Family members provide us with a sense of belonging and always stand firmly behind us.
Some people argue that the countryside is an ideal place for people
to take care their family members,
because the environment there is much more suitable for one’s health.
I disagree. As for me, big cities are the best place for people to look after their family.
First, medical care and education is more affordable for people in the city.
There are more work opportunities in big cities than in the countryside.
Besides, wages are better in cities.
People can usually earn two or three times more working the same job in a city than
they can in a town or village.
Better wages and more affordable services guarantees that
the basic needs and living conditions of family members are better in the city.
Second, elderly people can be better taken care of when if they live in big cities.
Since older people are more vulnerable to disease and sickness,
living in the city is better because they can receive better medical care.
In the case of a medical emergency, it is better to live in a city,
where there is always a hospital or infirmary nearby.
If an emergency happens, such as heart attack,
people who live in the city do not have to worry about driving a long distance
to reach the nearest doctor.
Third, children can be better educated in big cities.
For one thing, many top high schools and universities are located in big cities.
For instance, in China, the most influential universities, like Tsinghua University,
can only be found in Beijing.
For another thing, zoos, parks, museums and libraries are easily accessible
if you live in a big city.
Students who live in the city can more easily visit the city library, or the zoo.
These learning opportunities outside the classroom are important for a child’s development.
All in all, due to the greater chance of a good material life,
better medical and better educational opportunities for children,
living in the city is the best choice for people who want to support their family.
