Nowadays, there are more and more
cities
 on the surface of the Earth. A certain
number
 of
people
 claim that choosing big
cities
 as a habitat will get bad consequences for their
health
. I totally agree with
this
 statement, and the following essay will point out the reasons for my agreement.
Firstly
, it is obvious that in big
cities
, there are

 of residents.
This
 factor will reduce the purity of oxygen.
For instance
, by geography lessons, I can name major
cities
 of China
such
 as Shanghai and Wuhan, where the air is unhealthy because of the population.
In addition
, major towns have a large
number
 of cars and factories which
also
 detrimentally affect the local resident's
health
.
Secondly
, inhabitants of major and large
cities
 may get

 problems
due to
 medical services. Because of an excessive
number
 of patients,
people
 of
such
 towns are not able to get sufficient medical services and treatment.
Furthermore
, in my experience, there were situations when the ambulance was late to aid and there was a threat to patients’
health
. It is caused by an insufficient
number
 of doctors for
such
 a big city. Residents’
health
 can be harmed by other aspects of the big city. One clear example is noisiness and risks to the ear’s ability because sounds from major
cities
 exceed borders of human hearing standards.
For example
,
although
 Tokyo is a way famous and well-known city, eventually it is a place where
people
 get various kinds of diseases of the ears. In conclusion, some
people
 consider that habitation in large
cities
 is harmful to human
health
.
This
 suggestion has reasons like loudness, scarce medical service and cleanness of oxygen.
