Answer 1

In my point of view, growing up in a big city contributes far better to a child than growing in the countryside. We can list all the advantages and disadvantages for both of the two, thus it is easier to make the choice.

Growing up in a big city means the children get a better chance to receive excellent education. As we know, most of the outstanding schools locate in big cities, and living there can give children a easier access to the first-class faculties and facilities. While in the countryside, one cannot guarantee that the quality of the education given there is up to date, and poor education surely will weaken the capability of competing in the future society.  

Being brought up in a big city also means that the children live in a environment that involves all kind of people, which plays a key role in forming the children`s cooperation will and will benefit them in the long run. Children meet with different and talk to them, getting to know various types of culture and learning to respect each other. thus they can be capable of dealing with teamwork, which severs as a very important element in this world. Once in countryside, just imagine those familiar people the children meet everyday, it is quite dubious how the children will respond to the multi-culture if they step into a much bigger and more complex society one day.  

Besides all of above statements, I think that living in a big city has more fun, cause you always have something interesting at hand to do. Visiting museums and art galleries will entitle children eyes to appreciate the heritages passed down to us, all kinds of society activities can help them to foster a community sense. While living in the countryside is always referred as “the frog at the bottom of a well, all you can see is the little piece of sky formed by the rims of the well”.
