«Why do people like to live in the city? »
The city is the place where all industrial, cultural and educational centers are situated. In big cities you can find museums, theaters, clubs, cinemas ,big shops and hospitals People try to live in cities because all necessary objects are situated near. For example if you are ill the hospital or chemist shop is situated near your house in the city, but if you live in countryside it is hard to find any medicine help or hospital. Also in big cities you can find all sorts of entertainment such as cinemas, clubs, restaurants, bars, cafes, entertaining parks, concert halls, Zoos and so on. Many people like to spend their free time in clubs , entertaining parks because it helps them to relax and bring them a lot of pleasure.
It is really comfortable that everything you need in daily life is situated near you. One of the most important comfort of big cites that you can drive up to your job or to any supermarket very fast, for example. Yes, it is really comfortable, and at first glance everything is good but nowadays there is a great amount of cars and factories in big cities. Big cities suffer of overpopulation, air and water pollution . The streets became nosy and after hard working day people can not relax. People try to do everything to go to the countryside because only there they can find quite. Every holiday and every week-end people try to leave their houses and to go to the village. As for me I prefer to live in big cities because a lot of big shops are situated near my house, but I also like to spend my holidays in the countryside because after spending in the city about 9 months I began to get tired.
