Compare and contrast living in a small town with living in a big city

Nowadays some people prefer to live in a city but others prefer to live in a small town. The city has big buildings and great facilities but the small town is a silent and simple life with fresh food and it is in a remote area. This essay will find out the better place to live.

            There are many similarities of living in a city and a small town. Firstly, both have shops so you can buy anything you want. Secondly, both have facilities such as electricity and water supply. Thirdly, both have clinics and schools so they can treat people and educate them. Fourthly, both have places to have fun such as parks, mountains and clubs. Finally, both have garages to repair their vehicles.

            There are a lot of differences between a city and a small town. Firstly, the population in the city is more than the population in a small town. Secondly the city is noisy but the small town is quiet and good for holidays. Thirdly, the city has modern transportation such as trains and luxury cars but a small town has old cars. Fourthly, the city has more facilities than a small town such as cinemas and malls but a small town has not. The jobs in the city are better paid.

            In my opinion the life in the city is better than life in a small town because you can have great life facilities and a good education and more fun than living in the small town.

Compare and contrast

There are a lot of similarities and differences between the life now and in the past. My essay is about comparing and contrasting the life in the UAE now and 40 years ago.

There are many similarities. Firstly the weather is still hot and humid the same as in the past and many people are trying to survive and to feel good. Secondly the religion is Islam and has never changed. After that the traditional dress is almost the same as dishdasha and guttra and it helps them a lot to reflect the sun and to keep the heat away. Finally football is still the favorite sport for most of the people.

There are so many differences. Firstly the population has tripled in the past 40 years. Second they have modern transportation such as trains and fast cars. After that, the buildings have become bigger and taller than the old buildings. Finally the roads are wider and much longer and made of asphalt.

Some people like the old life and the others love the modern life but I prefer the modern life because it makes my life easy, busy and with the latest technology.
