Although many people say there are great opportunities in a big city, the life here is not good for some people. First, people do not have enough free time because they are too busy with work and appointments. Parents and their children do not come home to eat lunch together. Some employees go to work before the sun comes up and return home after dark. Because of their schedules, families only spend time together on the weekend. Second, driving is necessary. Everyone must have a car to go to school or work or the store. For example, a mother might have to drive her children to school, and after school to soccer practice or to other activities. Because there is usually a lot of traffic, it may cause stress. Third, the cost of living is very expensive. Most people live in apartments because they cannot afford to buy an apartment. Also, people need a lot of money for entertainment. A visit to an aquarium could cost twenty dollars for each ticket. Even though there are many things to do in the city, some people do have happy lives.
