　　There are undeniable advantages to both life in a big city and in a smalltown. The former offers more excitement and convenience while the latter offersa cleaner, quieter and often friendlier place to live. However, despite theadvantages of small town life, I prefer to live in a big city for severalreasons.

　　First, life in the city is more convenient. More goods are available andstores are open later. Also, there is better public transportation so it iseasier to get around. I can find almost anything I want easily in the city.Second, there are more ways to spend leisure time in the city. There are manyplaces I can go to meet friends and have fun. Finally, and most importantly, thecity offers more educational and career opportunities. The city often attractsthe best teachers and the best companies. There is also a wider choice of jobsso it is easier to move up the career ladder.

　　For all of these reasons, I prefer to live in the city. Although Isometimes miss the fresh air and quiet life of a small town, nothing can make upfor the opportunities that the city offers me. If one wants to be successful, Ibelieve the best place to live is the city.
