Topic: Some people think that cities are the best places to live. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living in a big city.

A megacity has attracted hundreds and thousands of people to come because people believe that the big

city

has the best

resources

.

However

, a big

city

also

has some disadvantages. My reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs. Let's talk about the advantages

first

.

First

, there are more

job

opportunities in a big

city

than in a small town. A big

city

is invariably populous;

therefore

, more jobs are demanded to deal with the enormous requests. Take my cousin as an example. Our town is a small

city

next

to

Shanghai

, and the

job

market there is quite small;

hence

, it is not easy to find a suitable place there.

Nevertheless

, he moved to

years old, and he found an ideal occupation there promptly. As a consequence, it can be concluded that the bigger the

city

's scale, the more

job

opportunities.

Second

, big cities consistently have the best

resources

,

such

as education

resources

or medical

resources

.

For instance

, I grew up in China and it's well known that all the best universities and hospitals are located in either Beijing or

Shanghai

. I have been to one of those best hospitals in

Shanghai

once with my mother. The journey was exhausting because we took the train early to be there on time.

Therefore

, I was thinking, were I to live in a big

city

, everything would be easier.

On the other hand

, living in a big

city

also

has some disadvantages.

First

, life in a big

city

is stressful.

For instance

, every day you wake up, you need to think about how you can do better to keep your

job

and not be fired. For children, the competition is

also

fierce; they need to hard overly hard to get a place at a good university.

Second

, a big

city

consistently is environmental-unfriendly. Take Beijing as an example; Beijing has severe air pollution nowadays, the sky in Beijing is enveloped by heavy smoke, and residents haven't seen stars for years.

In addition

, people can suffer from illnesses,

such

as coughing or dizziness from smoking that polluted air. In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages of living in a megacity.
