living in the big city may make the growing of children so easy. For example, in the big 
city parents can find a suitable baby care center for their children easily. They can also find 
modern schools in which their children can go. Third, parents can find excellent hospitals 
in which their children can go if they get sick. 
Even though growing it is better for children to grow up in the countryside or village for 
many different reasons, children may grow up in the big city for other aspects. In my own 
opinion, I believe that it is better for children to grow up in the big city for the following 
reasons. First, in the big city a mother can find easily a reliable person who loves her kids 
during her work outside the home. Second, living in the urban city may help children in 
growing in a social atmosphere. For example, in the big city there are a lot of children who 
can play together. In conclusion, growing of children in the big city is better than the 
countryside. At last, can you imagine the population density in the big city if all parents 
suddenly decide to leave the city and go to the countryside to let their children grow up 
there? Of course, I know your answer!!! 
(c) Some people prefer living in a big city; others enjoy residing in a small town or in the 
countryside. Children usually do not have a choice and live where their parents choose to 
live. Both living in a big city and living in the countryside have some advantages and 
disadvantages for children’s development. In my opinion, living in a big city is more 
beneficial for children because it offers more choices in education, services and fun 
activities. 
Most of us agree that education is crucial for our children. Often, when a family 
resides in the countryside, there is only one neighborhood school in the area. On the 
contrary, there are plenty of educational choices in a big city: French schools, private 
schools, Montessori centers, and, of cause public school. 
Another reason for me to believe that living in a big city is better for children is a 
higher level of availability of different services. From my personal experience of living in 
a small town in northern Ontario I can say that it was a problem to find a dentist or family 
physician in the area, so we had to travel up to fifty kilometers in order to get help. 
Last, but not least is that living in a big city offers a variety of extracurricular 
activities: sports, arts, hobby clubs, dance schools, gyms, and many more. I strongly 
believe that those activities are very important for children’s development. 
In conclusion, no doubts that living in the countryside have some advantages; 
however, in my opinion, growing children are much more benefited living in a big city.
They have more opportunities to get good education, to receive services they need, and to 
have quality fun time.
