#people #lives
In the current age, where
people
's lives are playing a significant role in our lives. But in the meantime, whether some
people
 spend most of their lives in their hometown has sparked much debate. Some
people
 believe that living close to where they were born is more convenient and comfortable but many others argue that living hometown is too boring and make small about think or experience. It is obvious that the advantages of living in their site are various.
To begin
 with, it will have a sense of comfort and convenience for the reason that
people
 who are living where they were born.
For instance
, if they are staying in their site, they can know everything about the town and they can do anything that they want to do.
Hence
, they will have a sense of comfort and satisfaction.
Secondly
, they can find jobs easier than in other towns.
For example
, if they move to other cities or overseas, they have to learn again about new places and they will not find a job quickly.
As a result
, they get a lot of stress and feel sad.
On the other hand
, the disadvantages of living close to the born area should not be ignored. If they stay all their life in their hometown, they will be bored and make ignorance
due to
 the fact that they can not learn about other cultures or new trends.
Therefore
, they must be bored and they can not think more widely. In conclusion, with the discussion above, it is not clear whether one reaches either a positive or negative effect.
Therefore
, I suggest that
people
 should try everything if it is possible.
