Some people think that it’s better for their children to grow up in the countryside; other people think that it’s better their children to grow up in a big city. Both possibilities have some advantages and disadvantages. I’ll give advantages of each approach and I’ll argue in favor of this that it’s better for children to grow up in the countryside.

In a society where money, career and convenience are important things, many people prefer to live in big cities. Consequently their children grow up there. In the following passage I’ll state some important aspects of the life in the big cities. People go to live there at many reasons. First, a big city provides many opportunities for career and education. For instance, If I live in South Dakota I’ll have chance to live in connection with nature but there are few universities and work positions. However if I live in New York I’ll have opportunity to choose between hundreds of universities and thousands free work positions. This connection If our children grow up in a big city, they will have chance to study in prestige school. Besides, they will be prepared for the life with strong competition.

However we know that the life in a big city has some disadvantages. For instance, stress is problem number one in a big city. That is why many people think that it’s better for their children to grow up in the countryside. The life there has many advantages. First, children, which grow up in the countryside, have chance to live with connection with nature. In most cases there are more calmly and they seldom suffer from psychical diseases in contrast with children which grow in a big city. The life in the countryside is not so dynamic than life in the big city. In the countryside there are few changes. For example, children often spend their childhood in one house, they study in one school, and their parents rarely change their work positions, which reflect negative on the children. To sum up, the life in the countryside is related to few problems than this in a big city.

In conclusion, I think that it’s better for children to grow up in the countryside. That is why, the first thing that we must save is health of our children.
