参考答案: To Grow Up in the Countryside or in a Big City Is it better for children to grow up in the countryside or in a big city Different people may have different answers. Some will choose a big city, because of the good recourses and facilities of education; while others prefer the countryside. As for me, I definitely believe that there are many advantages for children to grow up in the countryside. First of all, in the countryside, children can run about in the fresh air, to have lots of spaces in which to play, to be among nature and animals to learn and explore the outside world. Secondly, growing up in the countryside helps children to develop a sense of independence and self-reliance, at an early age. Parents will allow them to play outside, without worrying about traffic or strangers. And children do not need to be accompanied by their parents. They even do not need many toys, for there’s always plenty to do in the nature. In conclusion, I think it’s better and healthier for children to grow up in the countryside than in a big city. In the open and free environment, children are likely to live more happily.
