Topic: Is life better in a city or in a small town? Explain your point of view in an essay. Use your personal observations, experience, and knowledge to support your view.

Even though I have never lived in a city, I think life is better in a small town because the community is close knit. Small towns have less crime and less traffic as well.

In a small town everybody seems to know each other. Strangers smile at you when you pass them in public. It also seems like people in small towns are more willing to reach out and help you when you are in need.

Cities seem to have a lot of crime and in small towns crime is very low. You don't have to worry about locking doors or closing windows and you are less likely to get mugged or robbed. Children are also safe walking to school alone or playing outside with little or no supervision.

Traffic is another great thing about living in a small town. It takes less time to drive from one end of town to the other than it does in the city. You also don't have to wait very long at intersections or spend much time searching for a free parking spot.

Even though I think life is better in a small town with less crime, less traffic and a close knit community, I would still like to explore the city. It could be fun to live in a new environment.
