Only a Madman Should Choose to Live in a Large Modern City.

It goes without saying that life in abig city has got a lotof disadvantages. The first and foremost is an enormous air- and noise-pollution. The car exhaust contains several pollutants and one of them is lead, which is particularly harmful to children, because it damages the brains and nervous systems.Besides, life in a big city is much more stressful than that in the country. Drivers suffer from traffic jams accidents and car crashes, pedestrians curse rush hours, constant queuing and irregularity of public transport. Businessmen and clerks are scared to lose their jobs and become unemployed. Everyone grumbles about exorbitant rents that must be paid for tiny flats. Apart from accommodation, the cost of living is very high. A citizen runs into a lot of extra expenses paying for public transport, snacks and entertainment.

But whatever the disadvantages are, I personally wouldn't swap life in the city for anything in the world. I suppose the monotony and harmonyof rural provincial existence would very soon bore me.

I would certainly miss the stimulus of the city life. There're several valid reasons for that. Firstly, life in the city is more anonymous. You can be who you want be and do what you want to do without anybody getting very upset about it, whereas in the country everybody knows you and expects you to live and behave in a certain way.

Secondly, I find the city as easier place to make friends in. In fact, you have a much wider range of people to choose from and to make friends with.

Another reason, why I like living in the city is because there is so much going on, you have accessto a huge range of concerts, of different types of music - pop, classical, jazz, whatever you are looking for. There are a lot of theatres, a lot of cinemas, there are art galleries, and there museums, libraries, gyms, discos and what not to do culturally.

I love my city for its non-stop entertainmentextravaganza, every day, all year round. Whateveryou taste, you can be sure the city will satisfy it both a grand and an ultimate scale.

It is needless to say that the citizens are more advantaged in education. The students have museum classes and excursions. They can attend lectures and preparatory courses and therefore have more chances to enter this or that university. After graduating from the university the residents of big cities are morelikely to find a prestigious and well-paid job, than outsiders. They are more communicative, more experienced and have more friends, relatives and acquaintances to help them.

So, I ultimately disagree with the statement that only a madman would live in a modern city, because I’m a big city boy (girl) and I can hardly do without all the hustle and bustle of my native city. Samuel Johnson said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." To mymind it is a 100 percent true. If you are tired of fun, pleasure, comfort and excitement a big modern city offers you, you are either tired of life or, most probably need some relaxing break in the country for a change.
