There are more disadvantages than advantages in living in a big city (вариант 17) (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Nowadays popularity of big cities is constantly increasing. People work hard searching for brilliant opportunities and chasing success. Nonetheless, some people find living in metropolitan area harmful, whereas others are sure that life in a megalopolis is a splendid idea.

As for me, living in a big city has more gains than losses. First of all, industry is well-developed in megalopolises, thus, one can get a decent education and find a well-paid job. Moreover, it is commonly known that big cities has a lot of opportunities. One has more chances to be realized on work, at school or university, because of highly qualified specialists and teachers. Secondly, infrastructure in big cities is well developed. There are a lot of superior supermarkets, hospitals, pharmacies, various entertainments in big cities.

Thus the quality of life is much higher than in small towns, because economics does not stand still.

However, a lot of people claim that living in megalopolis does a lot of harm to health. They believe that in concrete jungles there is no chance to find fresh fruits and vegetables, that all the food is artificial.

I cannot agree with the above opinion. One can always find high quality food in special farm shops. In addition, variety of food in a big city is much more extensive than in a small one. For instance, there are more vegan, vegetarian or raw options in supermarkets and restaurants.

To sum up, I strongly believe that life in a big city is quite diverse, it can help one to become a successful person and to lead healthy and happy life.
