works there. You have many good chances to study in celebrated high schools and the leading universities in the city nation. This helps you prepare all of the best things about your major for your future jobs. Furthermore, living in the city you will be taken care with the best conditions in national hospitals whenever you are sick or tired. Besides, you always feel relaxed and funny with many entertainment centers and services after ending hard working days at your company.
In addition to helping to improve our life quality remarkably, living in the city also makes many good working opportunities to everybody. Exactly, I mean that most large companies, famous firms and government offices are always in the capital or the big city. Annually, they need to recruit many excellent businessmen, engineers and skilled workers. As a result, this increases good chances for many students who have just graduated and want to work. So, everybody living in the city can earn money for their family’s daily expense more easily than those in the countryside.
In summary, looking at what was discussed above I believe that living in the city is actually a good condition to everybody’s life because it not only helps to improve our life quality better but also increases many working opportunities to everybody.
