A speaking activity to develop critical thinking skills about living in big cities at an advanced level of language learning.

1. From my point of view, I don't
reckon that living a cosmopolitan
style of life in a big city like the
depicted one, would be of much use
to my privacy and quality of life
,except for enhancement of
university studies and the
opportunity to cultivate the spirit of
yours with constant visits to spot of
cultural interest, such as art
exhibitions, galleries, opera houses,
cinemas, theatres and the like.
As far as health is concerned,
affordability may provide for the
best health treatment ever,
regardless of your residence area.

2. One side of the coin is that living in a
big city ,actually, does have many
cultural amenities, such as a highly
sophisticated culture sector catering for
all tastes , ranging from art galleries to
ancient sites , the current night life
entertainment included. A lively
atmosphere in combination with high
education and the hustle -and-bustle of
city attracts the interest as well as
participation of many inhabitants in it ,
particularly ,the younger generation
with their families.
On the other side of the coin, the high
levels of noise and air pollution along
with traffic congestion hamper the
volition of resodents to commute from
one district to the next.

3. It is vitally evident that every
city ought to be able to offer to
its citizens an efficient and
affordable public transport system
to minimise the high levels of air
pollution to the fullest. In this
way, not only will commuters use
it more frequently, but. they'll
also reduce the use of private car
ownership, exercise more and save
up on fuels .
Other services include common use
of rubbish collection which, itself,
in turn, may convert into
recyclable items- and
,automatically, ready for use, as
well as open spaces for city
dwellers to relax in.
