Life in a city
Life in a city is always busy and human activities go on throughout 24 hours as it never sleeps. It is hectic as people keep on moving from to there in a hurry all the time.
Early in the morning, hundred of thousands of city dwellers rush out of their homes heading to their working places. A traffic situation gradually turns from bad to worse when the office opening hour comes closer. Students and buses pass by one after another. At peak hours, city streets are full of smoke emitted from the exhausted pipes of various types of vehicles that get stuck on the same spot for several hours ad this situation takes place both in the morning and in the evening.
Look through the car windows at parents feeding their children who have to attend their classes just a few minutes ahead. On the passenger bus itself, some passengers its asleep while those who did not get the seats stand moody and look at their watches from time to time. During the rainy season, traffic frequently becomes paralysed when some roads are flooded jams in our city is so notorious that they sometime scare away foreign tourists. Above all, the country loses a huge amount of money annually due to the unresolved traffic problem.
Ironically, behind the skycrappers there stand a long of shabby houses occupied by the so - called " Slam dwellers " who live among civilization. They experience a tough life in a city where the standard of living is very high. They have to struggle to survive. Some slum children are undernourished while some of them are abandoned by their parents. Thus, there is a saying that city is a heaven of the rich and a hell of the poor as the poor have to work hard just to make ends meet.
Even though a city life is quit tough, people prefer to live in a city as it is a center of almost everything, may it be educational institutions of business centers and it is window to the outside world. Opportunities for higher education and better jobs are greater than in the countryside. Every year rural people migrate to the city with the aim of digging gold. Some may be successful while some may fail to get anything and return to one person but may not be suitable to an other. Anyone who wants seek a fortune in a city should think about this carefully.
