Living in big cities is the dream of many youngsters. Some people think that

it is harmful to people’s health because of rising air pollution here while

others claim that with higher living standards, city dwellers can keep their

health better. I strongly agree with the statement for the following reasons.

First, it is argued that living in big cities offers the best health condition to

people. As a result of the intensive appearance of hospitals and availability of

cutting-edge technology, professional doctors can provide citizens with the

best health-care. However, facts have shown that the opposite. No matter

how advanced facilities are, city dwellers can hardly avoid rising air

pollution from factories, cars and others. Surveys have shown that the

number of people suffering respiration-related diseases is increasing

staggeringly, followed by a higher rate of deaths and other consequences. In

addition, due to working under high pressure to earn a living, people in big

cities experience constant stress and have little to enjoy their life. Insomnia,

hypertension and the like often appear in their lives, driving them crazy.

Second, the belief is that rich entertainment life can refresh and strengthen

the life of city dwellers. From movies, musical festivals to cultural events,

they can feel relaxed after hard-working days by enjoying these services.

Nevertheless, is it true? The busy life of work has deprived them of time to

savor such rich mental lives. In addition, more and more people turn to bars

and karaoke at nights to release their stress and even alcohol to kill their daily

worry. The consequence is that they wake up with hangover and more

tiredness. Furthermore, to come back to work effectively and meet the

deadline, they rush to fast-food restaurants, grab the bite, and that is it for the

entire day. With such a way of eating, their digestive systems are soon put in

danger while they are going to see their level of cholesterol escalating

everyday uncontrollably. 

In brief, there are more pains than gains to live in big cities with regard to

health matter. The most important is that we-youngsters- should consider the

decision before leaving for this area for good. 

1. Refresh: lam cho ai do tinh tao

2. Escalate: leo thang

3. Insomnia: mat ngu

4. Hangover: dau dau sau khi uong ruou

5. Staggeringly: mot cach dang kinh ngac
