The life in a big city vs. the life in a small city

         Living in a big city is completely different from the live in a small city . I prefer to live in a big city for many reasons . For an example, in a big city I would have many modern services that what I would not have if I live in a small city .

        First of all , I would like to talk about transportation . In a big city you will use the best ways for transportation such as cars , buses, taxis , and subways , yet you will not see some of them in the small cities . Second, you will have good jobs in the big cities , but you will not have the same chance in the small cities because it's small places so, it will not need the modern jobs in its area . Then I would like to talk about food . When you live in a big city you will be able to eat an international food at many restaurants . However, you will not be able to eat it in the small cities because most of the people in these places depend on the farms to eat . In contrast, you will have better services in the big cities for example in hospitals .It has many modern equipments in the big cities with better care from the nurses ,but if you are patient in a small city you will not have the same healthy care . The ways to connect between people in the small cities are extremely different from the ways in the big cities for example, we have the internet service in the big cities ,but most of the people in the small cities do not have it .Even though the internet service will not be fast same as in the big cities. That's why the relationships are more stronger in the small cities because most of the people do not have many ways to connect each others except the visiting .

       The weather at some big cities is cold . Similarly, the small cities some of them have an amazing cold weather . Some small cities have too many people ; big cities are ,too . Many people working in basic jobs at the small cities . People in the big cities working at basic jobs also. 

        Finally, big cities have better services and technology. I really prefer to live in a big city to have all things that I need. In my opinion , it's better to have children and raise them in a big city . That will make them able to improve themselves to have a good life.

Compare and Contrast between Arabic and English languages

         Languages always have some similarities and differences as well . All of the languages have special kind of culture . Arabic and English languages have different and long history. They have special techniques to learn , read , and write as well. 

         Similarly,  They both need time to learn .Also, they have special kinds of grammar to write . They need practice ,too because you will be able to lose both of them without practice. As well, they have specific kinds of culture that's belong to the language . Also, both of them have the alphabet characters.

          In contrast, while I grow up I learned my native language .Even though, I was 6 years when I learned how to speak in my native language ,yet I should learn the other languages after that age, which's something hard because child brain accept the information easier. On the other hand, I have 6 years to learn how to speak my native language ,but I just have one year to speak , read , and write in English . Although, I was surrounded by people who spoke my native language ,yet in English I used to translate from my native language to English in order to understand the content . However, I read for fun in my native language ,but I read for information in English. 

          All in all , all languages in the world need practice, and have many steps in the beginning as well . No one can be professional in writing or reading without those steps . So, learning a new language not that difficult; it just needs time.
