Topic 9 - city or countryside - Bui Nhung

Children need to be cared about both physical and spiritual life. From my point of view, living in a big city can create much more favorable conditions for children to grow up. There are 3 main reasons for me to hold my opinion.

First and foremost, in a big city, health care is better than that in the countryside. According to many reports, the density of hospital or health centers in cities is more. We will have more choices to find out the best department to cure for a particular diseases of children. Furthermore, in hospitals in urban areas, there are the latest equipments, most modern treatments and best doctors... In some emergency circumstances, it is such conditions that shorten time to give a first aid and save the life of our child. We can regularly take a lot of guidelines to look after them in health centers. In contract, there are few hospitals which possess poor health services in rural areas. That limits our choices or may cause danger in some cases.

It should be noted that education services in urban areas can supply better chance for our children to develop. It is obvious that big cities are centers of the best and largest schools, institutes... Each of them gives numerous curriculums. Based on the difference between children and what they need, we can find out the most suitable course for them. But the number of choice in the countryside is limited. Besides liberal arts schools, there are a big number of gifted schools in a big city. In early age, every child has chance to find out its talent and nurse its passion. For example, if our child is talented in music. Conservatories and chances to join competition system would facilitate such kids to develop and perform better than that in rural areas.

Finally, big cities have better entertainment conditions for children than countryside. After hard-learning days, entertainment is necessary for kids to relax and create interests for the next days. In towns, extra-curricular activities is more diversified such as going to the countryside, organizing camps in park or zoo, enjoying voluntary activities and orientation programs.... Moreover, there are a lot of entertainment centers for kids to play. Just going into a complex entertainment center, they can take part in various games ranging from dancing, swimming, singing to electronic games. Such activities helps children not only have fun but also improve the brain and mindset of children.

All in all, in order to take care our children, we need the best conditions. Living in a big city can provide us with such conditions. Our kids have better health care, education and entertainment services to assist their growth.
