Today, there is an increasing trend in the number of immigrants who move from the rural to the urban working and living. These people try to settle here for their own achievements and their children’s future because they believe that only big cities give the best opportunities for the development of their children. Other people, however, think that it living in the countryside is better for child growth up. Personally, I support the latter idea.
There are number of reasons why people advocate child grow up in the big city. The most convincing is that has various studying chances for gifts of children such as art, gymnastics, music, dance, which is good for the long run development of children. Obviously, children cultural houses, children clubs are mushroomed. Language ability is a graphic example. A child was born in Hanoi capital and his parents send him to a bilingual language kindergarten where he can approach directly to native teachers. It is obvious that the ability of language of this child is better than a same aged child living in a small village. Moreover, another reason is that living condition as well as services in town are more superior than that in the countryside. In fact, there are many entertaining centers, parks, food and drink services, especially health care service. The city dweller can be easily and quickly to move their children to the nearest hospital in the emergency situations.
On the contrary, other cite argument against the above idea. Firstly, they believe that the countryside is an ideal place for children, especially for their health condition. Ecological environment in the countryside likes water source, atmosphere, foods and space is better than that in the city. For example, a child was born in Lao Cai, a poor province in Vietnam. However, the child breaths fresh air and eat fresh vegetables, fruits and meat every day. As a result, he rarely suffers from some breathing and digestion diseases. Secondly, it is thought that there are less social evils in the rural areas, so parents can control easily their children and clearly, these children tend not to be more naughty and disobedient.
In conclusion, growing up in the big city or in the countryside has their own positive sides. However, I personally think that the rural is more ideal for children, especially healthy environment, which is more important than the development of children’s talent.
