First,
Linking Words
the living condition here is really good, it has lots of markets, supermarkets and some other convenient buildings.
Secondly
Linking Words
, the citizens are very friendly and sociable, they
also

are really helpful too.
However

, there are a few reasons that make me feel bad. First of all, the living condition is good but because of that it leads to a high cost of living. Next, society’s vices are pretty high,
although
Linking Words
they are about to decrease nowadays. These make the inhabitants who come from the countryside
