* Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more advantageous for children to grow up in rural areas than in big cities. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

 

I agree with the statement that growing up in rural areas is more advantageous than in urban areas because of the following two reasons.

 

 To start with, children who live in rural areas can find various real creatures while children in urban area are playing with computer or other devices. In other words, as children who live in cities are more exposed to the nature, they can easily enjoy their environments. For example, one of my friends who had his childhood in the country side told me his story; because he used to play in the mountain, he was able to find various new trees or beautiful sites, which located in there. However, when I was his age, I just played with my friends in the amusement arcade as a city boy.

 

 Plus, children in the countryside are more likely to have various kinds of memories. As I mentioned above statements, all of my friends in my young age met at the amusement arcade; thus, my friends and I did not have many options to play with and have very limited kinds of memories unlike children in the countryside.

 

 For those two reasons, I believe children in a rural area are highly likely to have more advantages than those who live in cities.
