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.
