Follow-ups 
1. Why do more and more people live in the city? 
I think the main reason is employment. It is very difficult to find high-paid jobs in rural areas or towns. 
Another important reason is facilities. People have access to better education, healthcare, and 
entertainment facilities in cities. 
2. How does this affect the environment and nature? 
I think the growing urbanisation is leading to stress on the environment. The amount of waste and 
pollution being generated in cities is unsustainable in the long run. It has adverse consequences for 
human health as well. In fact, studies have shown that the life expectancy of people in urban areas is 
considerably less than in rural areas because of air pollution. 
3. What are some factors that attract people to settle down in some places? 
I think employment is the main factor. If there are employment opportunities in places, they would 
always attract people. Besides that, location and climate are also important. For example, the 
popularity of California is because of its pleasant climate. For some people, an important 
consideration is the quality of education their children can receive in the area. Many people even 
migrate to districts with better schools 
4. What are the differences between the young and old when choosing a place to live? 
I think young people today care the most about employment opportunities and entertainment 
facilities when choosing the location. They prefer places with a good nightlife, availability of malls 
and shopping centres. On the other hand, the old prefer living in places with good health care 
facilities. They also prefer safe neighbourhoods and cities.
