Some people prefer to live in a small town.Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place wouldyou prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and detailsto support your answer. 　　I grew up in a small town and then moved to abig city, so I have experienced the good and badsides of both. I never thought that I would like livingin a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of livingin one, I can't imagine ever living in a small town again. 　　Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a smalltown, you have to own a car to ensure a comfortable living. You can't get around without onebecause there isn't any kind of public transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic andexpensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It's not free,but it's often cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time. Especially if you don't havea car, you're better off in the city. 　　I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you haveto adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trying a new restaurant.I enjoy that challenge very much. Another pan of the excitement of city living is the variety ofcultural activities available. There is a wide assortment of theatre, music and danceperformances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones. 　　The final thing I like about large cities is the diversity of the people. The United States ismade up of people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests. However, you seldom findsuch a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone wasjust like me would quickly become boring. 　　Of course, security is a concern, and that's one area where small towns are superior tobig cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautious and live in a large city than to feel securebut bored.
