TASK 3
(Unit 2 – Urbanization)
Topic: Write about the advantages and disadvantages of city life and
decide if you want to live in an urban or rural area. What are your
reasons?

The city is a place where many more people live than the countryside.
So what are the benefits and disadvantages of living in the city?
As everyone knows, living in the city will give you access to advanced
modern technology. This will serve our lives a lot and above all we will
gain a lot of knowledge about the field of science and technology. In
addition, urban areas open up avenues for finding jobs. Most of the
corporate offices, factories, government offices, garments, and
companies are located in the city or near the city. Big cities are major
cultural centers with vibrant art and music scenes, a variety of cuisines,
more places to visit like museums, events like ball games and concerts,
and a diverse population with a common experience of city life.
Besides advantages, living in the city brings us a lot of disadvantages.
First, what everyone thinks about is the cost of living here. It is really
expensive so this is something to consider when we want to live in an
urban area. Because this is a crowded place, there will often be traffic
jams, causing environmental pollution. This is also a place with many
social evils that will affect the residents living here, especially children
and students who are easily attracted to them.
In short, I still prefer living in the city because it will help me improve
my quality of life and is also a good environment where I can study and
experience many things.
