In conclusion, this essay has highlighted the main reasons and results of living
in big cities.
Summary: People prefer to live in large cities to seek the best services like
medical and educational, the chance to get a job, and enjoy unlimited
entertainment activities. This choice leads to many effects like suffering
polluted areas. Furthermore, some residents become unable to afford their
living due to their low income in addition to the threat of crime and
violence.
Opinion and advice: In my opinion, despite life in a city is interesting and has
lots of benefits, I advise you not to make it your permanent place of living.
