City is a large important town completed by a number of buildings, schools, and the other important infrastructures. Some people think that living in a city offers several benefits for their future. But there those who say that city is a place where they can face big problems which imperil their safety.

On the plus side, it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don’t need to own a car. In addition, there are a lot of interesting things to do and place to see. For example, we can eat in good restaurants, visit ,museums, go to the theater and to concert. City life is full of bustle and variety that will never make people you feel bored.

On the contrary, city can be a hell for those who have low salary. They might have a job, but unless it is very well paid, they will not be able to afford many of the things that they really need because of the unreachable price.

In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly appealing to young people who like the excitement of the city and don’t mind the noise and pollution. However, many people when they get older, and particularly when they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside.
