Well, I'd love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns.<br />I grew up in a small town until I was 18, and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced<br />the good and bad sides of both.<br />I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong.<br />After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again.<br />Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport.<br />In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable.<br />You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transport.<br />Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice<br />of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving.<br />So if you don't have a car, you'd better live in the city.<br />I also love the exciting life in big cities.<br />I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows.<br />However, these things are not common in small towns.<br />The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people.<br />However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town.<br />I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull.<br />Of course, safety should be considered, and that's one area where small towns are better<br />than big cities.<br />Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe<br />but dull.<br />Well, I'd love to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns.<br />I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced<br />the good and bad sides of both.<br />I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong.<br />After ten years of living in one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again.<br />Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport.<br />In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable.<br />You can't get around without one because there isn't any kind of public transport.<br />Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice<br />of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving.<br />So if you don't have a car, you'd better live in the city.<br />I also love the exciting life in big cities.<br />I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows.<br />However, these things are not common in small towns.<br />The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people.<br />However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town.<br />I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull.<br />Of course, safety should be considered, and that's one area where small towns are better than big cities.<br />Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.
