THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF LIVING IN A SMALL TOWN.

Do you want to live in a small town? It maybe is quite a difficult choice because each person has their own opinions. Some people like living in a small town but others prefer living in a big city. This essay will analyse the advantages and disadvantages of living in a small town.

At the beginning we will look at several advantages of living in a small town. First of all, one of the biggest advantages is fresh air because there are not many houses or buildings in the countryside. Moreover, there are a lot of trees and plants in the country, whereas trees are cut down and rivers are filled up for buildings in a big city. Thus,the air in small town is very fresh and pure which si really good for health. The second advantage id peace. In the countryside there are a lot of spectacular landscapes that make people fell relaxed and peaceful. They take away thebig cities' noises and busyness. Therefore,people will enjoy a simple life with nature and beautiful landscapes. The final advantage is safety. In the countryside, people are friendly and life is simple. In additon, the standard of living is lower than in a big city. Thus, there are not many social evils in a small town.

These are several advantages of living in a small town. Next, we will define some of a small town's disadvantages.

One of the most important disadvantages is a lack of schools. The government only spends money to build a lot of schools in a big city. There are manay choices for schools, such as public school, private school and international school. Constrastly, there are only several schools in the countryside. They have poor conditions and equipment. Furthermore, especially colleges and universities are not sufficient for students. Thus, they have to move to big cities to study and do not want to come back to their hometowns. Another vital disadvantage is a poor health care system. As with schools, the government spends more money on health care in big cities, whereas in the countryside, there are only one or two small houses which are decorated as doctors' offices. Additionaly, they do not have good equipment. Likewise, doctor do not have good skills. Therefore, when having a difficult surgery, a patient will be sent to a big hospital in the city. That not only wastes time, but also wastes money, especially patient's health. Last but not least of the disadvantages of living in a samll town is that people do not have chance to get a good job. Young people nowadays are very active and ambitious. So ,they want to get a lot monay, to use advanced technology and to compete with others. Unfortunately, work conditions in the countryside do not create these remands. So, young people go to big cities to achieve their dreams and have bright futures. Most of them will probably not come back to their hometowns.

In conclusion, each place has their own ad
