People can easily find the necessary things for themselves. Many people like to spend hours to do shopping. On the other hand, there are some disadvantages in the life in big city. For example, there is a bad ecology. There are many kinds of transport that pollute the air. Factories put their waste into water and atmosphere. People are nervous because of the rapid rhythm of the life and they begin to smoke. It also pollutes the air. People are always in a hurry in big cities. Sometimes they pass by each other, not noticing the familiar faces. We must not forget that living in a big city, you can spend a lot of time to get from one place of the city to another. As for me, I could not live in a big city all the time. Sometimes I would need to go to any suburb with more fresh air and the measured rhythm of life. We cannot say "big city is bad", or "big city is good." Life in the big city has many advantages and disadvantages. And everyone can find a reason to live there.
В наши дни много людей проживает в больших городах. Некоторые из них родились здесь, другие приехали из маленьких городов. Что может дать им жизнь в большом городе? C одной стороны, жизнь в большом городе предлагает много развлечений. Можно обойти множество кафе, ресторанов, музеев или кинотеатров. Можно гулять по улицам города целый день и рассматривать красивую архитектуру. Затем вы можете отправится в городской парк, и отдохнуть там. Кроме того, в большом городе гораздо больше возможностей для реализации планов. Здесь гораздо больше рабочих мест. Многие люди смогут найти для себя интересную работу. Если они постараются, конечно. В больших городах много магазинов и супермаркетов. Люди могут легко найти необходимые для себя вещи. Многие люди любят часами заниматься шопингом. С другой стороны, есть некоторые недостатки в жизни в больших городах. Например, здесь плохая экология. Много видов транспорта, который загрязняет воздух. Заводы и фабрики выбрасывают свои отходы в воду и атмосферу. Из-за быстрого ритма жизни много людей нервничает и начинает курить. Это тоже загрязняет воздух. Кстати, о ритме жизни. В большом городе люди всегда куда-то спешат. Иногда они пробегают мимо друг друга, не замечая знакомых лиц. Нельзя забывать и о том, что живя в большом городе, ты можешь потрать много времени для того, чтобы добраться из одного места города в другой. Что до меня, я бы не смогла жить в большом городе все время. Иногда мне было бы необходимо уехать в какой-нибудь пригород с более чистым воздухом и размеренным ритмом жизни. Нельзя сказать «большой город – это плохо», или «большой город – это хорошо». Жизнь в большом городе имеет множество преимуществ и недостатков. И каждый может найти повод жить здесь или уехать в более маленький город.
