There are advantages and disadvantages to a childhood in either the country or a city It's hard to say which is better Growing up in the country means a certain amount of isolation You're in a small town or on a farm and not with a lot of people Even more important, the people you meet every day tend to be just like you Most will be the same race as you, have the same background as you, and will have gone to the same schools as you In the city, the people you meet are all different There are different races and different cultures You get a more interesting mix City people tend to come from a lot of different places and move around a lot So, there isn't the sense of community in the city that you have in the country People in the city can live in the same apartment building for twenty years and never get to know their neighbors In the country, everybody knows everybody For a child, this means the country is more secure A child can get lost or hurt in the city and have no one to turn to In the country, everyone's a neighbor People in the country feel connected to each other A child growing up in the city has the advantage of a lot of interesting and exciting places to visit He or she can go to the zoo, museums, art galleries and concerts There are a lot of restaurants with different kinds of food It's easy to see every new movie that comes out Children in the country don't have a lot of these activities nearby All in all, I think a childhood in the city is better because it prepares you more for what real life is like - THE END (5)
